Perfect for summer days, beach-themed parties, or anytime you crave a taste of the tropics, this recipe combines the sweetness of pineapple with the smoothness of vanilla ice cream for a treat that’s sure to delight. Whether you’re reminiscing about your last island getaway or dreaming of your next one, this pineapple whip is your ticket to instant vacation vibes.
Ingredients:
- ½ cup pineapple juice (fresh or store-bought)
- 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks (about 10 ounces)
- 1 cup vanilla ice cream (dairy or dairy-free, your choice)
Preparation:
Blend: In a high-speed blender, combine the pineapple juice, frozen pineapple chunks, and vanilla ice cream. Blend on medium speed for 1 ½ to 2 ½ minutes, or until the mixture is thick, smooth, and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add more pineapple juice, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
Serve Immediately: Scoop the pineapple whip directly into cups or bowls for a casual treat. For a fancier presentation, transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Freeze the piping bag for 30 minutes to firm up the mixture slightly, then pipe into serving dishes for a professional finish.
Tips & Variations:
Coconut Variation: For a dairy-free or tropical twist, replace the vanilla ice cream with ¼ to ⅓ cup of unsweetened canned coconut milk or coconut cream. Adjust consistency with pineapple juice as needed.
Storage: Store the pineapple whip in an airtight container or piping bag in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Allow it to defrost for 20-30 minutes before serving for easier scooping or piping. For individual servings, portion the whip into disposable cups and freeze, covering if not consumed within a day.
Yield: Approximately 2 cups (4 servings, ½ cup each).
Enjoy this tropical treat and let every bite take you to paradise!
