Healthy Homemade Dole Whip

Dole Whip is one of those delicious treats we could eat all day long. But you can’t just buy it from the store and even if you could, have you ever looked at the ingredients? It’s full of processed stuff you probably don’t want to eat often.

But now you don’t have to think about all those ingredients because you can make homemade Dole Whip at home with this incredibly easy recipe. This version is healthy with just 3 ingredients and with no refined sugar, it’s Paleo-friendly and still dairy-free.

I happened to make this delicious recipe as a “pineapple ice cream” on a whim a few weeks ago and it was so tasty, I had to make it again and again and again. My kids love it just as much as I do and it’s practically guilt-free because it’s simply fruit with a little coconut milk.

One day, one of my kids mentioned that our “pineapple ice cream” tastes a lot like Dole Whip and I realized that’s exactly what this – Homemade Dole Whip!

I’ll often whip up a double (or triple) batch of these easy recipe as a healthy frozen treat for my whole family when we’re craving something sweet.

 

How to Make Healthy Homemade Dole Whip:

• 1 banana
• 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks*
• 2-4 Tbsp coconut milk (or almond or cashew milk, whatever you prefer)
• optional: grass-fed collagen peptides, for a creamier taste and added health benefits

*you can cut up a fresh pineapple and freeze the chunks too, but if you’re like me and are too lazy for all that cutting, just buy a bag of frozen pineapple – it’s much easier!

You won’t need an ice cream maker for this homemade dole whip, but you will need a food processor.

Put the banana, pineapple chunks, and coconut milk into your food processor.

Blend for 20-40 seconds or so (depending on how powerful your processor is). It will probably make a lot of noise and you’ll definitely want the stopper on the top to prevent anything from flying out; frozen pineapple takes some power to chop up!

If you’re adding collagen peptides, now is the time to add a scoop or two.

Stop and scrape down the sides and blend again for a few more seconds until it’s nice and creamy.

Serve immediately.

Or if you plan to serve it later or would like it a little firmer, scoop into a container – I prefer a bread pan and freeze for 1-2 hours.

If you leave it in the freezer overnight, you’ll need to thaw it a little before you can scoop it.

Scoop and serve your delicious healthy homemade Dole Whip!
