Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Ninja Creami Dole Whip

Step 1: Prep the Mixture
In a blender, combine 20 ounces of pineapple chunks (either fresh or drained canned) with ½ cup of coconut milk. If you prefer a sweeter taste, add 2 tablespoons of agave syrup. Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, which should take about 1–2 minutes. The consistency should resemble a thick, velvety liquid, perfect for a delightful Ninja Creami Dole Whip.

Step 2: Freeze the Mixture
Pour the blended mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container, ensuring you do not exceed the max fill line to achieve the best texture. Seal the container tightly with its lid, and place it in the freezer. Allow it to freeze for at least 24 hours. This freezing process will help create that creamy, soft-serve texture we love in Dole Whip.

Step 3: Process the Sorbet
After 24 hours, remove the frozen pint from the freezer. Attach the lid to the Ninja Creami and load the pint into the machine. Select the “Sorbet” setting and process for 2-3 minutes. When finished, check the texture; it should be creamy and smooth. If it’s too icy, you may add a splash of coconut milk and run it through the machine again for a softer consistency.

Step 4: Serve
Once the Ninja Creami Dole Whip has reached the perfect texture, scoop it into bowls. You can garnish with diced pineapple or toasted coconut for that extra touch. Serve immediately for the best experience, as the sorbet is at its creamiest right after processing. Enjoy this refreshing treat as a delightful dessert or a cool snack on a warm day!

Make Ahead Options

These Dairy-Free Ninja Creami Dole Whip treats are perfect for busy home cooks looking to save time during a hectic week! You can blend the pineapple mixture up to 24 hours in advance and store it in a Ninja Creami pint container in the refrigerator for a refreshing treat whenever the cravings hit. Just remember to park it in the freezer until you’re ready to process it. When you’re set to serve, simply process the frozen mixture in your Ninja Creami on the “Sorbet” setting for 2-3 minutes, and voilà! You’ll have a delicious dessert that will impress, all while keeping your kitchen stress-free!

Storage Tips for Ninja Creami Dole Whip

Fridge: Store any leftover sorbet in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Since it’s dairy-free, this sorbet maintains its vibrant flavor in the fridge.

Freezer: If not consumed right away, refreeze the sorbet in a tightly sealed container for up to a month. To retain its creamy texture, let it sit at room temperature for about 5–10 minutes before serving.

Reheating: There’s no need to reheat this sorbet, but if it’s too hard straight from the freezer, allow it to soften a bit before scooping for the best experience.

Dairy-Free Pineapple Sorbet (Ninja Creami Dole Whip) Recipe FAQs

How do I select ripe pineapple for this recipe?
Absolutely! For the best flavor, look for pineapples that are slightly soft to the touch with a sweet aroma. If using fresh pineapple, ensure it is golden in color. If you opt for canned, choose those packed in juice rather than syrup for a healthier choice.

How should I store leftover sorbet?
You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For longer storage, transfer it to a tightly sealed container and freeze it for up to a month. Just let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving to achieve a creamy texture.

Can I freeze this sorbet mixture before processing?
Yes, you can freeze the mixture before processing! Just make sure to blend the mixture smooth, pour into a pint container without exceeding the fill line, and freeze for at least 24 hours. This allows the sorbet to develop the right texture by freezing evenly.

What should I do if the sorbet turns out too icy?
If your Dole Whip is too icy after processing, simply add a splash of coconut milk and process it again in the Ninja Creami. This should help achieve that creamy, soft-serve consistency we all love! Remember, properly blending the pineapple is crucial for preventing icy bits.

Is this recipe safe for those with dairy allergies?
Very! This Dairy-Free Ninja Creami Dole Whip is a fantastic choice for anyone avoiding dairy, as it uses coconut milk instead. However, double-check ingredient labels on your coconut milk and any add-ins to ensure they are dairy-free, as cross-contamination can sometimes occur.
