I didn't think frozen pineapple would outdo fresh until my kid announced this was the only thing she wanted all summer. Just three main things plus some jus and you've got pure nostalgia in a bowl!
Keep It Fresh
This treat shines if you eat it as soon as you blend it—that's when the texture's light and airy. If you need to stash leftovers, pop them in the freezer in something airtight. When you’re ready, toss it back in the blender with coconut milk to fluff it back up.
Swaps and Switchups
No frozen pineapple? Mango's a great stand-in. If you're not into bananas, swap in extra pineapple. If it tastes too sweet, use unsweetened coconut milk and let the fruit do the talking.
Fun Serving Ideas
Pour into tall glasses, stick in a straw, and add a pineapple wedge for that getaway feel. Try an extra swirl of jus up top or toss on shredded coconut to crank up the island vibes.

Backstory and Traditions
The idea comes from that iconic Dole Whip you see at popular theme parks. That one’s frozen pineapple soft-serve. This twist gives you a creamy, dairy-free version you can whip up at home, plus that modern kick from jus.
Recipe FAQs
- → Could I swap in other fruits, not just pineapple?
For sure! Try out frozen mango or maybe peaches if you want to shake things up. Just make sure your fruit's frozen for that thick, smooth result.
- → Which jus tastes the best here?
Vanilla jus is nice and creamy, but use whatever sweet jus or fruit nectar you like and it'll mix in perfectly.
- → Is there a way to keep this dairy-free?
Yep! If you go with coconut milk, it stays totally dairy-free and still gives you a velvety mix.
- → What if I want it to be less sugary?
Just pick unsweetened coconut milk or cut back the jus to keep things a bit more tart and not too sweet.
- → Can this be made before I need it?
Blending and eating right away makes it super creamy. If you need to make it ahead, freeze what’s left, then blend it again when you’re ready to dig in.
