Ingredients
4 ounces pineapple juice
1 big scoop vanilla ice cream (about 3/4 cup)
2 cups frozen pineapple chunks
2 tablespoons sugar , optional but recommended
splash of lemon juice
pinch of salt
Instructions
Combine all the ingredients in a blender (in the order listed); blend until smooth and ultra creamy, pushing down the pineapple chunks if necessary, about 3 minutes.
At this point you can pour into dessert cups. But I like to freeze the mixture for 30-40 minutes, then transfer to a piping bag with a 1M “star” tip (to get that iconic Dole Whip swirl.)
Swirl into glasses.
(To help the soft-serve hold its shape even longer, freeze the swirled whip another 20 minutes.)
