Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Freeze the Pineapple:

Start by peeling, corning, and cutting one fresh ripe pineapple into chunks. Spread the pineapple chunks evenly on a lined baking sheet and freeze them until they are completely solid. This will take at least 24 hours.

2. Blend Pineapple and Coconut Milk:

Once the pineapple chunks are frozen, place them in a food processor. Add ½ cup of coconut milk to the processor and blend the mixture until it’s smooth and creamy. You may need to scrape down the sides of the processor and add more coconut milk as needed to help with blending.

3. Adjust Sweetness:

Taste the pineapple whip and decide if it needs a little more sweetness. If the pineapple wasn’t super ripe and naturally sweet, you can add 1-3 tablespoons of sweetener—honey, maple syrup, or agave work well. Process the mixture again to incorporate the sweetener.

4. Serve the Pineapple Whip:

For that classic soft-serve-like appearance, fit a piping bag with a star tip. Fill the bag with the pineapple whip and pipe it into serving bowls in a swirling motion. You can garnish it with a sprig of mint or extra coconut flakes for added flavor.

Pro Tip: If you prefer a dairy-free version, this pineapple whip is already perfect as is, thanks to the coconut milk. For a similar flavor experience, try Pineapple Ice Cream for an indulgent treat!
