How To Make Pineapple Whip

In a food processor, combine the banana 1 1/2 cups of pineapple, the coconut cream, pineapple juice, 2 teaspoons of lemon juice, and the vanilla and process for about 5 minutes, until mostly smooth.

Add the remaining 1 1/2 cups pineapple and continue to process for 2 to 3 minutes more, until the mixture is very smooth and creamy.

If large chunks of pineapple persist, pulse either to ten times until they break up. Taste and add the remaining 1 teaspoon lemon juice if a tarter soft serve is desired. Serve immediately.

Storing

If you’re not able to eat this right away, or if you have some leftovers you can store them in a freezer-safe container in the freezer until you’re ready to serve. You may have to mix it with a hand mixer to bring it back to the right consistency before serving.

To Freeze: Eating this fresh will give you the best, creamiest texture, but you can store it in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Before enjoying it, let it melt a bit on the counter, say 15 to 20 minutes, and then use an immersion blender or handheld electric mixer to smooth it out and make it less icy.

How Should I Serve Pineapple Whip?

There are so many options aside from serving in a bowl.

Simply scoop out into a bowl and serve with a spoon.
Fill a piping bag with a large tip to get a fun swirl effect.
Let it sit a bit in the freezer to firm up, use an ice cream scoop to fill your bowl, or make a pineapple whip float with pineapple juice.
Serve with small chunks of pineapple on top.

Expert Tips And FAQs

I suggest keeping frozen bananas in your freezer at all times. When they start to go brown on your counter, just peel, slice, and freeze!

Do I need an Ice Cream maker to make Pineapple Whip?

Nope! You can use a food processor, which we’ve done here, or a strong blender like a Vitamix to create the same texture.
