Healthy Ice Cream?? Made Ya Look!

Pineapple Whip

Serves: 4-6

 

Last year we went to Disney.  And of course, everyone who knew we were going had tidbits of advice.  What to do when, where to stay, what to ride, what to skip...and, my favorite tidbits:  what to eat.  This girl loves food.  Loves, loves, loves.  You know this, right?!

File under "When in Rome...." we were told that we HAD to (as in do not leave unless you've gotten this, under no circumstances do you miss this, it's even better than parades, fireworks and character meals...well, okay, not exactly, but....) seek this out in the park and indulge.  And so we did.  Behold, the Dole Whip!

And now you can enjoy a very similar concoction in the comfort of your very own home.  But wait.  There's more.  You can do so without long lines, paying a ton OR having to hide as the stuff drips down to your elbows.  True story.

The taste...

 

The verdict.  This stuff is GOOD!

 

What You'll Need (seriously, this is it!)

• 1 fresh pineapple, peeled, cored and chopped
• 1 cup almond milk
• 1 tablespoon honey (or agave nectar...optional, for authentic sweetness)

What You'll Do

Chop and freeze the pineapple chunks.
 
This recipe works best in a high-speed blender.  A normal blender will most likely not work, but a food processor might.
 
Combine the frozen pineapple with the almond milk and honey, then blend until a frozen sorbet texture is achieved.  You'll probably have to blend, scrape, blend...maybe reserve a little milk to add in as things get a little "gunked up."
For an authentic Dole Whip presentation, transfer the frozen dessert to a large plastic bag, and cut off the tip to create a piping bag. Pipe the pineapple whip into 4-6 dishes, and serve immediately!
 
Any leftovers can be frozen in an ice cube tray, and used in smoothies later.  Like you'll have leftovers...I mean, come on!  LOL
