Introduction

Looking for a creamy, refreshing, and naturally sweet dessert that won’t derail your healthy eating goals? This Homemade Pineapple Whip is the perfect alternative to sugar-laden frozen treats. Made with real fruit, Greek yogurt, and unsweetened almond milk, this zero to low-point dessert is light, delicious, and packed with tropical flavor. It’s a perfect summer treat or an everyday snack that feels indulgent without the guilt!

Origin and Cultural Significance

Pineapple whip is inspired by the popular Dole Whip, a beloved Disney Park treat known for its creamy, fruity goodness. While the original version contains added sugars and stabilizers, this homemade version uses wholesome ingredients to keep it light, refreshing, and naturally sweetened.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks – 0 points
  • ½ cup unsweetened almond milk – 0 points
  • ½ cup non-fat Greek yogurt – 0 points
  • 1 tbsp honey or sugar substitute (optional) – 1 point (if used)
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract – 0 points

Optional Additions

  • A squeeze of fresh lime juice for a citrusy twist
  • A pinch of cinnamon for extra depth of flavor
  • A splash of coconut extract for a tropical boost
  • Frozen mango or banana for a fruitier variation

Instructions

  1. Blend the Ingredients: Add the frozen pineapple chunks, almond milk, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract to a blender or food processor.
  2. Blend Until Smooth: Process until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
  3. Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer extra sweetness, add honey or a sugar substitute and blend again.
  4. Serve Immediately or Freeze: Enjoy as soft-serve immediately or freeze for 15-20 minutes for a firmer consistency.

  • If your blender struggles, let the pineapple thaw for 5 minutes before blending.
  • For a soft-serve look, pipe it into bowls using a star tip.
