What Is Ninja Creami Dole Whip Ice Cream?

Inspired by the beloved theme park treat, Dole Whip is a soft, fruity frozen dessert traditionally made with pineapple. This version is reimagined for the Ninja Creami, transforming frozen pineapple chunks and creamy coconut or almond milk into a dreamy, spoonable dessert that’s naturally sweetened and totally refreshing.

The Ninja Creami’s spinning technology gives you the same texture as churned ice cream, without needing an ice cream maker or hours of manual work. It’s perfect for creating Ninja Creami pineapple ice cream, banana blends, high-protein bowls, and endless custom combinations.

Pinch of salt

How to Make Dole Whip Ice Cream in the Ninja Creami – Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Combine your ingredients.
   In a blender or food processor, add the pineapple chunks, milk, maple syrup, vanilla, salt, and optional protein powder. Blend until smooth and pour into a Ninja Creami pint container.
2. Freeze the base.
   Place the pint container on a level surface in your freezer and freeze for at least 24 hours. The surface should be completely flat and solid before spinning.
3. Spin it.
   After freezing, insert the pint into the outer bowl, attach the paddle, and lock into the machine. Select the “Lite Ice Cream” setting for a creamy consistency.
4. Re-spin if needed.
   If the texture is crumbly, add 1–2 tablespoons of liquid (like almond milk or pineapple juice) and re-spin. Most users find that 1–2 re-spins make it perfectly smooth.
5. Scoop and enjoy.
   Serve immediately with fresh pineapple, coconut flakes, or even banana slices on top.
