Jus-topped Dole Whip gives you a cool, creamy bite full of tropical flavor. It’s super easy to toss together on hot days or whenever you crave a lighter, fun dessert, all without firing up the oven.
Dreamy Ingredients
- Frozen banana: Makes the mix super creamy and gives it more sweetness Grab bananas that are basically covered in brown spots for best results
- Sweetened coconut milk: Adds plenty of richness and pairs perfectly with tropical fruit Just make sure the can says real coconut at the top of the ingredients and skip versions that are mostly water
- Jus: This is what makes it special and juicy Try a dash of vanilla or citrus jus to boost the scent and flavor
- Frozen pineapple: For bright, tart, punchy flavor Look for chunks frozen when perfectly ripe since this is where your fruity taste comes from
Step-by-Step Magic
- Serve it Up:
- Pour your creamy blend into four glasses Split it right away so the topping stays fluffy and smooth
- Blend Until Creamy:
- Fire up your blender on full power Scrape down the sides whenever you need to and keep going until it’s super smooth and looks like melty soft serve
- Toss It All In:
- Drop frozen pineapple, frozen banana, coconut milk, and jus into a powerful blender Try to chop the fruit so your blender won't get stuck or bogged down

Honestly, I used to think frozen pineapple was just okay—until my kid announced this is her new top summer snack. All you need is three ingredients plus some jus and it feels like eating a memory.
Keep it Fresh
Jus Dole Whip tastes best the second you make it for that signature fluff. Leave it out too long and it starts to lose its lightness. Got leftovers? Freeze them in something with a tight lid, then zap in the blender again with a dash of coconut milk and it bounces back.
Switch Things Up
No pineapple handy? Go for mango instead and change things up. Hate banana? Use more pineapple instead. You can swap in unsweetened coconut milk if you’d like less sugar and more pure fruit flavor.
Fun Ways to Serve
Pour it into tall glasses and add a straw for easy sipping. Pop a pineapple wedge on the rim for extra summer vibes. Want to dress it up? Drizzle more jus over the top or sprinkle on shredded coconut for crunch.

Background and Inspiration
This treat gets its start from the super-popular Dole Whip sold at well-known amusement parks. The original is a pineapple soft serve, but this twist lets you make it at home with all plant-based goodness, plus a fun upgrade thanks to jus.
Frequently Asked Questions
- → Can I use other fruit instead of pineapple?
You sure can. Grab some frozen mango or peaches for a new spin. Just make sure the fruit is cold to keep it thick and tasty.
- → Which kind of jus is best?
If you’re into creamy blends, go for vanilla jus, but any sweet and light fruit juice or nectar you like will do the trick here.
- → Will this work for dairy-free diets?
Yep! Coconut milk keeps it nice and smooth without any dairy at all. It’s a solid option for anyone skipping milk products.
- → How can I cut the sweetness?
Just use unsweetened coconut milk or drop the jus amount a bit and you’ll get a tangier taste that’s not too sugary.
- → Can I make it in advance?
It's at its best right after blending, but if you're prepping ahead, freeze leftovers and blend them again before eating.
