Homemade Orange Dole Whip (Printable version)
A creamy blend of frozen orange and pineapple with vanilla yogurt creates this refreshing frozen dessert in just 10 minutes.
# What you need:
→ Fruit
01 - 2 cups frozen orange segments, peeled and seeded
02 - 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
→ Dairy & Alternatives
03 - 1/2 cup vanilla Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt for dairy-free
04 - 1/3 cup whole milk or coconut milk for dairy-free
→ Sweetener
05 - 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup, adjust to taste
→ Flavoring
06 - 1 teaspoon orange zest
07 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
08 - Pinch of salt
# How To:
01 - Place the frozen orange segments and frozen pineapple chunks in a high-powered blender or food processor.
02 - Add the Greek yogurt, milk, honey, orange zest, vanilla extract, and salt to the blender.
03 - Blend on high speed, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula, until the mixture reaches a creamy, smooth consistency.
04 - Taste the mixture and add additional honey if you prefer more sweetness.
05 - For soft-serve texture, serve immediately in bowls or pipe through a piping bag for classic presentation. For firmer, scoopable texture, transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 2–3 hours before scooping.
