Do you think it would be possible to do this with out fruit flavors? Like strawberry perhaps?
Other fruit flavors would probably work, Joni, but I don’t think strawberries are a good idea, as they have a very high water content and are icy when blended and frozen. I think mango and/or banana would also work quite well. Feel free to experiment!
My mallow cream froze up- did I do something wrong? It won’t mix in.
Did you defrost half of the pineapple before blending it, Natalie? I’ve actually made this recipe (in testing) without defrosting any of the pineapple, and the marshmallow creme never froze (as it actually never freezes solid, since sugar doesn’t freeze solid). It just didn’t blend properly.
Nicole, we love Dole Whip too! I make something similar also trying to imitate Dole Whip but my daughter is sugar/dairy free as well as gluten/grain free so we were unable to use the marshmallow creme (bet that makes it really creamy/light!). Here’s what we use: 1 lb. frozen pineapple (let defrost on counter until you it starts to soften), 1-2 Tbs. lemon juice (to taste, omit if you’re not a fan of tartness or your pineapple is on the tart side), a few drops of stevia (to taste, depending on sweetness of pineapple). If it’s too much for the blender we might add a little pineapple juice, coconut milk or even water works. We blend it up in our high powered blender and LOVE our healthy treat. You can freeze any leftovers, just allow them to thaw slightly before eating as it’ll be pretty hard straight out of the freezer but quickly thaws to more of a sorbetto texture. Thanks for the reminder, we’ll be having some tonight! Love your recipes and website. Your flour blends are the ones we use the most (with a slight adaptation for the powdered milk we can’t use). Thanks for all your inspiration!
We make smoothies like that all the time, Holly! Glad you found something that works for your family.
I’ve got to try this out – I so, so hope this is as good as I remember it being 26 years ago as a kid on holiday to Hawaii, visiting the Dole plantation!
I was considering importing a sack of the mix half way round the world. I’m hoping this’ll save me the bother!
Oh, no, Lisa! Seriously I’m not necessarily strongly against additives all the time (everything in moderation), but that list of ingredients is a mile long. I think you’re better off with this recipe. :)
