PREP THE BASE: Combine the frozen pineapple chunks, pineapple juice, and sweetened condensed milk directly inside your Ninja Creami pint container. Stir well, pressing down any stubborn fruit chunks so the mixture sits completely level.
FREEZE: Secure the storage lid and place the pint container on a flat surface in your freezer. Freeze for at least 24 hours.
RUN THE SORBET FUNCTION: Remove the lid and lock the frozen pint into your machine bowl assembly. Process using the "Sorbet" function. (Note: Don't worry if it looks powdery or crumbly after this first spin—that is totally normal!)
ADD MILK & RE-SPIN: Pour your splash of milk right over that crumbly pineapple mixture. Pop the bowl back into the machine and hit the "Re-Spin" button to instantly transform it into smooth, velvety soft serve. Serve immediately!
Notes
Make it Dairy-Free: To match the authentic Disney version, swap the condensed milk for sweetened condensed coconut milk. For your re-spin splash, use unsweetened coconut milk, oat milk, or extra pineapple juice.
The "Freeze Flat" Rule: Always freeze your pint completely level! If a frozen dome forms in the center, scrape it flat with a metal spoon before spinning to protect your machine's blade from damage.
Canned Fruit Alternative: Frozen or fresh ripe pineapple gives the best flavor. If using canned chunks, choose varieties packed in 100% heavy syrup and drain the liquid completely before measuring.
Storing Leftovers: Smooth the top of remaining Dole Whip, replace the lid, and freeze. To serve again, run the "Sorbet" cycle, add a fresh splash of liquid, and hit "Re-Spin" to restore the texture.
Batch Prepping: Perfect for making ahead! Secure the lids tightly to prevent freezer burn, and store your prepped pints in the freezer for up to 3 months for a quick treat.
