Easy Ninja Creami Dole Whip – Protein Version

This Ninja Creami Dole Whip recipe blends pineapple, whey isolate, and coconut milk into a super creamy, high-protein soft-serve. It takes 5 minutes to prep, freezes in 24 hours, and yields 1 pint. Use 30 g protein for a fluffy texture or 50 g for a scoopable texture.

This recipe is super easy and will be a staple like my Coconut Ice Cream for the Ninja Creami or my Ninja Creami Protein Coffee Ice Cream.

Ah, Dole Whip. The iconic, frozen pineapple treat from Disney World. This delicious frozen treat is no longer limited to vacation–now you can have this tasty treat in your own home, without the crowds and long lines, just by using your Ninja Creami!

Ninja Creami recipes made with fruit give some of the best flavors and textures, and pineapple is no exception. Other great fruit ice creams include my Raspberry Sorbet Ninja Creami and my Ninja Creami Orange Creamsicle Ice Cream.

Key Ingredients

This recipe uses very simple ingredients. All you need is:

Pineapple – To make this recipe easy, just use some canned crushed pineapple or a can of pineapple chunks–either works! I buy the canned pineapple packed in 100% juice to avoid heavy syrup.

I’ve also made this with fresh pineapple chunks I cut myself, and that works great, too.

Vanilla Whey Isolate Protein Powder – Use your favorite whey isolate powder for this recipe. If you need a dairy-free dessert, make this Dole Whip vegan by using a plant-based protein powder.

Unsweetened Coconut Milk – Make sure you use the coconut milk beverage, not the canned coconut milk.

Though you certainly could use canned coconut milk if you want a rich and creamy Dole whip, it will significantly alter the calories and fat macros on this recipe.

Optional Added Sweetener – I add 2 tbsp of allulose. You can use whatever sweetener you prefer. While optional, freezing will dull the sweetness of the fruit, so a little extra sweetness is a good idea.

How to Get the Perfect Ninja Creami Texture

The amount of protein powder you use will alter the texture!

•If you want a thick Dole Whip with extra protein, use 50 grams (a bit more than 1 1/2 scoops) of vanilla whey isolate.

•If you want a lighter, fluffier texture (and a little less protein), use about 30 grams (or 1 scoop) of protein powder (roughly 30 grams–varies by brand). The different protein content makes for a texture change.

See photo below.

On the left is 30 grams of protein powder, on the right is 50 grams. You can see how the 30-gram protein Dole whip gives a fluffy texture, whereas the 50-gram is somewhere in between a soft-serve ice cream and traditional ice cream. It’s thick and scoopable, yet also soft and creamy.

How to Store the Leftover Dole Whip

If you do not finish the whole pint at once, flatten the top with the back of your spoon before putting it in the freezer again.

Next time you want to eat it, use the Ninja Creami to do the same spins you did the first time to get that delicious, creamy texture back. Use the Lite Ice Cream setting followed by a re-spin if needed.

You can also put the pint container in the microwave for 30-seconds to get the leftover Dole whip soft enough to eat. It will be scoopable with a spoon at that point, but it will not be as creamy as it is after using the Ninja Creami ice cream maker.
