Ingredients
  

Cottage Cheese Dole Whip
  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
  • 2 tbsp honey or agave
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 0.25 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.125 tsp salt

Equipment

  • 1 stand mixer

Method
 

Blend the base
  1. Add full-fat cottage cheese, frozen pineapple chunks, honey or agave, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt to a high-powered blender. Blend until completely smooth, using a few stop-and-scrape moments to pull everything into the blades.
  2. Blend for at least 2 minutes until the texture is silky with no cottage cheese lumps. Stop when the mixture looks fully uniform and thick like soft serve.
  3. Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness as needed by adding more honey or agave. Blend again briefly until the adjustment disappears.
Pipe and serve
  1. Transfer the blended mixture to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe into cups in a classic Dole Whip swirl shape.
  2. Serve immediately so the soft-serve texture stays airy and thick. Look for a bright yellow-cream color with visible swirls on top.

Notes

For the smoothest result, make sure the frozen pineapple chunks are relatively small and blend in short cycles with a scrape-down if needed. Keep leftovers covered in the freezer up to 1 day; let it sit at room temperature for 2–3 minutes, then re-blend or stir before serving again. No freezer-burn prevention needed for short storage. Dietary swap: use maple syrup instead of honey/agave for a different flavor while keeping it dairy-rich and high-protein.
