Make the whip by blending frozen fruit with orange juice and a creamy base. Blend until smooth and scoop or pipe it like soft-serve. Chill if you want it firmer.

Ingredients :

• 3 cups frozen pineapple chunks
• 1 cup orange juice (cold)
• 1/2 cup orange sherbet or vanilla ice cream (use dairy-free sherbet for vegan)

• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
• A small splash of milk, coconut milk, or water if needed to blend
