Pineapple Whip

I'll be the first to admit that I don't have the best memory when it comes to my childhood.  I can't remember the name of my best friend in Kindergarten or recite all the words on the third grade spelling bee like my husband.  But one thing that I DO remember about my childhood is spending what felt like hours and hours playing in the gigantic snow drifts that surrounded our house every winter.❄️  I've learned not to trust my memory so I never really knew whether there were actually 5 foot snow drifts or if they just seemed exceptionally huge from my unusually short perspective.🤷🏻‍♀️😂  Then I found this picture of me, my brother and my neighbors in the homemade snow fort that we built in my front yard during an Ohio winter as proof that we really did have massive amounts of snow in Ohio.  This is also proof that brothers giving bunny ears to their little sisters in pictures is a time honored tradition.🤣

We got some snow in Georgia last night.  Not nearly the amount that we used to get when we lived in the snow belt, but our pristine white layer of glistening snow made for a pretty wintery morning. 

Taking pictures of snow will never get old.  

In honor of the artic blast that much of the country is experiencing today - I though I would share one of my favorite frozen treats.  Pineapple whip is super easy to make and it's just as delicious on a winter day as it is on the hottest day of the summer. 

Pineapple Whip
8 ounces pineapple juice
1 1/2 cups vanilla ice cream
4 cups frozen pineapple chunks
1/4 cup sugar 
2 teaspoons lemon juice
pinch of salt

Combine all ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth. 

Transfer mixture to a glass dish and freeze mixture 30 minutes.  

Spoon into a piping bag fitted with a 1M tip and swirl whip into dessert dishes.  Freeze again if needed.  

Ciao!
