  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 scoop vanilla ice cream (optional)
  • 1 cup crushed pineapple
  • 1/4 cup chopped macadamia nuts (for garnish)
  • 1 package of chocolate sandwich cookies (e.g., Oreos), crushed

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Add the coconut milk and stir until smooth.
  2. Add the frozen banana to the saucepan and puree with an immersion blender or a regular blender until creamy and smooth.
  3. Stir in the vanilla ice cream, if using, and cook for another minute or until well combined.

  5. Freeze for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving. When ready to serve, drizzle with additional coconut milk or whipped cream, if desired.

A little tip: For an extra-decadent treat, dip the rim of your serving glass in melted chocolate and then roll it in crushed cookies for a cookie-crusted glass!

Pineapple Dole Smoothie

Pineapple Dole Smoothie

Dreamy summer days are made for sipping on something refreshing and easy to make. I’ve got just the thing – a deliciously simple Pineapple Dole Smoothie that’s perfect for hot afternoons spent lounging in the sun.

Prep time

minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
  • 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt (chilled)
  • 1/4 cup pineapple juice (chilled)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Ice cubes (optional)
  • Whipped cream or coconut flakes for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Start by adding the frozen pineapple chunks, vanilla yogurt, and pineapple juice to a blender. You can use any brand of pineapple juice you like – I prefer Dole’s classic pineapple juice.
  2. Add in the honey and blend on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Be careful not to over-blend, or your smoothie will end up too thin!
  3. Add ice cubes if you want a thicker consistency, and blend again until crushed.
  4. Blend for about 20-30 seconds, or until the mixture is well combined and frosty. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed – you can always add more honey, but it’s harder to take it away!
  5. Pour your smoothie into glasses and top with whipped cream or coconut flakes if you’re feeling fancy.

When making this smoothie, remember that it’s all about balance. You want a good mix of sweetness from the pineapple juice and honey, but also some tanginess from the yogurt to keep things interesting. And don’t forget to blend until smooth – nobody likes chunky pineapple bits in their drink!

This smoothie is perfect for hot summer days because it’s so easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. Try serving it at your next BBQ or potluck, and watch as everyone devours the glasses. You can even customize with different types of yogurt or fruit to keep things fresh.

Slice it up, serve with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey and enjoy the ooohs and ahhhs from your family and friends!

  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat (375F). Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side.
  4. While the chicken is cooking, heat another tablespoon of vegetable oil in a separate saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and saut for 1 minute, until fragrant.
  5. Add the chopped pineapple to the saucepan with the garlic and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the pineapple is lightly caramelized.

  7. To serve, place the cooked chicken breasts on a platter or individual plates, then spoon the pineapple sauce over the top. Garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired.

  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle to 375F (190C). Grease with cooking spray if needed. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop the batter onto the skillet. You’ll get about 8-10 pancakes.
  5. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles appear on the surface and edges start to dry. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter.
  6. Tip: To ensure even cooking, don’t overcrowd the skillet! Cook in batches if necessary. Also, keep an eye on those heat settings you want a nice, gentle sizzle, not a furious blaze!
  7. Serve warm with a drizzle of cinnamon or maple syrup, if you like. The sweetness will transport you to a sunny breakfast spot, I promise!

The Dole banana pancake’s unique charm lies in its subtle tanginess and velvety texture the result of using ripe bananas. When sliced open, the fluffy interior glistens with a hint of golden brown goodness. Try topping them with fresh fruit or whipped cream for an unforgettable brunch experience!

Dole Pineapple Salsa

Dole Pineapple Salsa

Just in time for summer gatherings and outdoor events, I’ve got a refreshing recipe that’s sure to become a staple at your next BBQ or potluck. This sweet and tangy salsa is made with the perfect combination of juicy pineapple, crunchy red onion, and zesty jalapeo, all tied together with a hint of cilantro and lime juice.

Servings

5

servings
Prep time

15

minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup diced fresh pineapple (about 1/2 cup chunks)
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1 minced jalapeo pepper
  • 1 tablespoon freshly chopped cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the diced pineapple, red onion, jalapeo pepper, chopped cilantro, and grated ginger.
  2. Squeeze in the lime juice and toss everything together until well combined.
  3. Season with salt and pepper to taste. I like to use a light hand when it comes to salt you can always add more, but it’s harder to remove excess salt from the mixture.
  4. Give the salsa a good stir and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This will also help to soften the pineapple slightly, making it easier to scoop up with tortilla chips or pita bread.

Tips from the kitchen:

  • For an added kick, use a diced serrano pepper instead of jalapeo. The heat level is similar, but the flavor profile is slightly different.
  • To prevent browning, make sure to handle the pineapple chunks gently and keep them away from direct sunlight.
  • If you’re short on time, feel free to skip the resting period the salsa will still be delicious! However, I find that letting it sit for a bit really brings out the flavors and makes it even more enjoyable.

This Dole Pineapple Salsa is perfect for topping tacos, grilled meats, or veggies. You can also use it as a dip for crackers or chips just be prepared for requests for seconds (and maybe even thirds!)!

  4. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients (flour mixture) until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

  6. Remove from oven and sprinkle chopped walnuts on top of warm cookies. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips: To ensure your cookies don’t spread too much, chill the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes before baking. Also, make sure to use ripe bananas – they add natural sweetness and tenderness to the cookie. Lastly, if you’re not a fan of walnuts, feel free to substitute with chopped pecans or hazelnuts!

The texture of these cookies is amazing – soft in the center and crispy on the edges, thanks to the oatmeal and butter. The bananas add natural sweetness without making them too sweet.

Dole Pineapple Teriyaki Beef

Dole Pineapple Teriyaki Beef

August is in full swing, and you know what that means – summer vibes are still strong! I’m sharing one of my favorite quick and delicious recipes to get you through the remaining months of warm weather. Imagine a sweet and savory fusion of flavors, perfect for your next backyard BBQ or potluck.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb beef strips (sirloin or ribeye work great)
  • 1 cup Dole pineapple chunks in juice
  • 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, ginger, brown sugar, and garlic in a large bowl. Add the beef strips and toss to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
  2. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (400F). Remove the beef from the marinade, letting any excess liquid drip off. Grill the beef for 3-4 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Transfer the beef to a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  3. While the beef is resting, heat the pineapple chunks in their juice over medium heat (180F) in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced slightly and the pineapple is caramelized. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
  4. Once the beef is ready, slice it against the grain into thin strips. Serve with the pineapple chunks and their sauce spooned over the top. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired.

Tips: To ensure the beef stays tender, don’t overcook it! Use a meat thermometer to check for internal temperature (135-140F for medium-rare). Also, make sure to let the beef rest before slicing – this allows the juices to redistribute and makes each bite more flavorful.

The combination of sweet pineapple and savory teriyaki sauce is absolute perfection. I love serving this dish with a side of steamed vegetables or a simple green salad for a balanced meal. The best part? It’s ready in under 30 minutes, making it perfect for those busy summer days!

  • 1 cup milk (any type, I like whole for extra creaminess)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • Cinnamon to taste
  • Butter or non-stick cooking spray for greasing the pan

Instructions

  1. Mix together milk, eggs, and sugar in a shallow dish until well combined. Add sliced bananas and stir gently to prevent mashing.
  2. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat (around 325F). Grease the pan with butter or cooking spray.
  3. Don’t skip this step – a good non-stick surface is essential for perfect French toast!

  4. Dip each slice of bread into the milk mixture, coating both sides evenly. Place coated bread slices on the skillet or griddle.
  5. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly puffed. Repeat with remaining bread slices.
  6. Keep an eye on that temperature – you want it hot enough to cook the French toast quickly, but not so hot that it burns!

  7. Serve warm, topped with your favorite toppings (we love fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a drizzle of honey).

And there you have it! The sweet, creamy goodness of Dole Banana French Toast. The bananas add natural sweetness and a silky texture that’s hard to resist. Try serving this for a weekend brunch or special occasion – your family will love it!

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds beef pork or beef ribs
  • 1 cup Dole Pineapple Juice
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Wood chips or chunks for smoking (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to 275F. If you have a smoker, get it fired up to 225-250F.
  2. Mix the pineapple juice, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until well combined.
  3. Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs (this will help them stay tender). Place the ribs on the grill or smoker, bone-side down. If using wood chips or chunks, add them to the grill now.
  4. Cook the ribs for 2 hours, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160F. After 1 hour and 30 minutes, brush the ribs with the pineapple BBQ sauce every 15-20 minutes to prevent sticking and promote even browning.
  5. After 2 hours, increase the grill temperature to 400F for a crispy finish. Close the lid and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the ribs are nicely caramelized.
  6. Remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

The result is fall-off-the-bone tender ribs smothered in a sweet, tangy BBQ sauce with hints of pineapple. Perfectly grilled to perfection, these babies are sure to impress your friends and family! You can serve them as is or pile them high on a bun with coleslaw and pickles either way, they’re a winner!

Dole Banana Nutella Crepes

Dole Banana Nutella Crepes

Alright friends, let’s talk about something amazing – Dole Banana Nutella Crepes! A few days ago, I was rummaging through my kitchen, looking for the perfect breakfast idea. I stumbled upon a pack of crepe mix and thought to myself, “Why not?” I combined it with some ripe bananas, Nutella, and a sprinkle of cinnamon, and voil! This dish is a symphony of flavors and textures.

minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 package Dole crepe mix (8-10 crepes)
  • 2 ripe bananas, sliced
  • 1/4 cup Nutella
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Mix the crepe mix according to the package instructions using 1 1/4 cups of water. Let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the gluten to relax.
  2. In a non-stick pan, melt 1 tbsp of butter over medium heat (350F). Once melted, tilt the pan to ensure the butter covers the entire surface.
  3. Using a ladle, pour some crepe batter into the center of the pan and spread it evenly with a spatula. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the edges start to curl and the bottom is lightly browned.
  4. Lift the crepe and rotate it 90 to ensure even cooking. Repeat this process for the remaining batter, greasing the pan with melted butter between each crepe.
  5. While the crepes are cooking, spread a tbsp of Nutella on each crepe, leaving a small border around the edges. Arrange sliced bananas on top of the Nutella and sprinkle with cinnamon.
  6. To assemble the dish, roll up the crepes tightly and place them seam-side down on a serving platter or individual plates. Drizzle with melted butter and serve immediately.

This recipe yields 8-10 crepes, depending on how thin you roll them out. I love that they’re perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even as a sweet dessert. The Nutella adds a rich flavor, while the bananas provide natural sweetness. Try serving with whipped cream or ice cream for an extra-special treat! Your guests will be impressed by these delicate crepes filled with banana and chocolate goodness.
