FAQ

• Can I use canned pineapple instead of fresh?Indeed, you can utilize canned pineapple pieces, but for the best in flavor and texture, fresh pineapple is what you want.
• Can I substitute the heavy whipping cream with a non-dairy alternative?Without a doubt, you can utilize coconut cream or any other non-dairy cream alternative of your choosing.
• Is there a substitute for orange juice?Using any other citrus juice, like tangerine or grapefruit juice, will change the flavor a bit.
• Can I make this recipe ahead of time?The dish is most delicious when served straight from the kitchen. But if you have to prepare it in advance, you can make it up to a few hours ahead, refrigerate it, and then finish blending just before service. The blending brings it back to the almost chilly temperature at which it’s most enjoyable. To bypass using a blender, which seems to be the more popular method, I used a food processor. Then I garnished it with a few sun-dried tomatoes.
• How can I adjust the sweetness?Sample the concoction prior to sweetening it further, and tailor it to your liking with honey or sugar.
• Is it necessary to add ice cubes?To make this a bit more precise—there are two schools of thought for incorporating ice. Ice cubes help thicken and chill the mixture, which is essential for reverse spherification; if these spheres are allowed to sit in a warm space for even a minute, they will lose their shape. However, if you prefer a softer texture and are less concerned about the spheres retaining their shape, you can skip the ice.
• How can I make it a thicker consistency?Lower the quantity of orange juice or increase the amount of ice in order to make a thicker whip.

Pineapple Orange Whip Recipe Substitutions and Variations

For fresh pineapple pieces: Use canned pineapple (drained) or mango pieces instead.
For orange juice: Substitute with pineapple juice or another citrus juice like tangerine.
For heavy whipping cream: Use either coconut cream or Greek yogurt for a lighter alternative.
If you would normally use honey or sugar, try using agave syrup or maple syrup as your sweetener alternatives.
For vanilla extract: Substitute almond extract or coconut extract for a unique flavor twist.

Pro Tips

1. Use Frozen Pineapple: For an extra refreshing and thick consistency, consider using frozen pineapple chunks instead of fresh ones. This can also eliminate the need for additional ice cubes, preventing dilution of the flavor.
