Coconut Pineapple Kefir Soda Float
This recipe is my homemade take on the famous Dole Whip float from Disney World—one of my all-time favorite treats! 🍍✨ I wanted to bring that tropical magic into my kitchen, with less sugar, and this version does just that. The fizzy kefir soda is so simple to make with pineapple juice and coconut water—light, bubbly, and full of probiotics. 🍹 The creamy soft-serve is a dreamy blend of fresh pineapple, yogurt, and coconut milk, and it turns out beautifully in the Ninja Creami (I just got the new soft-serve model—so fun!). 🍦 But don’t worry, a regular ice cream maker works just as well. Even if you only make the kefir soda, you’ll still be swept away by the bright tropical flavors. 🌺

Instructions
- Add the Kefir Soda Starter packet OR kefir whey to your juice and stir till dissolved.
- Add your coconut and pineapple juice to a 32-oz bottle. Using a funnel helps. Ensure you use bottles are made for brewing. Bottles bought at craft stores can explode.
- Fill the rest of the bottle with water leaving an inch of room at the top.
- Allow it to ferment for 2-7 days or until bubbly and fizzy. If your home is 75°F or warmer it will usually take a couple of days. Colder homes can take 5 days or longer, but you'll need to check it by popping the top and see if it's getting fizzy. It will start to bubble out the top if it does.
- When it's done, you can pour it into a glass and enjoy right away or place it in the fridge. Keep it stored in the fridge, otherwise it will continue to ferment and get overly fizzy and hard to pour. Burp daily & consume within 1-2 weeks for the most benefits and the best flavor.
- You can use ½ cup of this finished kefir soda as a starter to make a new bottle.Add the other ingredients and ferment again. It should only take a half to a full day to ferment. It ferments faster on subsequent batches and you can make many bottles over and over again!Â
- Add in your ice cream to the soda, and do it slowly: it will fizz up and bubble out of the glass. Enjoy immediately.
