Dole Whip Recipe – 3 Ingredients!

One of the best things about visiting Disney are all of the delicious treats from Disney caramel apples to Mickey Mouse beignets! I never miss a chance to enjoy a Dole Whip, too, while I’m there. It has the best pineapple flavor and is creamy and smooth like a pineapple smoothie, but with ice cream.

My kids were craving the famous Dole pineapple whip, so we made this easy 3-ingredient copycat at home. It tastes just like the original soft serve at Disneyland plus no ice cream maker needed, just a blender!

What is a Dole Whip?

Dole Whip was originally founded by Dole Food Company, which is known for their fresh fruit (one of the major items being pineapples). They used their beloved pineapple products to create a creamy soft serve ice cream that would eventually be served at Disneyland. Recently, Disney released the recipe and it’s so easy make homemade Dole Whip right in your own kitchen and feel like you are at the happiest place on Earth!

Dole Whip Ingredients

With only 3 ingredients, pineapple Dole whip is so easy to make!

• Pineapple juice: 100% pineapple juice not from concentrate.
• Frozen pineapple: I like to buy a bag of frozen pineapple chunks, but you can freeze your own pineapple chunks if you like.
• Vanilla ice cream: I used store-bought vanilla ice cream but my homemade vanilla ice cream would also be delicious.

Tips for Success

• Frozen pineapple. Make sure it’s frozen, not fresh. A well drained can that has been frozen may work, but texture might be different. Frozen pineapple contributes to the creamy and thick consistency.
• Add juice first. Pouring the juice in before adding the ice cream and frozen pineapple makes the mixture easier to blend (and is more gentle on your blender).
• Adjust consistency. After blending everything together, give the consistency a test. To thicken it up a bit, add in more ice cream. Or to thin it out, pour in more juice.
• Piping the Dole Whip. To give it that famous soft serve swirl, transfer the mixture into a large zip top bag and then cut off 1/2″ of the corner tip. Then pipe the dessert into a cup. This also works with a large star tip and piping bag.
• Serve immediately. After the mixture is blended, serve the dessert immediately for best results. You don’t want it to melt! If you aren’t quite ready to enjoy it, you may also freeze the mixture until serving (check out the storage instructions below).

Variations

Pineapple Dole Whip isn’t the only flavor available at Disney. Get creative with the type of fruit you use!

• To make this a dairy free vegan treat all you need to do is swap out the ice cream for coconut milk or your favorite non dairy frozen ice cream.
• Add strawberries (or other fruit of choice) to make strawberry Dole Whip.
• Mix in a few spoonful’s of sugar to make it even sweeter.
• Serve in a cup or bowl as a float layered with pineapple juice, Dole Whip, whipped cream and a maraschino cherry.

Storing

If you don’t have plans on immediately enjoying the Dole Whip, then you can transfer it to an airtight container and store in the fridge for a few hours. It will harden up a little, so you may need to leave it out on the counter for a few minutes to soften before serving. Then either use an ice cream scoop or a piping bag to pipe the dessert into a cup.
