Storage and Serving Tips

Serve Immediately: Pineapple Dole Whip is best enjoyed fresh from the blender when it’s at its creamiest and coldest. Serve it in cups, or go all out with your presentation and use a pineapple half as a fun bowl!

Freezer-Friendly: If you want to save some for later, store it in the freezer. Just let it thaw for about 20 minutes on the counter before scooping and serving to ensure it softens to that perfectly creamy texture.

Fun Fact: The Dole Whip Origin

Did you know the original Dole Whip first made its appearance at Disneyland in the 1980s? This frozen dessert quickly became a fan-favorite and has held a special place in the hearts of Disney-goers ever since. It’s a beloved must-have treat found near the iconic Tiki Room!

Cooking Tips:

Use Quality Ingredients: Make sure to use good quality frozen pineapple chunks and vanilla ice cream to achieve that authentic Disney flavor. The creamier the ice cream, the smoother your whip will be!

Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer a more tart treat, use less pineapple juice. Or, for a sweeter version, you can add a touch of honey or agave syrup to the mix.

Extra Pineapple Punch: Want even more pineapple flavor? Try adding a splash of pineapple extract or a bit more frozen pineapple chunks for extra zing.

Optional Variations:

Dairy-Free Delight: Swap the vanilla ice cream for dairy-free coconut ice cream to make a vegan-friendly version of this Dole Whip. The subtle coconut flavor will blend perfectly with the tropical pineapple taste!

Citrus Dream: Add a squeeze of lime juice for a refreshing citrus twist that’ll give your whip a zesty kick.

Tropical Explosion: Add some frozen mango or passionfruit to the mix for a fruity variation that’ll take this treat to the next level.

Disney’s Pineapple Dole Whip (Copycat Recipe)

Ingredients:

• 2 large (not level) cups frozen pineapple chunks
• 1 cup vanilla ice cream
• ½ cup pineapple juice

Instructions:

1. Blend the ingredients: In a high-quality blender or food processor, combine the frozen pineapple chunks, vanilla ice cream, and half of the pineapple juice. Start blending on low speed, gradually increasing the speed as everything starts to come together. If needed, slowly add more pineapple juice to achieve the desired creamy consistency.
2. Check consistency: Stop blending once you’ve achieved a smooth, creamy mixture with the perfect consistency for soft serve. You can add more pineapple juice if it’s too thick or blend for longer if it’s not smooth enough.
3. Serve immediately: Scoop your homemade Pineapple Dole Whip into serving cups or bowls and enjoy right away! If you want the authentic experience, try piping it into a swirl using a pastry bag for that signature soft-serve look.
4. Store any leftovers: If you have leftovers (although we doubt you will!), store them in the freezer. When ready to enjoy, let it thaw on the counter for about 20 minutes before scooping and serving.
