Pineapple Dole Whip Recipe
pin-it

The famous Disney Dole Whip

The original Dole Whip recipe is a swirled pineapple soft serve dessert that tastes like a cross between pineapple frozen yogurt and creamy vanilla ice cream.

It enjoys somewhat of a cult following, often with long lines of up to an hour at locations where it is served.

There’s even an app to tell hungry tourists how long they can expect to wait.

This classic frozen treat is only available at a few select locations, the most famous being EPCOT and Aloha Island near the Tiki Room in Disney’s Magic Kingdom.

As it is so difficult to come by, I’ve only tried the real thing a few times in my life.

Based on these memories of a chilled, smooth, fresh pineapple confection with a slight lemon tang, I’ve come up with my own Disney copycat Dole Whip recipe that you can whip up in your very own kitchen. It only takes five minutes to make!

Dole pineapple whip ingredients

Here’s what you need: frozen pineapple, milk of choice, your go-to sweetener, a tiny pinch of salt, and a tablespoon of lemon juice. That’s it!

There’s no Cool Whip, no pineapple juice, and no condensed milk in these homemade Dole Whip ingredients.

You can use either chopped fresh or canned pineapple. Just be sure to drain the can of pineapple fully. Freeze the pineapple before blending.

For a dairy free and vegan Dole Whip, opt for a plant based milk, such as almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk, or use nondairy creamer or coconut cream.

My favorite way to make pineapple Dole Whip is with canned coconut milk, because it will yield the thickest, creamiest results and make you feel like you are in Hawaii! Feel free to use whatever milk you wish.

The sweetener of choice can be regular sugar, date sugar, pure maple syrup, honey, or pretty much any neutral all purpose sweetener. If you want to make added sugar free Dole Whip, options that work include erythritol, xylitol, or stevia.

Fresh Pineapple

Where to find the dessert

You can find original soft serve Dole Whip at Disney theme parks, including the refreshment outpost at EPCOT, the snack shack in Typhoon Lagoon Water Park, and at Aloha Island in the Magic Kingdom.

The nondairy pineapple dessert is also available at the Dole Pineapple Plantation, which began as a fruit stand in 1950, on Oahu in Hawaii.

Apparently the demand for Dole Whips is so great that they’ve begun to sell cones and floats at Six Flags Hurricane Harbor amusement parks.

Some restaurants, ice cream shops, and other places outside of Disneyland and Disney World around the United States sell Dole pineapple whip now too.

And starting in April of 2023, packaged Dole Whip is available to purchase in the grocery store freezer aisle. Flavors include pineapple, strawberry, and mango.

Vegan Pineapple Whip

Vegan Dole Whip recipe

Surprisingly, the beloved Disney dessert is vegan. They reformulated the recipe a few years ago, and the pineapple, mango, strawberry, raspberry, watermelon and orange flavors are all gluten free, trans fat free, and vegan.

This homemade version can also easily be made vegan if you use your favorite dairy free milk. For a low fat and low calorie option, try almond milk.

There are naturally no eggs in the recipe.

Next on my list of Disney recipes to recreate at home is their cinnamon sugar churros. Do not be surprised if you see a recipe for them here someday soon!

How To Make Homemade Dole Whip

How to make pineapple Dole Whip

Start by gathering all of your ingredients. Make sure the pineapple is frozen before proceeding with the recipe.

Throw all of the ingredients into a blender or food processor, and blend until smooth.

Scoop out with an ice cream scoop. Or transfer the whipped mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a star tip, and squeeze or pipe out to create a beautiful swirled result.

For swirly soft serve that holds its shape longer, freeze at least twenty minutes prior to serving. The recipe makes around two or three servings.

If you have any leftovers, store them in the freezer in an airtight container for up to three months. Thaw before serving.

    I would highly suggest adding a 1/4 tsp vanilla extract, it was so good! I read a lot of recipes with vanilla ice cream so I thought that’d be a good addition!

    My favorite memory of my trips to Hawaii were Dole Whip. We could buy it in pineapple or orange flavor at street stands in plenty of places on Oahu.

    I made this last evening and my frozen pineapple was not rock solid, so it was mushy. Second try this morning, the pineapple color really came through. I used coconut milk, which was too strong in the final product (I don’t care for the flavor). Next time, I’ll try soy or almond milk.

    Thanks for this recipe! Brings back fun memories.

    It’s 45 degrees here but the kids were craving Dole Whip. This hit the spot and was easy to make, thank you for the recipe!

    Just made this after trying a different recipe that didn’t turn out so well. This one is *perfect*, and I even tried it out with dragonfruit (it’s a bit sweeter, but still good) as well as the original pineapple. Looking forward to seeing how many different fruit this recipe works with. I’ve never had the disney original, so I can’t compare, but I can tell you adding a splash of coconut rum is really good.

    Just made this with fresh frozen peaches and it’s just as delicious as the pineapple whip! Next up… blueberries and raspberries I just popped in the freezer to use up the whole can of coconut milk 😋
