What’s Homemade Disneyland Dole Whip?
Dole Whip is a frozen whipped pineapple (similar to soft-serve ice cream) that is perfect when it is 90°F out and you have been queuing up most of the day.
I have a hit list of Disney’s favorite treats: turkey legs, Mickey Mouse ice cream bar, and caramel corn. On one trip a few years back I tried Dole Whip swirl for the first time. Little did I know this is one of Disneyland’s most popular park treats. Outside of Disneyland, Walt Disney World where you can get the dessert at Aloha Isle inside the Magic Kingdom, and the Dole plantation in Hawaii, there are only a few other places in the world where it is sold. So instead of looking for Dole Whip near you, try this Homemade Dole Whip Recipe. Dole Whip originated from a partnership between the Dole Food Company and the Walt Disney Company. It first appeared in Disneyland’s Adventureland in the late 1980s and has since become a beloved favorite among park visitors for its refreshing pineapple flavor and creamy texture.

Key Ingredients and Substitutes for Homemade Disneyland Dole Whip
Frozen pineapple The frozen pineapple serves as the base of the Dole Whip, providing its fruity flavor and creamy texture when blended. It also adds natural sweetness to the dessert without the need for additional sugar. Alternatively, mango or peach offers a similar tropical flavor profile and creamy texture when blended, while bananas offer a smoother consistency, and strawberries or raspberries provide a sweet and slightly tart flavor that can complement the tropical taste of Dole Whip with vibrant color and fruity freshness. Coconut milk Coconut milk adds creaminess and richness to the Dole Whip while enhancing its tropical flavor profile. It helps achieve the desired smooth consistency and complements the sweetness of the pineapple. Alternatively, cashew milk can achieve a smooth texture. But for those who have nut allergies or sensitivities, oat milk offers a creamy consistency and mild flavor that can work well in place of coconut milk.

How to Make Dole Whip Float?
Besides savoring this Pineapple Dole Whip recipe in bowls by spoonful, you only need 3 ingredients in total to transform it into Dole Whip Float!
To get the signature Dole Whip swirl, freeze the soft serve for 30-45 minutes and pipe it into a tall glass using a piping bag and a large star tip until it’s about two-thirds full. Slowly pour pineapple juice over the Dole Whip until the glass is almost full, allowing the juice to cascade down and mix with the Dole Whip. If desired, garnish with a pineapple slice, or maraschino cherry (or glacé cherry) on the rim of the glass.
Is Dole Whip Vegan?
Absolutely! My recipe uses dairy-free frozen desserts and it’s suitable for vegans.
How does Dole Whip taste in flavor and consistency?
The result should be creamy and sweet. Basically, you can expect the perfect summertime drink. And if it tastes a bit chunky at all, just toss the drink back in the food processor.
How can I use canned pineapple in Dole Whip?
Drain the canned pineapple, reserving the juice if desired for extra flavor or for making Dole Whip Float. Place the drained pineapple chunks or slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze the pineapple for at least 2-3 hours or until solid. Once frozen, proceed with this recipe.
