DOLE PINEAPPLE WHIP

Sweet, creamy, and made with real ingredients, this spot-on Disney Dole Whip copycat is the perfect touch of pineapple-flavored magic for any hot summer day.

If you’re not familiar with Dole Whip, it’s a dairy-free pineapple sorbet with the consistency of soft-serve ice cream. It’s amazingly delicious! It’s also pretty difficult to come by, unless you’re visiting Disneyland or the Dole Plantation in Hawaii. (Though, I hear they are going to be offering it at other locations, too!)

Dole Whip is a coveted frozen Disney World treat. It’s cool, refreshing, and full of tropical flavor. It’s basically a pineapple soft serve, and it is irresistible!

While you may have spooned it while visiting your favorite amusement park, you can also make a version right at home in your blender. It’s only four ingredients and blends together in less than two minutes. The perfect treat for a hot day, or a cold day when you’re dreaming of summer weather. There are tons of variations for you to try out, perfect for kids and grownups alike.
