These smooth and creamy Dole Whips will bring back memories of your favorite treat at Disney.
If you’ve ever been to Disneyland there’s a pretty good chance that you’ve had their famous Dole Whip. Making a stop at Tiki’s Juice Bar is one of the first stops of many when they walk through those magical gates. I love the smooth, creaminess of Dole Whips and could eat them everyday; unfortunately I live about 11 hours from Disneyland and even if I did live closer I couldn’t justify going to Disney every time this tropical craving struck.
So in true frugal fashion I scoured the internet (a.k.a. Pinterest) for recipes. To get the look of the Dole Whip I would need an ice cream maker; and I didn’t have that, so I knew making a true copy cat recipe was out of the question. But what I did have was my favorite kitchen appliance, my Blendtec! I also didn’t have a lot of time. Most recipes called for letting the whip sit for a few hours in the freezer, which you can do with this recipe too if you want more of a slush-y texture. We ate ours straight out of the blender, well we poured it in to glasses first, and they were perfect. Smooth, creamy and packed full of pineapple goodnes; just how I remember the original Dole Whip being. So if you have a craving for this Disney classic, don’t run to Disneyland (ok well if you can, do go to Disneyland and ride Pirates for me while you’re there), just head into your kitchen!
Copy Cat Dole Whip
Ingredients
Whipped Cream
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 Tbsp powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
Whip
- 1 20 oz can crushed pineapple
- 3/4 cup pineapple juice
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp lime juice
Instructions
Whipped Cream
- Place all 3 ingredients in Twister Jar and blend on low for 30-40 seconds, twisting the lid counter clockwise until desired consistency is reached.
Whip
- Place crushed pineapple, whipped cream, pineapple juice, lemon juice and lime juice in blender jar. If your blender has an ice cream button blend on ice cream, if not blend on low for 20 seconds and then high for 20 seconds.
- Top with whip cream from a can and maraschino cherry (optional)
Notes
I couldn’t have made this without my Blendtec, especially the Whipped Cream, which is my new favorite recipe, and because I was super busy last month for my one year blogiversary I decided to celebrate my 13 month blogiversary by giving one lucky reader my favorite-ist of favorite things; a Blendtec! One of you is going win the Designer 725 Blendtec with Wildside+ jar AND Twister Jar. I use my Blendtec at least 3 times a week and I can’t wait for you to see how great it is too! So enter through the Rafflecopter below and I can’t wait to see what you create!
a Rafflecopter giveaway
Check out these other recipes I made using my Blendtec to get more inspiration:
Green Velvet Cupcakes with Whipped Cream Frosting
No Bake Key Lime Pie
Creamy Tomato Basil Soup
I am kind of obsessed with blender foods! If I had a Blendtec, I would probably end up making most of my food in it each week, especially cold soups like Gazpacho, fantastic smoothies each morning, and I would start grinding my own flours and fresh spice blends. In short, it would be heaven on earth!
These Dole Whips look like a good first choice!

Sydney you are such an awesome blogger! I learn so much from you. I would make smoothies and sauces and soups and so much goodness with my Blendtec if I win. I hope I do! Have a great day!
My girls love to have smoothies for after school snacks. While they are doing their homework, I mix up some juice, fruits (and veggies), with some almonds. The extra protein seems to give them a boost of energy (without the added sugar). This would be a great blender to use!

I’d start with a berry smoothie
I’m pretty sure a Blendtec would get daily use at our house. We have the original Ktec and it’s still going strong after 25+ years.
But, a protein shake would be the first thing – and then your tomato basil soup looks wonderful, that might have to be second. 🙂

Happy blogiversary!! I’m having my first year’s this week too! This is an awesome giveaway, my husband makes the best chocolate malts so that’d probably be the first thing in it 🙂 I’ve never been to Disneyland or heard of these whips but man, this might have to be the second thing we make!

Danica recently posted…5 Ways to Encourage Healthy Habits Among Toddlers
My husband and I are trying to lose weight and just went paleo. So I would try to find a way to make the dole whip paleo friendly. I only have a hand blender stick thing and it is garbage. My green ‘smoothies’ are more like chunky – stringy – lumpy drinks so I would have to make one too. Then I would make the frozen banana blended with cocoa powder and strawberries that I have heard tastes amazingly like ice cream. Amazingly generous giveaway. Thank you.
I would make some nut butters and nut milks! I hope I win! I could really use this!
The possibilities of what I may make first are endless….
First would be a smoothie for me! Then bring out the cookbooks and see what’s next!
Love my Blendtec! Even when I traveled across the U.S. temporarily, I HAD to bring it.

This recipe looks scrumptious! I would make this first!
Oh man, I would literally use this at least 3 times a day! My kids have been placed on a special diet to heal their gut (for the next 3 years) and so I have to make all meals & snacks from scratch everyday. Even our condiments & nut butters have to be made from home. Zero packaged foods! It’s been a struggle and I don’t know if my poor blender can handle too many more smoothies needed to hide the special oils they need. I’ve been eyeing the blendtec for so long! <3

A drink sounds like a good idea, but one of those green ones with parsley and such that you just can’t make in my old, sad, weak conventional blender!
I am going to make my classic green smoothie that I eat every day – spinach, banana, frozen fruit, chia seeds, greens powder, maca powder, a splash of OJ, and coconut water!!!
A smoothie! With frozen berries!

If I got paid to have my kids sell the blendtec blender I might be able to afford one!!
