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!

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!

I’ve wanted one of these since you first mentioned it to me! I think ice cream is going to be the FIRST thing I’d make with this since we’re sooo close to summer. But the list for its uses is a long one!

Amanda @ Dwelling in Happiness says
Ok, that Dole Whip looks AMAZING! I think THAT would be the first think I make if I had a Blendtec!! Thanks for the great giveaway, Sydney! š
Pam A says
I’d start with a berry smoothie
Shannon @ Dinner from the Heart says
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. š
Emily @ Table & Hearth says
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 š I’ve never been to Disneyland or heard of these whips but man, this might have to be the second thing we make!
Danica says
I am definitely going to make dole whips first, with the blendtec! I love them at Disnelyand!

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.
AlexisB says
I would make some nut butters and nut milks! I hope I win! I could really use this!
