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!

I would love to try the Dole Whip! I always see them in blogs, but have never tried one. Though the first thing I would make in a BlendTec is probably my morning green smoothie!

Well we just found out last week that my son has some medical conditions that prevent him from absorbing nutrients correctly along with growth hormone issues so I would make him a huge shake full of the nutrients that his little body needs to grow strong!!! Thank you for the opportunity! I will probably sneak in some yummies for myself also

The first thing I would make with my blendtec, if I were chosen, would be some full-fat high-calorie smoothie blends for my g-tube fed 3 year old. She was born with a life threatening congenital diaphragmatic hernia and we are desperate to help her wean from tube feeds to oral feeds. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
