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!

Jules Ming says
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
