Ingredients for a Disney Dole Whip copycat recipe

Frozen pineapple chunks
Pineapple juice
Vanilla ice cream

Substitutions

Don't have vanilla ice cream? Try making this creamy treat with Cool Whip instead.
If you're not a fan of pineapple, feel free to make this with your own favorite fruit. Mango, orange, and strawberry are all delicious options.
Adding a frozen banana will give the Dole Whip a creamier texture and more tropical flavor. I would start with just half a banana, just to be sure the banana flavor doesn't overpower the pineapple.
Want to enjoy a Dole Whip Float? Add a scoop of the mixture to a glass half-filled with pineapple soda or pineapple juice.
Make this recipe both dairy-free and vegan-friendly by substituting unsweetened, canned coconut milk, coconut cream, or almond milk for vanilla ice cream. Then add some sweetener (like sugar or honey) to increase the sweetness factor.

How to make a Pineapple Dole Whip

Step 1: Combine frozen pineapples, pineapple juice, and vanilla ice cream in a blender or food processor.

Step 2: Blend all of the ingredients until smooth, then spoon in into glasses, cups, or bowls. Enjoy!

Storage Instructions

Transfer any leftovers to a freezer-safe Ziploc bag and freeze for up to a week. Before serving, let the frozen contents thaw slightly, then transfer them to a blender. If necessary, add just enough water, juice, or even milk to help it regain its creamy consistency.

Frequently asked questions:

Should I use fresh or canned pineapple?

You can use either one. Just be sure to chop fresh pineapple into chunks and freeze for a few hours before adding them to the blender. Starting with frozen pineapple is what gives you that frosty touch.

Can these be made with alcohol?

They sure can! Give your drinks an alcoholic twist by adding vodka or rum to make a boozy grownup version. Malibu rum tastes great in these too.
