Is a Dole Whip one of your favorite Disney treats? You can bring your favorite Dole Whip home with you! You only need THREE ingredients to make this classic treat at home. This recipe shows you how to make the copycat soft serve Dole Whip Recipe, a Dole Whip Float and a Boozy Dole Whip!
Disney Dole Whip Copycat AT HOME
Want to know something funny? I never had a Pineapple Dole Whip until about 2 years ago! I’d heard about them sure, and I’d always longed to try one, but the lines were always so long. Now that Disney theme parks offer mobile ordering, it’s much easier to get one when you’re there.
Recently Disney released their official Dole Whip Recipe so I had to share it with you – with my own favorite modifications. You don’t need any special mixes or fancy ingredients to make a homemade Dole Whip – just a blender and three easy ingredients!
- The classic pineapple Dole Whip recipe
- Dole Whip Floats – my favorite way to order!
- Boozy Dole Whip with Rum – a classic tropical co*cktail that’s better than a piña colada!
3 Ingredient Pineapple Whips
- Vanilla Ice Cream: use your favorite brand
- Frozen Pineapple: slice your own and freeze it or use frozen from the store
- Pineapple Juice: I love buying the small cans of Dole pineapple juice to keep on hand.
How to make a Dole Whip
- The regular Dole Whip is soft serve pineapple ice cream, and for that you need a blender (or you can use a food processor).
- Just add all your ingredients to your blender and blend until smooth.
- You can just scoop it into a glass, but if you want the tell-tale soft serve Dole Whip “look” then you need a piping bag and a star (1M) tip to get that swirl.
Dole Whip Float
My favorite way to order this at Disneyland is to get a float. I just like the combination of juice and ice cream (like a root beer float).
To make a Dole Whip Float at home, you just add your soft serve to a tall glass and pour the rest of your pineapple juice over it, like you’re making a float. I also love topping it with a cherry!
Boozy Dole Whip
Making these at home means that you can add booze! I’ve heard that in Disney World and on Disney cruises you can get a dole whip with rum, so now we’re making that at home!
To add booze, just add a shot of rum when you’re blending your co*cktail, like when you make a Pina Colada. Done!
Tip From Dorothy
Expert Tips
- Powerful Blender Needed: the basic dole whip recipe doesn’t have a lot of liquid, so be sure to use a powerful blender. Alternately, use a food processor.
- For the swirl, use a piping bag and an open star tip (Wilton 1M) to pipe into your glass.
- Variations: use any flavor ice cream or even sorbet or any frozen fruit. You can make a raspberry dole whip by using frozen raspberries, etc.
FAQ
Do I need an ice cream maker to make a dole whip?
No you don’t – just a blender or food processor.
How to serve a dole whip
Serve in a cup like soft serve, or add juice to make a float.
Are dole whips vegan?
The dole whips you get at Disney are vegan and gluten free. This recipe as written isn’t, but you can make it vegan. Ditch the ice cream and chill a can of coconut milk overnight. Discard the coconut water and just use the thick coconut mixture in the can. Reduce the amount of juice (start with no juice and add more as needed for consistency).
How to store leftover Dole Whip
This makes about 2 servings, but if you want to store it, put it in the freezer in an airtight container.
