Dole whip is a coveted frozen Disney World treat. It's cool, refreshing, and full of tropical flavor. It's basically a pineapple soft serve, and it is irresistible!
While you may have spooned it while visiting your favorite amusement park, you can also make a version right at home in your blender. It's only four ingredients and blends together in less than two minutes. The perfect treat for a hot day, or a cold cold day when you're dreaming of summer weather. There are tons of variations for you to try out, perfect for kids and grownups alike.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice (or orange juice)
- 1/3 cup coconut milk
- 3 cups frozen pineapple
- 1 cup vanilla ice cream
Steps to Make It
-
Gather your ingredients.
Leah Maroney -
Put the juice, coconut milk, pineapple then ice cream into your blender.
Leah Maroney -
Blend on high until completely blended, smooth and creamy, adding a little more juice to help it blend, if needed. It's typically very thick, so you will need to stop and scrape down the sides.
Leah Maroney -
Spoon the mixture into glasses or ice cream cups and serve. If you're feeling fancy, place the mixture into a piping bag with a star tip. Pipe it into the cups, add a little fresh pineapple garnish, and dig in.
Variations
There are so many for this delicious treat.
Dole Whip Float: Serve the dole whip over a glass of pineapple juice or pineapple soda.
Dairy Free Dole Whip: The classic Dole Whip is dairy free. You can omit the vanilla ice cream and just add in a little more coconut milk. Use any coconut milk you like..from the can or from a carton. You can also use the "lite" variety to cut down on the fat.
- If you find a deliciously fresh pineapple in the grocery store you can chop it up at home and freeze it. After a couple of hours in the freezer, you can blend away. Often, a fresh pineapple will have more flavor than the frozen or canned type.
- You can use pineapple or orange juice in this recipe. Both taste delicious. The pineapple will obviously give a stronger pineapple flavor.
Boozy Dole Whip: Blend a shot of white rum or a shot of tequila to each. Or just blend in a 1/2 cup of either to your blender.
Pina Colada Dole Whip: Add 1/2 cup of coconut rum for a delicious pina colada flavor.
Dole Whip Margarita: Add in a 1/2 cup of tequila, 1/4 cup of triple sec, and 2 tablespoons of lime juice. Leave out the vanilla ice cream and blend away!
