Disney Dole Whip (Copycat Recipe) Recipe
Introduction
Dole Whip is a refreshing pineapple soft serve famously enjoyed at Disney parks. This easy copycat recipe lets you recreate the tropical treat at home with just a few simple ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 big scoop of ice cream
- 4 ounces pineapple juice
- 2 cups frozen pineapple
Instructions
- Step 1: Add the ice cream, pineapple juice, and frozen pineapple to a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and icy.
- Step 2: Transfer the blended mixture into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip, or use a ziplock bag with one corner cut off. Pipe the mixture into a cup, swirling to create the classic soft serve shape.
Tips & Variations
- Use vanilla or coconut ice cream for a creamier texture and subtle flavor variations.
- Add a splash of lime juice for a tangy brightness.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute ice cream with coconut milk ice cream or frozen banana.
Storage
Because this treat is best enjoyed fresh, it’s recommended to consume it immediately after preparation. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 day. Re-blend briefly before serving to regain the soft serve texture.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I make Dole Whip without a piping bag?
Yes, you can serve the blended mixture directly in a cup or bowl with a spoon, though it won’t have the characteristic swirl shape.
Is frozen pineapple better than fresh for this recipe?
Frozen pineapple helps achieve the creamy, icy texture typical of Dole Whip and keeps the mixture cold without watering it down, making it the preferred choice.
