If you’re not familiar with Dole Whip, it’s a dairy-free pineapple sorbet, with the consistency of soft-serve ice cream. It’s amazingly delicious! It’s also pretty difficult to come by, unless you’re visiting Disneyland or the Dole Plantation in Hawaii. (Though, I hear they are going to be offering it at other locations, too!)

What is Dole Whip Made Of?

The Dole whip you can buy at Disneyland is made with sugar, coconut oil, natural and artificial flavors (including pineapple juice), and lots of stabilizers. This allows it be mixed with water and come out of a soft serve machine, but it’s not exactly something you want to replicate at home.

Is Dole Whip Vegan?

Dole Whip is dairy-free and vegan, which is probably one of the reasons it’s so popular. Even with dietary restrictions, most family members can enjoy it!

How To Make Dole Whip at Home

Calling for just three ingredients, this homemade Dole Whip couldn’t be easier to prepare. It doesn’t have the exact same texture as the original, but you can pipe it into a glass for a similar effect! Plus, you’ll avoid the long wait line at Disneyland.

Combine the frozen pineapple with the almond milk and honey, then blend until a frozen sorbet texture is achieved. (My kids also love it when I make this with orange juice instead of the milk and honey– no extra sweetener is needed when you use the OJ.)

For an authentic Dole Whip presentation, transfer the frozen dessert to a large plastic bag, and cut off the tip to create a piping bag. Pipe the pineapple whip into 4-6 dishes, and serve immediately!

Any leftovers can be frozen in an ice cube tray, and used in smoothies later.

  1. I cant believe you just posted this!!! I was looking at the original recipe yesterday and saying I cant make it because I cant let my daughter eat all of those things. We are trying to do a more “from the ground” diet. Less processed. Well this is PERFECT! You rock thank you so much for this!

    1. coud you please tell me the original pineapple whip recipe or where to get it? and how do you get it pink like the ones in. springfield

      1. I have a feeling that Dole keeps their original recipe “top secret.” But perhaps you could find the ingredient list somewhere and experiment with it yourself? I’ve never seen a pink version before!

  2. Oh, my gosh! I’m so happy you found a way to make your own!
    I live in FL and we go to Disney World all the time. They sell the exact same Dole Whip here too. I would always get it, before I became real health conscious. I remember when I asked the manager what the ingredients were, she said that it was lactose-free but not diary-free, since they use dry milk packets. I wonder if they make it different where your at.

  3. Add a little sun warrior protein to it and it won’t impact blood sugar either! Omg, looks so incredibly good.

    1. Adding protein may mitigate the effect on blood sugar, but it’s irresponsible to suggest that it absolutely won’t impact it, especially given the amount of sugar in pineapple.

  4. i’ve had the pineapple soft serve at both disney & the dole pineapple plantation and continuously crave it. can’t wait to try this!

    1. Aldi’s has a toasted coconut and vanilla greek yogurt that I use in smoothies. Might be good in this.

  5. I LOVE this recipe. Every summer in Springfield MO, where I am from, 3-4 pineapple whip stands pop all over the city. It is a “Springfield” thing. Little stands with girls with Hula skirts on top. Such a good memory. I bet you version is healthier and I don’t have to wait until summer. 🙂 THANKS!!!

      1. I lived in Sprinfield, MO for 6 years 2003 to 2009 (and Waynesville before that. since I was in HS lol) now I live in Seattle!

    1. I’m also from Springfield, but in Kansas City now. I miss the Pineapple Whip stands. (Not to mention the cashew chicken!) One can NEVER have enough! I must try this recipe 🙂

    2. Actually, Pineapple Whip is all natural ingredients. I still live in Springfield and for the first time, they opened for one weekend in the winter last week. I stood in line for an hour for a treat for my daughter after Honor Band. 🙂 Totally worth it but happy to see this recipe so i can make it myself.

  6. I’m new to your site, but in love with your diet and recipes. I an graduating from IIN this week. My husband and kids call you a God-sent for the recipes I’ve made for them. The weirdest part, I was googling a dairy free recipe for Pineapple whip, your page came up, and I saw you posted it today! Crazy! I can’t wait to make it for dessert tonight. I may try coconut milk instead, because i think it might be creamier. I just had to write you about the syncronicity (IO also just listened to my Deepak lesson) and tell you I’m grateful for you.
