Dole Whip is one of those iconic treats found at both Walt Disney World and Disneyland. It is a cult classic that can come in many flavors, usually fruit, but what you see the most is pinapple flavor. Whether you like it as a float, upside down pineapple cake, just plain whip, or boozy, this is the recipe for you!
Did you know? The “real” Dole whip is prepared with a premade powder and water mixture. This recipe can be made at home without purchasing the mix, and tastes just like the original! It is from The Unofficial Disney Parks Cookbook. You do have to have an ice cream machine to make this recipe. You can find them fairly inexpensive on Amazon.
