Description

This recipe recreates the iconic Disney Pineapple Dole Whip, a refreshing and tangy pineapple soft serve dessert. Made with fresh pineapple, pineapple juice, citrus juices, vanilla ice cream, and a simple syrup to enhance the tropical flavors, this treat is churned to creamy perfection and served with a smooth pineapple syrup drizzle. Perfect for a summer dessert or a fun Disney-inspired snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Dole Whip Syrup & Ice Cream

  • 1 quart vanilla ice cream
  • 2 limes, juiced
  • 2 lemons, juiced
  • 1 can pineapple juice (6 oz)
  • 2 cups fresh pineapple, cut into chunks
  • 1 tablespoon simple syrup (for blending)

Simple Syrup

  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

  1. Make Simple Syrup: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1/4 cup sugar and 1/4 cup water. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar fully dissolves. Remove from heat and transfer to a heat-safe bowl. Place the bowl in the freezer to cool while you prepare the rest of the recipe.
  2. Prepare Pineapple Mixture: In a blender or food processor, combine pineapple juice, fresh pineapple chunks, juice of 1 lemon and 1 lime, and 1 tablespoon of the cooled simple syrup. Blend until smooth. Taste the mixture and adjust by adding the remaining lemon and lime juice or simple syrup as needed to achieve a balanced, tart sweetness typical of Dole Whip.
  3. Reserve Syrup: Once the pineapple mixture is perfected, set aside half of it for use as syrup later. Pour this reserved portion through a fine sieve to remove pulp, resulting in a smooth pineapple syrup for topping.
  4. Blend Ice Cream: Add scoops of vanilla ice cream to the remaining pineapple mixture in the blender or food processor. Blend until the mixture is fully liquified and smooth, combining the tropical flavors with creamy ice cream.
  5. Churn Ice Cream: Pour the blended mixture into an ice cream maker. Churn for 15-20 minutes or until the soft serve texture is achieved, creamy and slightly thickened.
  6. Assemble and Serve: Transfer the churned ice cream into a piping bag. Pipe the ice cream into serving cups, layering it with the reserved smooth pineapple syrup between layers. Finish each cup with a spoonful of the pineapple syrup on top. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh, creamy, and tangy Dole Whip experience.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of citrus juice and simple syrup to match your taste preference for tartness or sweetness.
  • If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can place the blended mixture in a freezer-safe container and stir every 30 minutes until firm.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute vanilla ice cream with a coconut or other plant-based ice cream.
  • Use fresh pineapple for the best natural flavor and texture.
  • This recipe works best served immediately after churning to maintain the soft serve consistency.
