Dole Whip - the refreshingly frosty Disney-inspired pineapple soft serve - is one of my BFF Michelle's favorite things. A few years back, I decided to make some for her birthday. Unfortunately, all of the Dole Whip copycat recipes I found required fresh pineapple, and the fresh pineapple sold outside of Hawaii seems to be much more acidic than that sold in Oahu (and likely the other islands as well, based on what I've been told). Like many people, Michelle doesn't do so well with very acidic foods, so I decided to try shake things up a bit and use pineapple juice instead.
Dole Whip, as you probably know, is tasty collab between Dole and Disney; first introduced in 1986 at the Tiki Bar outside Disneyland's Enchanted Tiki Room. Originally dairy-based, the Dole Whip now served on Disney properties is made with a dairy alternative and is certified vegan. (Note that our recipe, which contains real cream, for Dole Whip is much closer to the original in both flavor and consistency!)
The end-product of this pineapple soft serve recipe tastes a little creamier and a bit less tart than the official Dole Whip, but it is nevertheless deliciously refreshing. If you prefer a harder, more traditional-style ice cream, just pop it into the freezer for a few hours before serving. Enjoy!

Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix pineapple juice and sugar together until sugar has dissolved. (You can do this by hand, but I prefer to mix it all in a blender: doing so seems to result an airer, lighter ice cream.)
- Add vanilla and heavy cream.
- Pour mixture into a prepared ice cream maker and follow directions.
- When ice cream is ready, you can serve it immediately, or put it in the fridge and allow it to set up.
Notes
This recipe fits my 2-quart ice cream maker perfectly; however, if you have a larger ice cream maker, simply adjust the amounts accordingly.
1 Serving = ½ cup
