Homemade dole whip is a tropical dessert best enjoyed on a hot summer’s day. Learn how to make your own, using a simple, 3 -ingredient vegan recipe.

Dole Whip is a pineapple-flavored soft-serve ice cream, which was originally invented by the Dole fruit company. However, after being served at Disneyland’s Tiki Bar, it became a popular treat. Now, you can find it being served throughout Disneyland and Disney World parks.

Disney recently switched its Dole Whip recipe to be vegan-friendly, using a non-dairy creamer instead of ice cream, but it still includes added sugars, flavors, and colorings. That’s where a homemade Dole Whip comes in – learn how to make a simple vegan version of this delicious summer treat.

Making vegan homemade Dole Whip is incredibly simple, and it only requires 3 ingredients! Here’s how to do it:

Ingredients

  • 2¼ cups frozen pineapple chunks
  • 1¼ cup homemade oat milk
  • 1 tbsp organic maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Add the ingredients to a high-speed blender or food processor, and blitz until a smooth, creamy texture is achieved.
  2. Serve as is, or add to a piping bag in order to achieve the iconic Dole Whip look.

Tip: Freeze any leftovers in an ice cube tray, so you can add pineapple cubes to smoothies later.

Pineapple Sustainability

Pineapple is a tropical fruit that is indigenous to South America. Most pineapples available in the United States come from Costa Rica, despite Hawaii being commonly associated with the sweet, yellow fruit. Much like bananas, many pineapples are exported by multinational fruit companies, using the same CO2 intensive transportation and distribution networks as other problematic fruits and vegetables. They are also commonly grown in large monocultures, which require a lot of pesticides to maintain. In order to ensure you enjoy the most sustainable version of a homemade Dole Whip, be sure to look for organic pineapples.
