A creamy, tropical soft-serve inspired by the famous treat from Dole Food Company and popularized at Disneyland. This homemade version is smooth, refreshing, and incredibly simple — just a few ingredients and a blender.

Since you often like better-for-you swaps, I’ll include a naturally sweetened option too.

📝 Ingredients (Classic Version – 2–3 servings)

3 cups frozen pineapple chunks

½ cup vanilla ice cream
¼ cup pineapple juice
2–4 tablespoons milk (as needed for blending)

📝 Healthier Option (Refined Sugar–Free)

3 cups frozen pineapple chunks
½ cup full-fat coconut milk
1–2 tablespoons maple syrup (optional, to taste)

1–3 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk (to blend)

This version keeps it creamy while avoiding refined sugar.

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Blend: Add frozen pineapple, ice cream (or coconut milk), and juice to a high-powered blender or food processor.

Adjust Texture: Add milk 1 tablespoon at a time until smooth but thick.
Whip: Blend until creamy and fluffy. Scrape sides as needed.
Serve: Enjoy immediately for soft-serve texture or freeze 20–30 minutes for firmer scoops.

For that signature swirl look, pipe into cups using a piping bag with a large star tip.

💡 Pro Tips

Use fully frozen pineapple for proper thickness.
If too thin, add more frozen pineapple — not ice.

For extra tang, add 1 teaspoon lemon juice.
Want it dairy-free? Stick with coconut milk and skip ice cream.

🍓 Flavor Variations

Strawberry Pineapple Swirl: Add ½ cup frozen strawberries.

Mango Dole Whip: Replace 1 cup pineapple with frozen mango.
Piña Colada Style (Adult): Add 1 tablespoon rum (optional).
