So I guess I need to preface this post with the fact that I’ve never been to Disneyland…Disney World plenty, including earlier this year (sooo fun, it really is magical y’all!) but the whole time I lived in California because I was being worked to the death for the sake of entertainment I never had a chance to get there. My mom kept telling me how they have these Dole Whips there that are apparently super famous and super delicious, and how I needed to make one.
(Please note the official Disneyland flag in the pics below that my mom got there when she was just a little girl, so cute). I have since found out that they now serve these at the Magic Kingdom at Disney World too, but it wasn’t my cheat day while I was there so I avoided even seeing all of the fun bad food as much as possible (which by the way is everywhere at Disney! I lost count at how many Mickey Mouse ice creams I looked at longingly, no worries my dude ate them for me haha).
Soo, anyways, after hearing about this delicious and fun even without alcohol drink about a million times, I tracked down several recipes for them and decided to give them a whirl. Not gonna lie, I was a little skeptical because, well, pineapple, pineapple juice and ice cream? Don’t get me wrong I love both, but together I wasn’t sold…well, that is until I had one. Oh sweet goodness, these are ammaazzing. I could not stop drinking this stuff y’all. It’s creamy, but sweet and tangy from the pineapple juice. Sooo good! Please do yourself a favor and make these, like, tonight 🙂
First, place your semi-thawed pineapple in your blender…
now your ice cream and some pineapple juice…
after freezing for a bit, scoop into your cups, and put as much or as little pineapple juice as you like…
- 1 (16 Ounce) Bag of Dole Frozen Pineapple Chunks.
- 4 Cups of Vanilla Ice Cream (I Used Breyers).
- 12-20 Ounces of Dole Pineapple Juice.
- Half way thaw your frozen pineapple, I honestly forgot to leave the pineapple out to thaw so I zapped it in the microwave for 30-45 seconds.
- In a blender, place your pineapple in it and puree it, I would intermittently use a spatula to scrape down the insides of the blender to move around the pineapple to make sure it was all pureed well.
- Now add your ice cream and around 8 ounces of your pineapple juice, and blend thoroughly.
- Freeze this mixture for 1-2 hours to set it.
- Scoop your mixture into glasses and pour more pineapple juice over each scoop of ice cream.
- I put 12-20 ounces of pineapple juice because it is really up to your taste, I like quite a bit of pineapple juice on my ice cream and you may not, put as little or as much as you like 🙂
