If you’re a fan of the Dole Whip soft serve at the magical Disney World, then you absolutely have to try making these refreshing Dole Whip Popsicles at home! There’s nothing like enjoying these tropical treats on a hot day.

When the temperatures rise, I love having a batch of Dole Whip Popsicles ready in the freezer. For me, summer is all about soaking up the sun, enjoying outdoor adventures, and indulging in refreshing treats that keep me cool. These creamy pineapple popsicles are always a hit, and the best part? They’re fun, easy, and incredibly rewarding to make.

The inspiration for these popsicles comes from the iconic Dole Whip served at Disney Parks. The first time I tried Dole Whip, I was instantly hooked, and I knew I had to recreate that same magic at home. Since I don’t live near the parks—nowhere near Texas, in fact—this recipe has become the perfect pick-me-up to tide me over until my next visit.

What is Dole Whip?

Before diving into the recipe, let’s take a moment to appreciate the history of Dole Whip. Originally created in the 1980s by the Dole Food Company, this frozen dessert quickly became a cult favorite, particularly at Disney Parks. Dole Whip was initially served as a soft-serve treat, made with real pineapple juice and other natural flavors, offering a dairy-free and gluten-free option for park-goers. Its light, creamy texture and bright, fruity flavor made it an instant hit, and it wasn’t long before Dole Whip became synonymous with summer fun and tropical escapes.

While you can still find Dole Whip at select locations, the good news is that you don’t have to travel far to enjoy this delicious treat. With just a few simple ingredients and a little creativity, you can bring the magic of Dole Whip into your own kitchen in the form of refreshing popsicles.

Popsicle Ingredients:

Utensils:

Blender – To achieve the creamy, smooth consistency that makes these Dole Whip Popsicles so irresistible, you’ll need a high-speed blender. It’s crucial for blending the frozen pineapple and other ingredients into a perfectly silky mixture. A Vitamix works best, but any good-quality blender will do the job.
Popsicle Mold – Whether you go for classic molds or opt for creative shapes, having a quality mold ensures your popsicles freeze evenly and are easy to remove when they’re ready to enjoy.

How to make Dole Whip Popsicles:

Combine 3 cups of frozen pineapple chunks, 1/3 cup pineapple juice, 1/2 cup of coconut milk, 1.5 tablespoons of agave syrup, and the juice of half a lemon in a blender. Blend until smooth.
Pour the blended mixture into popsicle molds and insert the sticks.
Place in the freezer overnight (or for at least 6 hours).
Remove the popsicles from the molds and enjoy!

How to store homemade popsicles:

If you plan to eat the popsicles within a day or two, you can simply leave them in the molds. Just make sure to cover the tops with plastic wrap or foil to prevent freezer burn.

For longer storage, remove the popsicles from the molds once they’re fully frozen. Wrap each popsicle individually in plastic wrap or wax paper to keep them from sticking together and to protect them from freezer burn. Next, place the wrapped popsicles in a freezer-safe bag or an airtight container, squeezing out as much air as possible before sealing. Label the containers with the date and flavor to easily keep track of your frozen treats.

Homemade popsicles are best enjoyed within 2-3 weeks for the freshest taste and texture, but they can be stored for up to 2 months if needed. This way, you’ll always have a delicious, refreshing treat ready whenever you need a cool escape!
