Article stated this was posted through the Disneyland App. Thought I'd share.

Not sure that is the real recipe. My understanding was the Disney product is non-dairy. That recipe is just vanilla ice cream and pineapple juice. When I had a Dole Whip last year at Disney, the texture/flavor was more like sorbet then ice cream.

It’s not the real recipe. Dole Whip is a branded snack made from a bagged mix and it’s dairy free. The swirl with vanilla soft serve is not dairy free. You can buy the mix online at Amazon and make it in an ice cream maker.

There's a link to Dole's recipe, and it's this:

Definitely non-dairy.

Oddly enough, I've been to Disney more than a few times, yet I've only had Dole Whip at the Dole plantation. Which makes sense, yet it doesn't, really.

These are the real ingredients. Most of us don't have any mono or diglycerides sitting around the kitchen. It would be great if Disney could change the recipe and only use natural ingredients in the Dole Whips.

• Sugar
• Dextrose
• Coconut Oil
• Stabilizers (Cellulose Gum, Xanthan Gum, Locust Bean Gum, Karaya Gum, Pectin)
• Maltodextrin
• Citric Acid
• Natural & Artificial Flavor (contains Pineapple Juice), Modified Food Starch, Malic Acid, Artificial Color (Yellow 5 & 6)
• Mono & Diglycerides
• Less Than 2% Silicon Dioxide (Anticaking).

There is absolutely no dairy in Dole Pineapple soft serve. It's a powder that comes in a bag. That being said, there can be dairy in various soft serve powders. I've seen frozen yogurt shop employees reloading the powder in milk-style cartons.

It looks like this:

There's always been artificial flavors in there. It would be fundamentally changed if they didn't include the artificial flavors.

Yeah I think I prefer that DIY version I posted in #4 to this.

What is wrong with natural pineapple to provide flavor?

There's nothing particularly wrong with what's in the mix. Some ingredients may be artificial, but they are what they are. Dextrose is chemically made sugar. Maltodextrin is not natural. Industrial citric acid is artificial. I guess the artificial color isn't necessary, but I don't worry too much about it.

But the flavor profile includes real pineapple flavor as well as some artificial ingredients. It's already well balanced with all the ingredients. Whatever they had is proprietary, but I know there are some artificial flavors that have a distinct flavor, including artificial green apple or artificial watermelon. If they go all natural, it would likely taste like something else.

Well I have only had a Dole Whip once and while it was good, I didn’t find it to be the end all and be all that some here seem to think it is.

BUT, if I was going to try a recipe or mix or whatever—it would e the recipe in the OP. It sounds really good.

I prefer the citrus swirl but let’s face it - it all tastes better at Disney with the sounds of Adventureland in the background.

You mean Jolly Rancher green apple has a natural flavor?

This is such a B.S. article. Disney has never had a "homemade" Dole whip recipe.

If fact, if you make this recipe as shown, it tastes terrible. Fresh/frozen pineapple has a high level of enzymes that react very badly with milk proteins and basically start to break it down in your mouth. It ends up giving you a really gross aftertaste. Try it...eat some pineapple and then drink milk or take a bite of ice cream. Blech. This effect gets mitigated with cooked pineapple, which is often how you find it when it's an ice cream topping.

I made this once in my blender and took one sip and dumped it down the drain. It was horrible.

There is a good reason why Dole Whip mix (and the "real" recipe from Dole) doesn't contain real dairy.

One of the restaurant’s in town serves homemade pineapple ice cream. It is sooo good. I believe they purée the pineapple, cook it and then add it to the ice cream mix.

That may work with the recipe. But may just do the whole homemade ice cream instead.

Yeah, you have to cook off the pineapple before you add it to the ice cream mix. Haagen dazs makes a pineapple coconut ice cream which is really good.

If you look around on the internet, you can find any number of recipes that claim to be the 'real' Disney recipe. I have tried a few of them and none of them had the taste or consistency of the product we had at Disney last year. Not surprising for the high volume locations the product is produced elsewhere and then chilled/dispensed at various Disney locations, but that doesn't change what the list of ingredients would be.

There is no fruit pulp in the Disney product, so any recipe that includes grinding up a pineapple or banana is not the real recipe. While the product is fun to try when at Disney, we didn't really find it that special or amazing as some others apparently think it is.
