Disneyland Dole Whips

Disneyland Dole Whips

imagesVEN1F6D41 (16 oz) bag of frozen pineapple chunks (I used Dole)
4 cups vanilla ice cream
1 teaspoon lime juice
1 teaspoon lemon juice
12 ounces pineapple juice

Puree frozen pineapple in a blender. It works best if it is about halfway thawed. To that, add the ice cream, lime juice, lemon juice, and half (6oz) of the pineapple juice. Blend together until it is well mixed. Freeze the mixture for about 2 hours to set up. Scoop into glasses or bowls and pour the remaining pineapple juice over each serving. We found it made about 3 servings, but you can easily double or cut the recipe in half. Dream of Disneyland and enjoy!

Another Version

2 cans (20 oz. each) crushed pineapple
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
2 Tbsp lime juice
1/3 cup sugar
1-1/2 cups whipping cream, whipped.

Pineapple juice {As much or little as you want}
Sugar, to taste

Drain crushed pineapple and reserve 2 Tbsp. Set aside. Place pineapple, lemon juice, lime juice, sugar and reserved juice in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. {Go just a little bit longer than you think you need to. Otherwise, your resulting ice cream will be lumpy.) Pour into a gallon zipped freezer bag and store flat in freezer until it becomes a slushy consistency. {About 1-1/2 hours.} In a large bowl, gently fold pineapple mixture into whipped cream until blended. Return to freezer until completely frozen. {About 1 hour.) Add enough sugar to your pineapple juice to make it sweet enough to your liking. {We also diluted it with a tiny bit of water, but it really just depends on how it tastes to you.} Scoop pineapple slush ice cream into a cup and fill the rest of the way with your juice. Sit back and relax and pretend you’re riding Space Mountain.

Vegan Version

2 cups (frozen-by-you) DOLE pineapple cubes, from a fresh DOLE pineapple (cut by you)
1 DOLE banana, frozen
1/2-1 cup non-dairy milk (soy, almond, coconut…)

First you a pineapple, wait until it is fragrant and ripe, then chop it into cubes. Freeze the cubes. Also freeze your own ripe bananas. Place the pineapple, banana and 1/2 cup non-dairy milk in a high speed blender. Place lid on and start blending from low to high. Continue blending and use your Vitamix tamper (Vitamix is advised for achieving best results.) You want to add as little liquid as possible to maintain the frosty thickness, but add more liquid in small splashes as needed to blend. Pour the frosty whip into a serving cup, swirl on top with the back of a spoon and serve! Garnish with fresh pineapple if possible. Colorful umbrella optional.

One More

2 cans (20 oz each) Dole Crushed Pineapple
2 Tbsp sugar
Juice of one lime
Juice of one lemon
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 (8 oz) tub Cool Whip Free, frozen

In a blender, pour in the cans of crushed pineapple (pineapple and their juice), the sugar, juices of both the lemon and lime, and the vanilla. Blend for about 2 minutes or until completely smooth. Cut the frozen Cool Whip in quarters and place it in the blender. Blend on high until combined and smooth. Mixture will be thick but still pourable. Pour the mixture into two Mason jars with the lids off. Place the Mason jars into the freezer and freeze for about 3 hours, or until the mixture is soft and thick, like soft serve. Serve immediately. I find that in my freezer, 3 hours is the perfect amount of time for thick and creamy soft serve-style Dole Whips, but check yours after 2 and experiment with times from the 2-hour mark.
