Dole Whip is having a moment.
The dairy-free soft serve was first introduced in Disney World in the 1980s, with the pineapple-flavored treat developing a cult-following at park.
In the last few years, food bloggers and recipe developers have created make-at-home versions, and a few months ago, Disney released the official recipe on their My Disney Experience App. Their version has only three ingredients – vanilla ice cream, pineapple juice and pineapple chunks.
Dole has also begun to sell their own branded Dole Whip soft serve mixes, which ice-cream shops around the country have been using to create Dole Whip in a variety of flavors, including Lemon, Lime, Mango, Orange, Raspberry, Strawberry, Cherry, Watermelon and the original, Pineapple.
Dole Whip fandom has also exploded on social media, with hundreds of thousands of posts devoted to the fat-free, dairy-free, and gluten-free treat.
