Dole Whip and Dole Whip float as served at Walt Disney World

Dole Whip (also known as Dole Soft Serve)[1] is a soft serve dairy-free frozen dessert created by Dole Food Company in 1984.[2] Prior to 2023, when Dole Whip began to be sold at retailers, Dole Whip was served at Disney theme parks and Dole Soft Serve was sold elsewhere. The original pineapple flavor is the best known, and additional fruit flavors are sold. Similar or identical desserts modeled after the Dole Whip but not manufactured or served by Dole are generically called pineapple whip.[3]

Description

Ingredients

The Dole Whip is made with powder and water in a soft serve machine,[4] though Disney published a recipe in 2020 to allow people to create their own Dole Whips at home during the COVID-19 pandemic.[5] Since at least 2013, Dole Whip has been made with exclusively vegan ingredients, and it has always been gluten-free.[6]

Calories

According to MyFitnessPal and the Dole Soft Serve company, one serving equivalent to 2/3 cup of the Dole Whip has 110 calories.[7][4]

History

Dole Whip was created by Dole Food Company in 1984.[2] It was introduced at the National Restaurant Association show in May 1984,[citation needed] 10 years after Dole Food Company took over from United Airlines as the sponsor of Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room (an attraction inside the Adventureland section of Disneyland).[citation needed] Dole Whip built on the attraction's initial refreshment offering of pineapple juice & fruit spears.[8]

In December 2018, Disneyland opened the Tropical Hideaway,[9] which offers a seating and dining area for Adventureland. With more soft-serve machines they were able to offer more Dole Whip flavors and combinations.

In 2023, Dole Whip was announced to be available in retail stores.[10][11]

Cultural impact

Dole Whip has achieved a cult following among Disney park-goers, allowing merchandise to be created in the Disney Snacks merchandise category.[2][12][13][14]
