How to Make Disney’s Vegan Dole Whip at Home
Disney released the cult-favorite recipe so you can transport yourself to the parks anytime
I grew up in a house that had rules — and they were reasonable ones. No sugary cereal, no staying up past 10:00 PM, no computer time until after homework was done.
But on vacation, there were no rules.
I remember standing outside the gates for the Tomorrowland Speedway in Magic Kingdom, watching kids crammed into brightly-colored cars bump along the track. The Florida sun made the day muggy already as I bit into the Mickey-shaped bar, chocolate and ice cream dripping down my hand faster than I could slurp it.
It was 9:30 AM.
That was only the first ice cream stop. As we worked our way around Magic Kingdom, we finished up the afternoon in Adventureland. Still singing “Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate’s life for me!” we waited in line at the colorful stand at Aloha Aisle for another round.
What emerged from the dispensers wasn’t ice cream, but a deliciously creamy pineapple treat. Disney has been serving Dole Whip at Walt Disney World since 1986, but on the day I discovered it, it was like what Aladdin sings to Jasmine on a magic carpet ride: a whole new world.
