This super simple Dole Whip with jus brings sunshine vibes straight to your kitchen. Frozen pineapple and banana get whirled up with creamy coconut milk for a smooth dairy free dessert. The splash of jus makes it a fun drink for chill weekends or laid back hangouts.
Last summer my friends couldn’t get enough of this—it just vanished. Pineapple and coconut have this magical way of turning any regular day into something special.
Dreamy Ingredients
- Jus: gives a sweet grown-up flavor. Try vanilla jus for warmth or pineapple for double fruit fun.
- Frozen banana: keeps things creamy and blends right in. Grab one that’s just ripe for the perfect color.
- Sweetened coconut milk: makes it extra rich and smooth. Full fat is best for max creaminess.
- Frozen pineapple: adds that iconic tang and chills things down. Pick bright yellow chunks for big flavor without freezer burn.
Simple Directions
- Grab Your Glasses:
- Scoop or pour your Dole Whip into cold glasses or bowls. Eat it right away for a scoop vibe, or let it melt a little if you want to sip it.
- Give It a Taste:
- Try a spoonful and see how you like it. Want it thinner? Add more coconut milk. If it’s too solid, leave it for a bit so it softens up.
- Blend It Smooth:
- Start blending slow, then go full speed. Scrape the sides if needed. Stop when it’s super creamy with no chunks left. Some blenders need a couple minutes for this.
- Chuck Everything In:
- Toss frozen pineapple, banana, coconut milk, and jus in your blender—fruit at the bottom gets things moving.

I’m obsessed with the punchy pineapple flavor. Every time I set this out my family goes silent to enjoy the first mouthful, then it’s just happy faces. Vanilla jus just takes it up a notch and makes it feel special, but my kids inhale it too.
Storage Tricks
This is best right out of the blender for that soft serve vibe. Leftovers? No problem—just throw them in a container and freeze. When you want more, let it sit out for five to ten minutes. Reblend to make it fluffy again.
Ingredient Swaps
No banana? Frozen mango is a great stand-in for that creamy texture. For the jus, switch to pineapple or coconut for a fun twist. You could swap out the coconut milk for oat or almond, but coconut gives it that classic Dole Whip feel.

Fun Ways to Serve
Make it extra cool at parties by serving in hollowed-out pineapple halves. Sprinkle toasted coconut on top or add a cherry. For a booze-free option, just leave out the jus.
Origins and Story
Dole Whip got its start at Disneyland as a pineapple soft serve with zero dairy. People loved the creamy cold treat and sunny taste. This homemade spin keeps that spirit but tosses in a little cocktail flair for grown ups who still want to feel on vacation.
Common Recipe Questions
- → Could I swap in regular coconut milk for less sweetness?
Yep, go for unsweetened coconut milk if you’d like the drink to be lighter on sugar and a bit more mellow.
- → Which jus brings out the flavor best?
Vanilla gives extra creaminess and warmth, while passionfruit really zips things up with tang. Either's a hit.
- → Is it possible to make this in advance?
Totally. Blend it up, stash it in the freezer, then blitz again right before serving for that creamy result.
- → How do I make this version booze-free?
Just leave out the rum for a sunny frozen pineapple treat everyone can enjoy.
- → How should the banana be for this?
Grab a ripe banana you’ve already frozen. It sweetens up the drink and keeps things creamy.
