Make the Cupcake Inspired by DOLE Whip at Home

DOLE Whip Day is just around the corner, and Disney is cooking something up! The dairy-free dessert is well known throughout all the Parks; it’s the one thing we all want even when we’re not visiting a Park. Previously, Disney released the recipe for the tasty snack, and now they’re releasing a recipe for a dessert inspired by the swirling pineapple treat.

If pineapple isn’t your jive, Disney offers so many flavors of DOLE Whip, genuinely making it a favorite for all fans. Some flavors are strawberry, mango, raspberry, and orange. Serving DOLE Whip as soft serve in a cup, a cone, a sundae, float, or with alcohol, Disney has all the options. This delicious treat inspired the classic cupcake sold at Contempo Café in Disney’s Contemporary Resort.
