Disney Dole Pineapple Whip Margarita!
I think it was the hottest day of our Disney trip last year when we came across Dole whip.
A proper eyes rolling back into the head moment when we took that first taste! It’s pineapple-y, creamy, thick and refreshingly cold. I’ve had it on my list to try to recreate ever since, but I thought i’d wait until the warmer months. I’m a bit nesh, and icy cold snacks don’t appeal to me when it’s anything colder than strappy t-shirt weather.
And then I realised it was New year party coming up, and I happened upon a nice looking bottle of tequila whilst out shopping……
Seemed like the perfect opportunity to try Dole whip with a twist!!
The recipe uses frozen pineapple for a good hit of pineapple taste, whilst providing the frozen element needed to get that thick, spoonable texture.
I also use tinned coconut cream (I buy tinned coconut milk, and then just use the solid part, leaving the coconut liquid behind). It’s a bit cheaper than buying tins of coconut cream.
Then it’s a case of adding tequila plus triple sec or Cointreau and a good squeeze of lime, and whizzing it all up until thick and creamy.
HOW TO MAKE DOLE WHIP MARGARITAS
First to make these easy Dole Whip Margaritas you’ll need to place frozen pineapples, tequila, and triple sec into a blender and blend.
Next, you will pour milk into the blender while blending until you get the texture you want.
If you happen to add too much liquid add more frozen pineapple or ice in the blender. Last, pour into a glass, top with a slice of pineapple and enjoy!
Additionally, this delicious Dole Whip Margarita recipe makes a great summer cocktail and perfect for Easter brunch and celebrating Cinco de Mayo.

Ingredients
- 150 g coconut cream I used the coconut cream from a can
- 45 ml tequila
- 20 ml Cointreau
- juice of half a lime
- 300 g frozen pineapple pieces
- 100 g crushed ice optional
Instructions
- Place the coconut cream, tequila, Cointreau, lime juice and frozen pineapple in a blender and blend together until smooth. If you'd like it a little thicker, add in the crushed ice and blend again.
- Spoon into two glasses, or if you want the Dole whip margarita to look swirled, spoon into a disposable piping bag and cut the end off, then pipe into glasses in a swirling motion.
- Serve immediately. You could decorate with additional pineapple chunks if you like.
Notes
- Yes, you can use reduced fat coconut milk to reduce the fat and calories in this recipe (although it won't be quite as creamy). This can reduce each serving by approximately 90 calories - depending on which brand you use.
- Unfortunately no. It will melt if stored in the refrigerator, and it will freeze solid in the freezer.
