I first had “Dole Whip” in California.  I was attending meetings in southern California and Tim went with me so we could extend our stay to include the weekend driving up and down the gorgeous coastline.  Tim really appreciated his standard “night cap” of ice cream, so we found an ice cream shop very close to our hotel.


Night one we stopped at this ice cream shop and as I’m always wanting to peruse dairy free options I asked what they had.  The only dairy free option was “Dole Whip, which was explained to me to be a frozen pineapple product that was whipped until it was the consistency of soft serve ice cream.  I was doubtful, but decided to give it a try.  I was immediately won over and we went back to that quaint ice cream shop every night before we retired to our hotel and I ordered the Dole Whip.


When we retuned home to Georgia I began to see Dole Whip pop up at other places, including our local movie theater.  I decided to give it a try at home in my trusty food processor and came up with this recipe that I really adore,  Good silver Casamigos tequila enhances the flavor and assists in the freezing process if you have any left over to freeze.  The alcohol in the tequila helps to not have this freeze into a solid mass, but as there isn’t a fatty factor to this semblance of a sorbet, it can be quite solid otherwise,  No worries.  A little time left out on the counter brings it back to a nice serving consistency.  I rarely have to freeze as we eat it as soon as it’s whipped up.  That’s when the flavor is best and the essence of tequila is noticeable.

THIS CASAMIGOS TEQUILA MAKES A TASTY PINEAPPLE WHIP...LEAVE IT OUT IF YOU'RE MAKING THIS FOR THE KIDDOS

This literally takes about 3 minutes to come together with the help of a food processor.  Mine has lasted me over a decade and can be found on our shop page.  I use it for so many things and making quick frozen desserts is at the top of its uses in the summer.


You can certainly make this without tequila.  If children will be partaking, leave out the tequila entirely.  It’s delicious either way.  Simply whip, scoop, adorn and serve.    Perfect cold treat for hot summer days.
