Dole Whip is a Disney theme park dessert staple, but now that the parks are closed due to the coronavirus pandemic, you won’t have official access to it for a while. But you can do the next best thing: Make it from the comfort of your own home. That’s right, Disney is finally letting everyone in on how to re-create the experience from anywhere in the world.

The Dole Whip recipe was shared on the Disneyland Resort app in April—and the “frozen pineapple treat” is so easy to make and requires only three ingredients.

Here’s what you need to make a single serving:

  • 1 big scoop of vanilla ice cream
  • 1/2 cup (4 ounces) of pineapple juice
  • 2 cups of frozen pineapple

That’s it! Be sure to add these ingredients to your next Instacart order, and don’t forget to tip well. Then you simply add all the ingredients into a blender and blend until the mixture is totally smooth. If you want to be totally authentic to the Disney style, you’ll squeeze it out of a pastry bag into a swirl (though you can also just spoon it into a bowl and go if you’re all about the taste, not the aesthetic). So easy, right? Just like that, you can imagine you’re at Disney. Maybe pick an old favorite movie or show to stream on Disney+ to fully complete the at-home experience. (Here are our favorite Disney movies.)

For context: The company Dole is the original creator of Dole Whip and has its official recipe here.

Now that Dole Whip à la Disney is in the world, will it become the new banana bread of our Instagram feeds? Disney also released its churros recipe earlier in the week if you need a little something extra to snack on while you work from home.

All we can say is “YUM!” Don't mind us; we’ll just be dipping Disney churros into Dole Whip for the rest of the quarantine.
