Dole Whip (Magic Kingdom)

Dole Whips are amazing.  I'm sad to say I'd never tried them until my CRP program, but now I'm addicted.  It's the true sign that you're home when you're eating a Dole Whip and wandering around the Magic Kingdom.  It's one of the few places in the world where you can get this magnificent treat.  That's why I was so surprised to find that the at-home recipe was so simple!

The Review

Well, to start off let's look at the comparison:  Jenn's Dole Whip, and Disney's!

  

Clearly, there is one big difference... mine isn't quite soft-serve.  This  is just because I left it in the freezer for a longer time.  If you take it out of the freezer and let it sit, it will become soft again.  That being said, I never really waited for it to become soft serve because it's so good!  This is definitely going to be re-created for the next Disney Games Night!

      

Edited August 6th: I've made this recipe again, and when you don't over-freeze it, the recipe is perfect!  We served it at the Disney Games Night complete with Dole Pinapple Juice and it was just like we were at the Magic Kingdom!
