My Disney-inspired Dole whip popsicles are the perfect way to cool down this summer! These two-ingredient creamy pineapple popsicles take just minutes to make in the blender, and they’re perfectly sweet and fruity. I always make a big batch for barbecues and pool parties– the kids love them! They’re a big hit with adults, too!
Pineapple Popsicles Recipe
I love making Dole whips in the summertime, but they don’t keep super well in the freezer for more than an hour. So when I know I want to enjoy some later, I make these Dole whip popsicles instead. They have all the great flavor of a classic Disney Dole whip, but in a convenient popsicle form.
I make these pineapple popsicles with just 2 ingredients– pineapple chunks and vanilla ice cream– and they’re surprisingly rich and creamy. My kids love to eat them after a long day at the beach!

No Mold? No Problem!
To make pineapple Dole whip popsicles without a mold, you’ll need small paper cups, popsicle sticks, and aluminum foil. Pour the popsicle mixture into the cups (leaving a bit of room at the top to allow for expansion), cover the cups with foil, and poke the popsicle sticks through (the foil will help hold the sticks in place as they freeze). Place the cups on a baking sheet or other stable surface in the freezer and freeze for 3-4 hours, or until solid. When ready to enjoy, simply peel away the cups!
