Dole Whip

The Dole Whip is a pineapple-flavored soft-serve frozen dessert sold only at Disneyland and at Dole's processing plant in Hawaii.

The dessert, served in a cup or in a glass of pineapple juice as a float topeed with a maraschino cherry and Polynesian paper umbrella, is a benefit of Disneyland's long-standing relation with Dole Foods, corporate sponsors of Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room. For many years, the snack bar was opened only sporadically; it may be surmised that pressure from park guests as well as Dole itself coupled with the park's new management played a role.

Though a Dole Whip has the taste and consistency of soft-serve ice cream, the dessert actually gets its texture from ordinary food thickeners. Only a small amount of the milk derivative sodium caseinate accounts for dairy content.

According to precisionfoods.com, the following is the actual ingredient list. The list is kept behind the counter at the snack stand and is available upon request.
