Dole Whip (also known as Dole Soft Serve) is a soft serve dairy-free frozen dessert created by Dole Food Company in 1983. Prior to 2023, when Dole Whip began to be sold at retailers, Dole Whip was served at Disney theme parks and Dole Soft Serve was sold elsewhere. The original pineapple flavor is the best known, and additional fruit flavors are sold. Similar or identical desserts modeled after the Dole Whip but not manufactured or served by Dole are generically called pineapple whip.

History
Dole Whip was created by Dole Food Company at the Dole Technical Center in San Jose, California by food scientist Kathy Westphal in 1983. In 1976, Dole took over from United Airlines as the sponsor of Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room (an attraction inside the Adventureland section of Disneyland), offering pineapple juice & fruit spears, and in 1983 sponsoring the Florida version of the attraction (titled "Tropical Serenade") at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom Park, serving vanilla soft-serve ice cream topped with diced pineapples. A recent graduate from UC Davis, Kathy Westphal, was tasked with formulating a non-dairy, dry-mix version of the soft-serve ice cream that would withstand Florida’s heat. William Goldfield, director of global corporate communications for Dole Food Company, explains “Dole kitchens were focused on creating a brilliant fruit flavor and colorful true-to-fruit soft serve product. It was made primarily for Disney but was introduced a short time before being added to the parks.” After a soft launch of the product in 1983, it debuted at Magic Kingdom in 1984 as Dole Pineapple Whip. It became available at Disneyland in 1986.
Dole Whip debuted in Florida with three flavors: pineapple, orange, and strawberry—but only pineapple was available at Disneyland. In December 2018, Disneyland opened the Tropical Hideaway, which offers a seating and dining area for Adventureland. With more soft-serve machines they were able to offer more Dole Whip flavors and combinations.
As of 2023, Dole Whip is available for purchase in retail stores.
Cultural impact
Dole Whip has achieved a cult following among Disney park-goers, allowing merchandise to be created in the Disney Snacks merchandise category.
