Dole Whip Popsicles
Hello, Today’s Creative Life readers! I’m Kimberly from A Night Owl – a blog where we share all sorts of creative endeavors like crafts, recipes and more! I am truly am a night owl, working full time and am a mom of two adorable little boys. So whatever creative things I can get up to, are typically after hours! One thing you can be sure of when you stop by is that whatever we’re sharing you can create as well! And today is no exception. We live in sunny Arizona, so come Summertime we are obsessed with anything frozen, especially popsicles! And nothing says Summer more than tropical recipes, right? And today we’re sharing a yummy Dole Whip Popsicles recipe!
Have you ever had a Dole Whip from Disneyland?
Just amazing. And just the creamy pineapple taste of a Dole Whip takes me back to my childhood; to Summers spent riding Space Mountain and the Matterhorn.
Have you tried the copycat Dole Whip recipes out there? I have to admit that I totally have and just love being able to enjoy them at home. But recently I thought – I bet that would make a fantastic popsicle, and I was right!
One of my favorite popsicle recipes to date is our Orange Julius Popsicles. Kind of the same concept – a yummy tropical drink that we turned into a tasty popsicle! The ingredients for this popsicle are just as easy. I simply grabbed a can of crushed pineapple, a tub of Cool Whip, some sugar and the juice of one lime and blended it all together.
Then I simply poured that tasty pineapple-y concoction into our popsicle molds and let those babies freeze!

I’m from Canada and so our Cool Whip comes in a 1L tub; can you tell me how many cups of cool whip this recipe calls for? It’s not an easy conversion with cool whip being lighter than most liquids or solids even. THanks! Can’t wait to try this!
Hi Kelly, I shoot my guest poster Kim and email.
Hi Kelly! An 8oz tub is about 3 cups of Cool Whip. Hope that helps!
Thank you!!! 🙂 Going to make these tomorrow!
Kelly- these sound so good! Do you know how many calories are in each? Have you ever made them using the light whip cream or a sugar substitute like truvia? Love the pics, too!
Kimberly may circle back and see your comment. Thank you!
Kim- I am sorry I addressed you as Kelly. I am getting ready to make these and just noticed my blunder.
