Many people can't leave [Disneyland](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waffle-cone-shot) without enjoying the famous Dole Whip dessert and now they can sample the creamy treat in the form of delicious Dole Whip Donuts.

Disneyland's new Dole Whip Donuts are a clever take on one of the park's most popular desserts. The new dish consists of a traditional yeast donut stuffed with a sweet [pineapple-flavored filling](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dole-colada-royale-pineapple) and bits of real pineapple. The donut is then glazed with a pineapple-flavored icing and topped with a swirl of lightly-toasted marshmallow meringue, for an [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poptastic-donut)-worthy treat.

Of course, the specialty donuts are not so easy to get a hold of. Fans recommend stopping by the Main Street coffee cart first thing in the morning to snag one of the tasty pineapple treats.
