Dole Whip University Challenges Fans to Try Dole Whip in New Ways

— July 19, 2024 — Lifestyle
Dole Food Company introduced Dole Whip at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom in 1984 and to celebrate this milestone anniversary, the company launched over a dozen recipes and an online program called Dole Whip University.

On the Dole Whip Wonderland webpage, there are 14 recipes, including a version of the classic DIY Dole Whip that started a sensation. Other fresh-ingredient Dole Whips include varieties with ingredients like curry and mango, spicy tamarind, lemon-blueberry and mint, as well as Strawberry Coconut Lime Dole Whip created by Rachel Anderson, the winner of Dole’s 2023 #DoleWhipLife Creator of the Year Contest.

Dole Whip lovers who make at least 13 of the full list of 14 will officially graduate #DoleWhipU and have the chance to print a Dole Whip Diploma representing a degree in “Dole Whipenomics.”
