Make Your Own Dole Whip Cupcakes!
Dole Whips are ridiculously popular among Disney Fans! The pineapple frosty treat is perfect to have on your Disney vacation, plus is always photo worthy! How about getting a little taste of Dole Whips at home? Especially right now since we are ALL missing our favorite Disney destinations! Here’s a recipe to make Dole Whip cupcakes, courtesy of Delish!
INGREDIENTS
FOR THE CUPCAKES
1 box yellow cake mix
1 c. crushed pineapple with juice
1/3 c. vegetable oil
3 large eggs
FOR THE FROSTING
1 c. (2 sticks) butter, softened
4 c. powdered sugar, divided
1/4 c. pineapple juice
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
Small pineapple wedges, for garnish
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 325° and line two cupcake pans with cupcake liners.
In a large bowl using a hand mixer, mix cake mix with crushed pineapple, vegetable oil, and eggs. Beat at medium speed for 2 minutes.
Pour batter into prepared cupcake pans and bake for 20 to 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center of cupcake comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely before frosting.
Meanwhile, make frosting: In a large bowl, combine butter, 2 cups powdered sugar, pineapple juice, and vanilla. Using a hand mixer, beat until smooth. Add remaining 2 cups powdered sugar and beat until light and fluffy.
Transfer frosting to a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip. Swirl frosting onto cooled cupcakes. Garnish each cupcake with a pineapple wedge and a decorative straw.
Enjoy!
