Homemade boozy Dole Whip saves you a trip to the theme park

If you have visited “The Happiest Place on Earth,” chances are you have experienced the Dole Whip — a simple yet utterly amazing frozen pineapple dessert that is cool, creamy and addicting.

But you don’t have to visit Disney to get your fill. Using canned pineapple and a few simple ingredients, you can easily make your very own homemade version.

This version is only for us big kids, though, since I’ve added rum to the pineapple mixture. Enjoy this frozen treat when lounging by your pool or just to cool down when relaxing on a warm summer evening.
