Dole is hosting a contest to celebrate the Dole Whip, a non-dairy treat featuring banana and pineapple.

Consumers have from May 29-June 8 to make their own Dole Whip creation based on the Dole original recipe. Consumers enter by posting a pic of their version of the treat on Dole’s Facebook, Instagram or Twitter along with the hashtag #DIYDoleWhip, according to a news release. 

“Dole judges will reward the five most creative submissions, with the grand prize winner receiving a Vitamix A2500 Ascent Series Blender valued at more than $600 and being crowned Dole’s Ultimate Dole Whip Fan,” according to the release. 

Three Dole Whip-inspired prize packs will also be awarded.

The Dole Whip was created in 1986 as a sponsor for Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room at Disneyland. After 34 years, Dole continues to sponsor the Tiki Room and serve the soft serve treat.

The recipe calls for pineapple, frozen banana, coconut milk, lime juice and powdered sugar, according to the release. The Dole recipe and nutrition information is on the Dole website.
