What is Taco Bell’s Pineapple Whip Freeze?
If you ever wanted a virgin pina colada from Taco Bell, now’s your chance.
How is it?
As far as frozen fast food drinks go, the Pineapple Whip Freeze is top-tier. It’s like drinking a refreshing pina colada-flavored Slurpee with an injection of vanilla cream replacing the coconut flavor.
The pineapple slush is vibrant and delicious, and the vanilla flavor complements it perfectly, yet I was still left mildly unfulfilled.
I couldn’t help but think how perfect this would be if Taco Bell had an ice cream machine.
While this Freeze tastes great overall, this would have been an all-time elite with a giant scoop of vanilla ice cream as opposed to the “vanilla creamer whip” that Taco Bell classifies it as.
I think the image of a Dole Whip was unfairly dancing in my head every time I took a sip, so maybe that’s an unfair complaint, but still, this would have been a 10 if it was pineapple slush mixed with a thick vanilla shake. In fairness, it melted a bit in the eight minute or so drive home.
Anything else you need to know?
Despite my petty whining, it’s a great drink to usher in the warmer weather. It also perfectly complemented the burrito I absolutely Frankensteined in the Taco Bell app by adding almost every possible ingredient.
I bet this would make a fantastic alcoholic drink. I may grab another one and toss an airplane shot of Malibu or two in the cup. Don’t judge me. It’s summer. Live más.
Oh, and this was supposed to come with a green lid to give it a fun pineapple appearance. Naturally, I didn’t get one, because I NEVER get the special edition packaging on anything for some reason.
Conclusion:
The syrupy vanilla wasn’t as perfect as I had hoped, but the Pineapple Whip Freeze was still pretty fantastic. If you’re a fan of Dole Whips, I would recommend getting the regular Pineapple Freeze and adding your own vanilla ice cream (and maybe a shot of rum).

Taco Bell should have coconut creamer offering too for those vegan and to give it a pina colada feel.
I was thinking the exact same thing: this would be *great* mixed up with vanilla soft-serve ice cream. If there’s a McDonald’s nearby, not a bad idea for a mash-up!
“I bet this would make a fantastic alcoholic drink. I may grab another one and toss an airplane shot of Malibu or two in the cup. Don’t judge me.”
Throwback to my college days of grabbing slurpees and adding in alcohol.
It’s good. However, I went and bought vanilla ice cream and pineapple Fanta and made a pineapple float. Tasted even better!
One of the ladies here brought these pineapple sushi vanilla dreams in for each of us essential workers on a hot muggy work day…I totally loved it and also like you wonder what alcohol would pair best? Time will tell….
I had it but after the “Pineapple” melted the whip just became a curdled chunky mess at the bottom of the drink. No amount of mixing worked and I had to toss it. I think if you drink it within the first 8 minutes of getting it you’ll be fine. Just don’t let it melt.
