*express* version of "DOLE WHIP"

[mykidsand_i]

OK, I've been looking for recipies for a long time and have come up with two things that work. Today, I was craving a Dole whip SOOOOOO BAD, but didn't have the time to actually make it all from scratch/homemade...so I did something quick that satisfied my oh so bad craving

Pineapple sherbert (approx. 1/2 container- you may wish to use more)
orange juice- not too much-(try 1/3 cup)
a little fresh lemon juice (I used the juice of 1/2 a lemon)
cool whip (4 oz)- I used 1/2 of the container
crushed pineapple (half of a can is what I used)


I mixed all of this up (to my liking- you can certainly work with the amounts to your liking!!) with my hand blender. I ate some of it to try it after mixing, to see if it tasted good and it did!!!! It was sooooooo yummy.

I put it in the freezer for half an hour and it was perfect. I made mine into a "float" by adding dole pineapple juice...

So, it's not perfect, but DARN CLOSE and it tasted SOOOOOO good.

You put it in the freezer for a half hour? How is that "express"? Seriously, I admire your willpower.

eta: your version was a lot more natural than the actual Dole Whip (from a mix - honestly!)

Well, it's express compared to all the other recipes I've found and tried for it. This is the shortest amount of "freezing" time- the next shortest was one and a half hours...
AND, it didn't really even have to be frozen- it tasted really good before it was frozen, and it was "shake-like"...

I'm going to have to try this, we are IN LOVE with Dole Whip floats, we had them twice the days we were in the MK.

You get them at the MK in adventureland at the Aloha Isle... I am soooo addicted to them. I usually get the float..

This sounds like a great recipe. Thanks for posting. I'd love to try it, but I was wondering if you could specify what sizes you meant by

"Pineapple sherbert (approx. 1/2 container- you may wish to use more)" what size container?

"crushed pineapple (half of a can is what I used)" what size can?

Guessing, until the OP gets back: Pint container of pineapple sherbet (can possibly substitute sorbet); approximately sixteen ounce, or 'standard' size can of crushed pineapple.
