Okay, so how do we make a "copy-cat" Dole Whip????

That's my absolute fave thing to have at WDW!!

I've never actually had one at WDW, tried this one year for our Christmas Disney buffet. They weren't quite what I expected (I thought they'd be something you could drink with a straw) but they're really good....and easy!

Pineapple Icee Whip
a Great Pretender for Dole Whips, from Dole.com

Prep: 10 min.
Freeze: 3 hrs.
Makes: 8 servings


2 cans DOLE Crushed Pineapple (20 oz. each)
2 Tbl lemon juice
2 Tbl lime juice
1/3 c sugar
½ c chopped maraschino cherries, mini marshmallow or mini chocolate chips, (optional)
1½ c heavy whipping cream, whipped


Drain pineapple; reserve 2 tablespoons juice. Set aside.

Place pineapple, lemon juice, lime juice, sugar and reserved pineapple juice in blender or food processor container. Cover; blend until smooth. Stir in cherries or marshmallow or chips, if desired.

Pour into two 1-quart freezer zipped bags. Store bags flat in freezer. Freeze about 1-1/2 hours or until slushy.

Stir gently pineapple slush into whipped cream until just blended, in large bowl. Return to freezer until completely frozen, about 1 hour. Serve.

Thanks, piratesmate!

I'll have to try that this week. It doesn't sound too hard to make.

 

[piratesmate]

You're right - it's actually very easy. I meant to say, though, that I haven't used quart sized bags since the first time. There just didn't seem to be enough room to smoosh is around. So I've been putting it all into a gallon baggie & make sure it's spread pretty thin. If I do separate it, it's because half gets chocolate chips & the other half gets cherries. (Although, DS likes his with all 3! )

Oh, I should have re-read that recipe. I was eating my dinner (a quesadilla & it was sloppy) so I didn't do any editing.

I don't bother whipping my own cream. In fact, I generally use Cool Whip. I also do some with Splenda instead of sugar & use pineapple in its own juice to limit the sugar for me.

Cheddar Cheese Soup from Le Cellier! Delicious! I've already made it twice and my DH told me if I wanted to make it every weekend he wouldn't complain.

TonyS20 - can you share the soup recipe?! Sounds great!
