we have been searching for a true Dole whip recipe that comes the closest to the real deal.. here is what I have come up with. .Since I have a VITAMIX blending is no object.. I currently use a half a can of Dole crushed pineapple and half that juice.. over the top of that I put about a half a cup of Redi whip.. and a tablespoon of Vanilla ..and then put an equal to the crushed pineapple worth of FROZEN DOLE PINEAPPLE.. and blend it to about the same consistency as a Dole whip.. about a minute or minute and a half depending upon your machine.. the color taste and texture are just about perfect but each batch is different.. the taste seems to be spot on..
