Well I did...
I bought an ice cream machine and have started making my own Dole Whip.

Ive only made a couple batches so far, but I'm impressed.
I got the Cuisinart ICE-20 at the local mall for $40

And what I think is the official Dole Whip mix from Unified Enterprises Corp in Hawaii.

The way it works is by freezing a liquid in a metal encased bowl, and then adding the mix to it while it churns and scrapes the frozen product off the sides as it hardens. I did knock the freezer down a few degrees too.

Im amazed by how close to the original I can make. It tastes perfect, and it's a little "fluffy" just like the real thing. I tried to freeze the leftovers, but that didnt turn out at all. It got way to hard. So from now on I have to eat thte whole batch in one sitting I guess Smile

Buy a house near DL or WDW and you could start your own business!

My wife just found out that you can make dole whips at home I see a soft serve machine in our future. Of course if that happens we will have to get the poly music going for effect. Very Happy

Im on my second bag of the Dole whip now Smile

Still enjoying as much as the first batch too.

I did sit down to the computer with a bowl of Dole Whip, and play Tiki Room music and watch a a slideshow of Adventureland pictures I put together. Almost as fun as the real thing... no, but not bad for being in my basement.
