This Dole Whip Pineapple Gelatin Mold is a light and fluffy version of the beloved Dole Whip that your whole family will enjoy.
I know, I thought I was making Dole Whip treats as well.
But then it was 98F outside and I wanted something light and sweet.
A reader commented that they were surprised I didn’t turn Dole Whip into a Gelatin mold yet.
And I was like yes!
Why have I not done that?
Because the Jelly shots were awesome.
So is this by the way.
Thank you readers for suggesting I make this.
The Pacific Northwest is going through it’s chilly in the morning but then hot later on phase of summer.
It’s our last transition before fall.
So just a few more summer inspired treats coming your way.
Though really you can (and I will) eat this Dole Whip Pineapple Gelatin Mold year round.
You can make this in either a 9-x-13-inch pan or a Bundt but I usually go Bundt.
But I know some people worry about it coming out of the mold.
I do suggest lightly spraying some baking spray in the mold if you go that route.
I then take a paper towel and remove any of the extra build up the spray left.
Places like Walmart and Winco usually have the Island Pineapple gelatin.
If you can’t find it at a store there is a link for where I buy it on Amazon.
Between Gelatin Mold and Jelly shots this household buys a lot of gelatin.
If you don’t want to buy the soft serve ice cream powder I suggest adding an extra teaspoon of vanilla to the mix.
Though you won’t have that ice cream flavor.
Last but not least…it’s a great time to order my cookbook. 😀

Dole Whip Pineapple Jell-O Mold
Ingredients
- 2 (3 ounce) package Island Pineapple Jell-O
- 1 cup boiling pineapple juice
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 (8 ounce) can crush pineapple, drained
- 4 TBSP Vanilla Soft Serve MIx
- 1 cup Cream Soda Soda (I used Stewarts)
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 (8 ounce) carton of Cool Whip (or whipped cream)
Instructions
- Dissolve Jello in pineapple juice.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and vanilla until fluffy.
- Stir in Jello and beat until smooth. I usually put it in the blender to fully mix.
- Add pineapple, Vanilla Soft Serve Mix, and soda and mix until incorporated.
- Chill the mixture in refrigerator for about 30-40 minutes, so that when you lift it with a spoon it is clumpy.
- Fold in the Cool Whip and mini marshmallows.
- Pour into a 9-x-13-inch pan or Bundt pan.
- Refrigerate for 3-4 hours or until firm.
- If serving in pan, will make about 16 squares for 9-x13 pan or about 8 for a Bundt.

I big puffy heart love the way your recipe-developing mind works! Your recipes are always unique. I follow many recipe blogs (probably could benefit from a 12-step program) and I’ve started to notice that there are days when many of them will have virtually the same recipe, or at least there seems to be a theme going on. Makes me wonder if they’re even doing their own blogs. Do they have blog ghost writers? Is there some sort of service for recipe blog writers that suggests recipes? OK. Done venting now. Have a wonderful day! Keep being you.

You are correct in noticing that Cheryl. Some have ghost writers (or paid writing staff if they are big enough). But why you see that so often is because many bloggers spend money on websites that tell you what the trends are. Like it will tell you what pins on Pinterest are the most popular or same with Facebook. That blogger then goes and makes their own version (or just outright steals the recipe sometimes sadly). They do this because they are in blogging for money. So whatever can bring the most traffic, wins.
I never pay attention to trends. 🙂 I just do what a want in my rouge way. However, if you see a recipe similar to mine it’s most likely it was popular on a site and so someone took the idea to try and capitalize on it.

I see the pineapple juice now, but no mention of how much pineapple. Thanks!
Peabody says
It’s below the vanilla extract
Charlisa says
Hi! Love this recipe, but is there a substitute I can use for the 4 TBSP Vanilla Soft Serve Mix? I don’t have time to order it and it is not available at stores in my area.
Thank you!
Peabody says
You can try vanilla powder (the white powder not the brown) but it won’t have the ice cream flavor.
