🔪 How to Make Dole Whip Shot
This recipe takes only a few minutes of active work: dissolve gelatin, mix the other ingredients, then chill until firm.
Step 1: Dissolve the Gelatin
Combine boiling water and gelatin in a medium bowl, stirring until completely dissolved. Let it sit 3–4 minutes to cool slightly.
Step 2: Add the Remaining Ingredients
Stir in the whipped vodka, pineapple tequila, pineapple juice, and condensed milk until smooth and evenly combined.
Step 3: Chill
Pour the mixture into condiment cups or Jello shot glasses. Refrigerate for 3–4 hours, or until firm. Finish with a dollop of whipped cream and a small pineapple wedge before serving.
📝 Variations
Customize the flavor to suit your taste:
- Coconut twist — use coconut rum or plain vodka in place of whipped vodka for a pineapple-coconut combination.
- Banana note — substitute banana liqueur for the pineapple tequila to create a pineapple-banana whip shot.
🥄 Equipment
- Measuring cups
- Mixing bowl
- Saucepan or microwave-safe bowl (for boiling water)
- Spoon or whisk
- Condiment or Jello shot cups
🥫 Storage
Keep prepared shots refrigerated for 3–5 days. Store covered to maintain freshness and prevent odors from transferring.
💭 Tips
- Make sure the gelatin is fully dissolved in the hot water before adding other ingredients.
- Allow the gelatin mixture to cool a few minutes so the alcohol and condensed milk don’t break down the gelatin.
- Chill overnight for the best texture and convenience when serving.
⁉️ FAQ
Answers to common questions about Dole Whip shots:
A Dole Whip is a soft-serve pineapple-flavored frozen dessert known for its creamy, tropical taste.
They need time in a cold refrigerator to set properly; there’s no reliable quick method.
Freezing can create ice and alter the texture, so it’s not recommended to speed up setting.
Alcohol content varies by recipe, but generally several Jello shots equal one standard drink; about four shots often contain the alcohol of one regular shot.
