I know everybody has their version of the Disney favorite, Dole Whip. I absolutely have to have one every time I go to Disney. After I made a batch of French Cream, I was looking for ways to use it as more than just a fruit dip. Since it has pineapple juice in it and the taste reminded me of a Dole Whip, I decided to turn it into an ice cream and create a creamy delicious pineapple float drink.
This float with pineapple juice is perfect to have at a summer birthday party. It’s tropical, fruity and creamy all at the same time. Did I mention delicious, too? The kids will LOVE it! Nate and the kids all loved taste testing this one. The first thing you must do is make a batch of French Cream, and then turn it into a no churn ice cream.
I used the same method to make French Cream Ice Cream as I did when I made the no churn Twix ice cream. The secret is in using sour cream to thicken the sweetened condensed milk.
The only difference I found when making French Cream Ice Cream is the need to freeze the ice cream longer. I think this is due to the cream cheese in French Cream. It took about 8 hours to harden.
Once the ice cream is ready, you can eat it by itself or make the Pineapple French Cream Float. It’s super yummy. I like to let it melt a bit and then use my straw to mix it all up for extra creaminess.
