Copycat Orange Julius

Apple Cake

This delectable Apple Cake has a slightly crunchy crust and a soft moist center that is loaded with chunks of sweet apple and pecans. It is perfectly spiced with cinnamon, ground cloves and nutmeg. It is lightly drizzled with an easy four ingredient caramel sauce. I make this cake several times each fall for bake sales, potlucks and family and friend get-togethers.

Easy Ratatouille

This easy ratatouille recipe is a classic summer French stew filled with vibrant, colourful and nutritious vegetables: tomatoes, zucchini and eggplant. It is a low-carb, gluten-free and vegan dish that can be made in one pan and served atop greens or grains, as a side to a main entrée, or all on its own.

This was so, so, so delicious!! I had to go back and get more OJ and pudding mix because my kids loved it so much!! Not sure about the earlier comment about it being gritty. We didn’t find that to be the case at all. Maybe they didn’t blend it completely or maybe it was because they didn’t use the Dream Whip brand. I would definitely suggest they follow the directions to a “T’ and maybe they’ll have better results.
I’m definitely sharing this with friends…thanks again. I love all your recipes

I tried this as well tonight. Not exactly as I remembered…a bit more gritty– but still sooo good! I added some ice cubes as well just to keep it chilled and add froth. I too used the store brand Dream Whip. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

Tried this tonight. Not what I remembered an Orange Julius tasting like. I added some ice cubes and put it back in the blender, but something is still missing.

Hi Erin! Dream whip is a powder. It is usually found in the baking aisle of the grocery store near the jello-o and pudding mixes. You can use it to make all kinds of things. It’s nice to have on hand if you need to make a whipped topping in a pinch. There’s a great recipe on the box for a chocolate cream pie using dream whip. That’s really good too! Make sure you get the actual dream whip brand – I haven’t used store brands for this so I can’t really say how they would taste. Hope this helps and I really hope you like it.
