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.

Silly question, perhaps, but what is Dry Dream Whip? I’m itching to make me some of this as soon as I know what Dream Whip is.

When I was in Minneapolis last summer, I ran across a DQ/Orange Julius combo store. I couldn’t pass up a large version of this drink. Soooo tasty.

I just cannot WAIT to try this recipe. I’ve been trying to find a good one for years . . . since the 80s in fact! Love these and many thanks for sharing! Roz

I made this today to soothe my sore throat….what great comfort food! Loved it!!! Super easy…took 2 minutes and so fun. I made it with Minute Made 1/2 calorie OJ….wasn’t sure how well that would work, but it tastes great! thanks!

Creamy and delicious! As usual, we love your recipes Brandie! I agree with nikralt – I think this might be better than the original. I’ve made 4 batches of this already this weekend. My husband is insisting I make more for tonight for our Super Bowl party (along with your delicious hot wings!).
Why don’t you have a blog yet?!?! Please keep posting all your yummy recipes…we love them here in Louisiana.

This tastes just like I remember! So, so very good!! I served it to a bunch of friends at a get together and everyone raved about how delicious they were. Thanks so much for sharing this!
