Scale
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen strawberries
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Prepare frozen strawberries: Place 2 cups of frozen strawberries into a blender or food processor to create the base of the Dole Whip.
- Add pineapple juice: Pour 1 cup of pineapple juice into the blender with the frozen strawberries to add sweetness and liquid for blending.
- Add coconut milk: Pour in 1/2 cup of coconut milk to give the mixture a creamy texture and tropical flavor.
- Add sugar: Add 2 tablespoons of sugar to sweeten the mixture to your taste.
- Add lemon juice: Squeeze in 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice to introduce a subtle tang and enhance the fruit flavors.
- Blend ingredients: Blend all ingredients together on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Scrape down sides: Stop the blender and scrape down the sides to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed.
- Check consistency: Once blended smooth, check the texture of the Dole Whip.
- Adjust thickness: If the mixture is too thick, gradually add more pineapple juice and blend again until the desired smoothness is reached.
- Serve: Serve the strawberry Dole Whip immediately for a soft-serve consistency.
- Optional presentation: For a classic look, spoon the swirl into a piping bag and pipe it into a cup.
- Freeze for firmer texture: If preferred, place the Dole Whip in the freezer for a short time to achieve a firmer texture before serving.
Notes
- Use frozen strawberries to ensure the Dole Whip has the right icy texture without needing to cook or chill extensively.
- You can adjust sugar amount depending on the sweetness of your fruit and personal preference.
- Additional pineapple juice can be added to thin the mixture if blending is difficult or if the texture is too thick.
- Serve immediately for a soft-serve like treat, or freeze for 30-60 minutes for a firmer, ice cream-like texture.
- This recipe is naturally dairy-free and can be made vegan by using plant-based milk options like coconut milk.
