Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups frozen strawberries
  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice


Instructions

  1. Prepare the strawberries: Place 2 cups of frozen strawberries into a blender or food processor, ensuring they are packed but not overly compacted to allow smooth blending.
  2. Add pineapple juice: Pour 1 cup of pineapple juice into the blender with the frozen strawberries to provide a tropical sweetness and blendable texture.
  3. Incorporate coconut milk: Add 1/2 cup of coconut milk to add creaminess and richness to the mixture.
  4. Sweeten the mix: Add 2 tablespoons of sugar to balance the tartness of the strawberries and pineapple juice.
  5. Add tartness: Squeeze in 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice to enhance the flavor with a subtle citrus tang.
  6. Blend ingredients: Blend all the ingredients together on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, typically about 1-2 minutes.
  7. Scrape the sides: Stop the blender and scrape down the sides if necessary to incorporate any unmixed pieces.
  8. Check consistency: Once blended, examine the texture; it should be creamy but thick enough to hold its shape.
  9. Adjust texture if needed: If the mixture is too thick, add a little more pineapple juice and blend again to reach desired softness.
  10. Serve immediately: Pour or scoop the Dole Whip into serving cups and enjoy right away for the best texture.
  11. Optional presentation: For a traditional soft serve look, transfer the mixture into a piping bag and pipe it into cups or cones.
  12. Freeze if preferred: If a firmer, more sorbet-like texture is preferred, place the Dole Whip in the freezer for 30 minutes to 1 hour before serving.

Notes

  • This recipe is dairy-free and perfect for those avoiding lactose.
  • Adjust the sugar amount based on your preference and sweetness of pineapple juice.
  • For a smoother texture, make sure to blend long enough and scrape down the sides.
  • Serve immediately for soft serve texture or freeze longer for a firmer consistency.
  • You can substitute frozen pineapple chunks for some of the strawberries to increase pineapple flavor.
