Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen strawberries
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup coconut milk (or almond milk or regular milk)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Powdered sugar, to taste (optional)
Garnishes
- Fresh strawberries
- Shredded coconut
- Mint leaves
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberries: Ensure that the strawberries you use are frozen. If you only have fresh strawberries, chop them and place them in the freezer for a few hours until they are frozen solid to achieve the ideal texture for the whip.
- Blend the Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the frozen strawberries, pineapple juice, coconut milk, and lemon juice. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides to ensure even mixing.
- Sweeten if Desired: Taste the blended mixture and decide if you would like it sweeter. If so, add powdered sugar gradually to taste and blend again briefly to incorporate the sweetness evenly.
- Adjust Consistency: If the texture is too thick, add a splash more coconut milk or pineapple juice to loosen it up and blend again until you reach your desired creamy consistency.
- Serve and Garnish: Scoop the strawberry dole whip into bowls, cups, or cones. Garnish with fresh strawberries, shredded coconut, or mint leaves to add fresh flavor and a beautiful presentation. Serve immediately for the best texture and taste.
Notes
- Using frozen strawberries is key to achieving the creamy, soft-serve texture without needing ice cream or additional frozen ingredients.
- For a vegan or dairy-free version, use coconut or almond milk instead of regular milk.
- Adjust sweetness carefully; the natural fruit sugars often provide enough sweetness for a fresh taste.
- Serve immediately after blending as the whip will soften if left to sit.
- Feel free to experiment with other tropical juice substitutes for pineapple juice like orange juice for variation.
