Description

Enjoy a refreshing homemade Strawberry Dole Whip, a creamy and fruity dessert made with frozen strawberries and coconut milk. This easy recipe delivers a delightful soft-serve texture, perfect for warm days and satisfying sweet cravings!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups frozen strawberries
  • 1 cup coconut milk (full-fat for creaminess)
  • 1/4 cup sugar (or to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed for best flavor)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Gather Your Ingredients: Measure out all your ingredients and lay them out on the counter for easy access.
  2. Blend the Strawberries: In a high-speed blender, add the frozen strawberries. If using fresh strawberries, freeze them beforehand for the right texture.
  3. Add Coconut Milk: Pour in the coconut milk, preferably full-fat for a rich consistency.
  4. Sweeten It Up: Add sugar, adjusting to your taste preference.
  5. Flavor It: Mix in vanilla extract and freshly squeezed lime juice for a refreshing zing.
  6. Pinch of Salt: Add a pinch of salt to enhance the overall flavor.
  7. Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high speed until completely smooth, about 30 seconds to a minute. Scrape down the sides as needed.
  8. Check the Consistency: Ensure the mixture is thick and creamy. If too thick, add a little more coconut milk.
  9. Taste Test: Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or acidity as needed.
  10. Transfer to a Container: Pour the blended mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container.
  11. Freeze: Cover and freeze for 2-3 hours until firm but scoopable.
  12. Scoop the Dole Whip: Use an ice cream scoop or spoon to serve. Let it sit for a few minutes if too hard.
  13. Serve in Bowls or Cones: Enjoy in bowls or waffle cones for added crunch.
  14. Garnish (Optional): Top with fresh strawberries, mint, or chocolate sauce for a fun touch.
  15. Enjoy: Dig in and savor your homemade Strawberry Dole Whip!

Notes

  • If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the freezer. The texture may change slightly after freezing, so it’s best enjoyed fresh.
  • If the Dole Whip becomes too hard, re-blend it for a smoother consistency.
