Strawberry Dole Whip
Ingredients
1 pound frozen strawberries
1/2 cup coconut milk (or any other milk of your choice)
2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Prepare Strawberries:
If using whole frozen strawberries, allow them to thaw slightly for about 10 minutes to make blending easier.
Blend Ingredients:
In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the frozen strawberries, coconut milk, honey or maple syrup (if using), lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
Blend Until Smooth:
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender or food processor a few times to ensure everything is well mixed.
Adjust Consistency:
If the mixture is too thick, add a little more coconut milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
Serve Immediately:
Serve the Strawberry Dole Whip immediately for a soft-serve texture. You can scoop it into bowls or pipe it using a piping bag with a star tip for a classic soft-serve look.
Optional Freezing:
If you prefer a firmer texture, transfer the Dole Whip to an airtight container and freeze for about 1-2 hours. Stir occasionally to maintain a smooth texture.
Garnish and Enjoy:
Garnish with fresh strawberries or a mint leaf if desired. Enjoy your refreshing and delicious Strawberry Dole Whip!
