How to Make Creamy Strawberry Dole Whip

1. Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine the frozen strawberries, pineapple juice, and vanilla ice cream. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
2. Check Consistency: If the mixture is too thick, add a bit more pineapple juice and blend again. It should be thick yet pourable—think soft-serve consistency!
3. Serve Immediately: Pour the mixture into bowls or glasses, and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
4. Optional Garnish: Top with a sprig of mint or a few slices of fresh strawberries for that extra touch of summer!

Helpful Tips

• Chill Your Glasses: Before serving, chill your glasses in the freezer for about 15 minutes. This small step helps keep your Dole Whip perfectly chilled as you enjoy it.
• Smooth Blending: To ensure a smooth consistency, make sure to blend thoroughly. Pause occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender.

Substitutions/Variations

• Dairy-Free Version: Easily make this Dole Whip dairy-free by substituting vanilla ice cream with a coconut milk or almond milk-based ice cream.
• Berry Bliss: Feel free to experiment with different berries. Blueberries or raspberries can add a lovely twist to the traditional recipe.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this ahead of time? It’s best served immediately, but you can freeze it for up to an hour before serving if needed.

What if I don’t have vanilla ice cream? You can use coconut cream or banana for a healthier version, but keep in mind it will alter the flavor slightly.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftover Dole Whip in an airtight container in the freezer. It’s best enjoyed within a day or two as it will harden significantly if left longer.
