Frozen Strawberry Dole Whip Delight (Printable Version)
A creamy frozen blend of strawberries, banana, and pineapple juice inspired by the classic Dole Whip.
# What You'll Need:
→ Fruit & Juice
01 - 3 cups frozen strawberries
02 - 1/2 cup pineapple juice, chilled
03 - 1 medium ripe banana, sliced and frozen

04 - 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk (carton, not canned)

05 - 2-3 tablespoons maple syrup or agave syrup, to taste
→ Optional
06 - 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
# How To Make It:
01 - Add frozen strawberries, frozen banana, pineapple juice, coconut milk, maple syrup, and lemon juice (if using) to a high-powered blender or food processor.
02 - Blend on high speed, stopping occasionally to scrape down sides, until completely smooth and creamy.
03 - Taste mixture and add additional syrup if desired.
04 - Serve immediately for soft-serve texture, or transfer to freezer-safe container and freeze 30-60 minutes for firmer consistency. Scoop into bowls or cones.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- It comes together in literally ten minutes with zero cooking, which is basically a kitchen miracle on hot days
- The texture is uncanny, like soft serve from an ice cream shop but completely dairy free and packed with real fruit
02 -
- Your blender might struggle at first, and the secret is patience with stopping to scrape down sides instead of just letting it run forever
- Letting it freeze too long makes it rock hard, so if you do freeze it longer than an hour, let it sit on the counter for 10 minutes before serving
03 -
- A high powered blender makes a huge difference here, but if you only have a regular one, let the frozen fruit sit out for about 5 minutes first
- Taste your mixture before you serve it, because frozen fruit varies in sweetness and tartness depending on the season
