Frozen Strawberry Dole Whip Delight (Printable)
A creamy, refreshing frozen treat with sweet-tart strawberry flavor 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
→ Creamy Base
04 - 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk (carton, not canned)
→ Sweetener
05 - 2-3 tablespoons maple syrup or agave syrup, to taste
→ Optional
06 - 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
# Directions:
01 - Place frozen strawberries, frozen banana, pineapple juice, coconut milk, maple syrup, and lemon juice (if using) into a high-powered blender or food processor.
02 - Blend on high, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed, until completely smooth and creamy.
03 - Taste and adjust sweetness if desired by adding more syrup.
04 - Serve immediately for a soft-serve texture, or transfer to a container and freeze for 30-60 minutes for a firmer consistency. Scoop into bowls or cones.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The combination of frozen strawberries and banana creates that impossibly creamy texture without any dairy or artificial ingredients
- It comes together in literally ten minutes, which means instant gratification when the heat hits
- You can customize the sweetness and make it as tart or sweet as your family prefers
02 -
- Your blender needs to be powerful enough to break through frozen fruit, or you will end up with chunky bits instead of that silky smooth texture
- Working quickly is essential since the frozen fruit starts melting the moment it hits room temperature ingredients
- Stopping to scrape down the sides prevents those annoying pockets of unblended fruit that ruin the experience
03 -
- Freeze your banana slices on a parchment-lined tray first so they do not stick together in one solid clump
- If your blender is struggling, add just one more tablespoon of pineapple juice to help things along
- Pre-chill your serving bowls in the freezer for 15 minutes to keep the dessert colder longer
