Instructions
- Combine frozen strawberries, pineapple juice, powdered sugar, coconut milk, and lemon juice in a blender.
- Blend on high speed until completely smooth and creamy. Add a little more pineapple juice or coconut milk if needed to reach your desired consistency.
- Transfer the mixture to a piping bag (or a ziplock bag with a corner snipped off).
- Pipe into serving bowls or glasses, creating a beautiful swirl.
- For a soft-serve texture, enjoy immediately! For a firmer consistency, freeze for a couple of hours.
- Garnish with fresh strawberries or a sprinkle of powdered sugar before serving.
Keto & Low-Carb Variations
Enjoy Dole Whip even on a keto or low-carb diet! Here’s how:
- Sweetener Swap: Use a keto-friendly sweetener like stevia or erythritol instead of powdered sugar. Adjust to taste.
- Juice Alternative: Reduce sugar by using unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk instead of pineapple juice.
- Berry Bliss (or Avocado!): Experiment with frozen mixed berries or even avocado for a creamy twist. Adjust sweetness accordingly.
Tips for Dole Whip Success
- Use ripe, sweet strawberries for the best flavor (fresh or frozen).
- Adjust sweetness to your preference.
- Get creative with toppings! Chocolate shavings, chopped nuts, or fresh mint add extra flair.
- No blender? A food processor or even a hand mixer works, just make sure it’s super smooth!
