Ingredients:
- 2 cups frozen strawberries
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup coconut milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (for extra creaminess)
Instructions:
- Blend Ingredients:
- In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the frozen strawberries, pineapple juice, coconut milk, sugar, and vanilla extract. If using Greek yogurt, add it here as well.
- Blend Until Smooth:
- Blend the mixture until it is completely smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender or processor to ensure everything is well combined.
- Adjust Sweetness:
- Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness if needed by adding more sugar.
- Serve Immediately:
- For a soft-serve consistency, serve the Dole Whip immediately. Spoon it into bowls or cones.
- For a Firmer Texture:
- If you prefer a firmer texture, transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container and freeze for about 30 minutes to an hour. Stir occasionally to break up any ice crystals.
- Garnish (Optional):
- Garnish with fresh strawberries, mint leaves, or a sprinkle of coconut flakes if desired.
Tips:
- Frozen Strawberries: Use strawberries that are frozen for the best texture. If you use fresh strawberries, you might need to add ice or adjust the liquid to achieve the right consistency.
- Blender Efficiency: A high-speed blender works best for achieving a creamy texture. If you don’t have one, you may need to blend in batches and stir to combine.
- Sugar Alternatives: You can use honey, agave syrup, or a sugar substitute if you prefer.
