Description
This Strawberry Dole Whip is a creamy, fruity frozen dessert made with pineapple juice, frozen strawberries, and vanilla ice cream. It blends into a smooth and refreshing treat with bright berry flavor and a tropical pineapple finish, perfect for warm days or quick desserts.
Ingredients
- 4–6 ounces pineapple juice
- 2 cups frozen strawberries (about 9 ounces)
- 1/2 cup vanilla ice cream
- 1–2 teaspoons sugar or honey (optional)
- 1 tablespoon extra pineapple juice if needed for blending (optional)
Instructions
- Add the pineapple juice to a high-powered blender first.
- Add the frozen strawberries and vanilla ice cream.
- Blend on high until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides if needed.
- For a thicker texture, use only 4 ounces of pineapple juice. For a thinner texture, use 6 ounces.
- Taste the mixture and add sugar or honey if desired, then blend again.
- Serve immediately in cups or bowls.
- For a soft-serve presentation, transfer the mixture to a piping bag and swirl into serving glasses.
Notes
- Frozen strawberries work best for the signature thick and icy texture.
- Add pineapple juice gradually if the blender struggles.
- Use dairy-free vanilla ice cream or frozen coconut cream for a dairy-free version.
- For extra tropical flavor, add frozen pineapple chunks.
- This dessert is best enjoyed immediately after blending.
- Store leftovers in the freezer and re-blend before serving for the best texture.
- Adjust sweetness depending on how ripe or tart the strawberries are.
