Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- 2 cups frozen strawberries
- 1/2 cup frozen pineapple chunks
- 1/2 banana, sliced and frozen
Liquid
- 1/2 cup coconut milk (or pineapple juice for a lighter version)
Optional Additions
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- Juice of 1/2 lime (optional, for brightness)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the frozen strawberries, pineapple chunks, frozen banana slices, and coconut milk to a high-speed blender or food processor.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure even blending.
- Add Sweetener and Lime Juice: If you prefer a sweeter or tangier taste, add the honey or maple syrup and juice of half a lime, then blend again until fully incorporated.
- Serve Soft-Serve Style: For a soft-serve texture, serve immediately by scooping or piping the whip into bowls or cups.
- Freeze for Firmer Texture: For a scoopable, firmer texture, freeze the whip for 1 hour before serving.
- Add Toppings: Optionally, top with fresh strawberries, coconut flakes, or a drizzle of honey for extra flavor and garnish.
Notes
- This treat is dairy-free, vegan, and gluten-free, making it suitable for various dietary preferences.
- You can customize the fruit mix with any tropical fruits to your taste.
- To achieve the classic Dole Whip swirl, use a piping bag with a star tip to serve.
- Use pineapple juice instead of coconut milk for a lighter version with fewer calories.
