Strawberry Dole Whip: A Refreshing and Healthy Treat

If you’re a fan of the iconic Disney Dole Whip and looking for a fruity, refreshing version you can make at home, this Strawberry Dole Whip is a perfect choice. Made with frozen strawberries, a splash of creamy milk, and a touch of lemon juice for tang, this treat is not only delicious but also incredibly easy to whip up. Plus, it’s a healthy option with no refined sugar, unless you choose to add a bit of honey for extra sweetness!

Ingredients:

• 2 cups sliced or whole frozen strawberries (or raspberries)
• ¼ – ⅓ cup milk of your choice (canned coconut milk recommended for a creamy texture)
• 1-2 teaspoons fresh-squeezed lemon juice
• Tiny pinch of salt (Redmond’s salt recommended)
• Optional: 2 teaspoons honey

Directions:

1. Blend the Ingredients: In a high-powered blender, combine the frozen strawberries, lemon juice, milk, salt, and honey (if using).
2. Adjust as Needed: Blend on low for a few minutes, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides or move the berries around to ensure smooth blending. If necessary, add a bit more milk to reach your desired consistency.
3. Finish Blending: Continue blending until the mixture is fully combined and creamy, resembling a soft-serve texture.
4. Serve Immediately: For a fun and fancy presentation, pour the Strawberry Dole Whip into a cup or use a frosting bag to pipe it into serving cups. Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh, fruity flavors!

Recipe Tips:

• Frozen Berries: For the best texture, make sure your strawberries (or raspberries) are fully frozen before blending. This helps achieve the creamy, soft-serve consistency that makes Dole Whip so popular.
• Sweeten to Taste: If your strawberries are naturally sweet, you may not need honey. However, for an added touch of sweetness, you can mix in 1-2 teaspoons of honey.
• Alternative Milk Options: While canned coconut milk provides a rich and creamy texture, feel free to use other plant-based or dairy milk options, like almond milk or whole milk, depending on your preference.
