Skip the lines! Blend frozen strawberries, pineapple, rich coconut cream, and lime juice for this iconic, incredibly creamy whip. Quick five-minute dessert recipe. Full nutrition included.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups frozen strawberries
  • 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
  • 1/2 cup chilled full-fat coconut milk (use the thick cream part only)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (or maple syrup/agave to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon strawberry extract (optional, for intense flavor)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Place all ingredients (frozen strawberries, frozen pineapple, chilled coconut milk, sugar, lime juice, and extract) into a high-powered blender or food processor.
  2. Step 2: Begin blending on a low setting, pulsing initially to break up the large frozen chunks. Use the tamper accessory (if available) to push the ingredients down towards the blades, ensuring everything is incorporated.
  3. Step 3: Gradually increase the speed and continue blending, scraping down the sides as needed, until the mixture achieves a perfectly smooth, thick, soft-serve consistency. Avoid over-blending, which will make the mixture too liquidy.
  4. Step 4: If the mixture is too soft or runny for piping, transfer it to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 15 to 20 minutes to firm up slightly.
  5. Step 5: Transfer the Dole Whip mixture to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip (optional) and immediately pipe into serving bowls or glasses. Serve and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • If you have leftovers, freeze them immediately in an airtight container, and allow the mixture to temper on the counter for about 15 minutes before serving again for easier scooping.
  • When blending, prioritize using the tamper and pulsing over adding extra liquid; too much coconut milk will quickly turn your perfect soft-serve into a runny smoothie.
  • For an extra tropical punch, serve the Dole Whip garnished with fresh lime zest or a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes.
  • To ensure peak flavor, make sure you use only the thick, solidified coconut cream from the top of the can, leaving the watery part behind.
