A creamy, refreshing frozen strawberry treat with bright fruit flavor and a soft-serve-like texture. It takes only a few simple ingredients and is perfect for a hot day!

Yield: 3–4 servings
Prep time: 5 minutes
Freeze/blend time: 5–10 minutes
Total time: About 10–15 minutes
Difficulty: Very easy

🛒 Ingredients

• 4 cups (600 g) frozen strawberries
• ½ cup (120 ml) pineapple juice
• ½ cup (120 g) plain Greek yogurt
• 2–3 tbsp honey or maple syrup, to taste
• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• 2–4 tbsp milk, only if needed for blending

Optional

• Fresh strawberries for topping
• Small mint leaves for garnish
• A little whipped cream

 Instructions

1. Add the ingredients

Place the frozen strawberries, pineapple juice, Greek yogurt, honey, lemon juice, and vanilla into a high-powered blender or food processor.

2. Blend

Blend on high, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides.

The mixture should become thick, creamy, and smooth.

3. Adjust the texture

If the blender is struggling, add milk 1 tablespoon at a time. Try not to add too much liquid because the Dole Whip should remain thick.

4. Taste

Taste the mixture and add a little more honey if you want it sweeter or a little more lemon juice for extra brightness.

5. Serve immediately

For a soft-serve texture, spoon or pipe the strawberry Dole Whip into bowls or cups immediately after blending.

6. Optional firmer texture

For a firmer frozen dessert, place it in the freezer for 20–30 minutes, then scoop and serve.

 Tips for the Best Strawberry Dole Whip

• Use fully frozen strawberries for the thickest texture.
• A high-powered blender or food processor works best.
• Add liquid gradually.
• Don’t let the strawberries thaw completely before blending.
• For a smoother result, use Greek yogurt rather than regular yogurt.
• If the mixture becomes too soft, freeze it briefly before serving.

 Easy Variations

 Strawberry-Pineapple

Add ½ cup frozen pineapple and reduce the strawberries slightly.

 Tropical

Replace the milk with a little coconut milk.

 Extra Fresh

Add additional lemon zest or lemon juice.

 Dairy-Free

Use dairy-free yogurt and plant-based milk.

 Strawberry Banana

Add ½ frozen banana for extra creaminess and sweetness.

 Nut Information

The basic recipe contains no peanuts or tree nuts.

For a nut-free preparation, use dairy milk or a nut-free plant milk.

If using packaged dairy-free yogurt or plant milk, check the label for peanut/tree-nut ingredients and cross-contact warnings, especially when preparing it for someone with a serious allergy.

 Recipe Q&A

Can I use fresh strawberries?

Yes, but frozen strawberries give the Dole Whip its thick frozen texture. If using fresh strawberries, freeze them first.

Can I make it without yogurt?

Yes. The yogurt adds creaminess and tang, but you can substitute a little coconut cream or another creamy dairy-free alternative.

Can I use frozen strawberries without pineapple juice?

Yes. You can use apple juice, orange juice, or a small amount of milk instead, although pineapple juice gives it a tropical flavor.

Why is my Dole Whip too runny?

Too much liquid is usually the reason. Add more frozen strawberries and blend again, or freeze the mixture briefly.

Why won’t my blender blend it?

Stop the blender, scrape down the sides, and add liquid 1 tablespoon at a time. A food processor can also work very well.

Can I make it ahead?

Yes. You can freeze it in an airtight container, but it will become considerably firmer. Let it sit at room temperature for several minutes before scooping.

How long can I store it?

For best texture and flavor, enjoy it within 1–2 weeks when stored tightly covered in the freezer.

Can I use another sweetener?

Yes. Adjust the sweetness according to your preference.
