Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Frozen strawberry base
  • 4 cup frozen strawberries
  • 0.5 cup full-fat coconut cream or heavy cream Use coconut cream for dairy-free soft serve.
  • 3 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.125 tsp salt A pinch
  • 1 fresh strawberries for garnish

Equipment

  • 1 high-powered blender
  • 1 food processor
  • 1 piping bag

Method
 

Freeze the strawberries
  1. Freeze the frozen strawberries until completely solid, at least 2 hours.
Blend into fluffy soft serve
  1. Add the frozen strawberries to a high-powered blender or food processor and blend, starting on low and increasing speed.
  2. Add the coconut cream or heavy cream, honey or maple syrup, fresh lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt while blending.
  3. Blend until completely smooth and fluffy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
  4. Check the texture: the mixture should be thick and creamy like soft serve; if too thick, blend in 1-2 tablespoons more cream.
Pipe and serve
  1. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
  2. Pipe into cups or cones in a tall swirl and serve immediately, then garnish with fresh strawberries.

Notes

For the most airy texture, freeze the strawberries until truly hard and blend immediately after freezing. Keep any leftover strawberry Dole Whip in a sealed container in the freezer for up to 1 week; let it sit at room temperature for 3–5 minutes before re-blending or re-piping. It does not freeze back to pipe-ready texture after long storage. For a dairy-free soft serve, use full-fat coconut cream in place of heavy cream.
