Two clear glass cups filled with soft serve pink ice cream swirled smoothly from bottom to top. The cup in the front shows thick, creamy layers with a textured swirl pattern, rising in a tall, pointed peak. The cup in the back has a similar swirl pattern but is topped with a single bright red strawberry, adding a pop of color.

  3. Step 3: Add the vanilla almond milk and honey (if using), and blend again until everything is fully incorporated and smooth.
  4. Step 4: If the mixture is too thick, add a little more almond milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.

Tips & Variations

  • Try using different frozen fruits like mango, peach, or mixed berries for new flavor combinations.
  • Use coconut or soy milk instead of almond milk to keep it dairy-free.
  • Add a squeeze of fresh lemon or lime juice for a tangier taste.
  • Let kids pick their favorite fruits to customize their own whip.

Storage

Store leftover Dole Whip in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week. To serve, thaw for a few minutes at room temperature and stir or blend briefly to restore the creamy texture. Reheat is not recommended as it changes the texture.

How to Serve

Can I use fresh strawberries instead of frozen?

Is this recipe vegan-friendly?
