Creating Strawberry Dole Whip is simple if you follow these straightforward steps:

1. Prep the Strawberries: If using fresh strawberries, wash, hull, and slice them. If using frozen, allow them to thaw slightly.

2. Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine the strawberries, coconut milk, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.

3. Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy. Stop to scrape down the sides if necessary.

4. Adjust Sweetness: Taste the mixture and adjust the level of sugar according to your preference. Blend again if needed.

5. Serve Immediately (for soft serve): You can enjoy your Strawberry Dole Whip immediately for a soft-serve texture.

6. Optional Freezing for Firmness: If you prefer a firmer texture, transfer the mixture into an airtight container and freeze for about 1-2 hours.

7. Serve: If frozen, allow it to thaw for a few minutes at room temperature before serving to make scooping easier.

By following these steps, you’ll create a smooth and delicious Strawberry Dole Whip that’s sure to please!
