Fresh strawberries and milk are all you need to make this delicious no bake strawberry dessert. Our Strawberry Dole Whip recipe is a twist on the popular pineapple dole whip treat at Disney World. Kids and adults alike are sure to love digging into this healthy treat!
What is dole whip?
Dole whip is a frozen, dairy-free dessert made by Dole pineapple in the 1980s, originally exclusively for Disneyland. It started as a pineapple-flavored treat, but since then has been made in a variety of different delicious flavors, including strawberry dole whip!
One of the best things about dole whip is that it’s a no bake dessert recipe. No bake desserts mean you spend less time in the kitchen and less time cleaning up, since you don’t have to turn the oven on. That gives you more time to enjoy eating dessert instead of baking or cleaning up after it. I like that!
Using fresh fruit in a no bake dessert is a no-brainer because the fresh fruit helps you cut down on how much sugar you use as a sweetener. Desserts have to be sweet, after all, and fresh fruit is a much healthier choice than added sugar.
In our strawberry dole whip recipe, we don’t add any extra sweetness. You don’t need to! The natural sweetness of fresh strawberries provides all the sweetness you need for this no bake dessert recipe. However, when you make this recipe, be sure to give it a taste. If you want it to be a bit sweeter, that’s when you should add your preferred sweetener.
Dole Whip Ingredients
Strawberry dole whip is a refreshing dessert or snack recipe both kids and adults will enjoy. Because this recipe uses fresh strawberries and almond milk, it is a healthy no bake dessert option you can feel good about serving your family.
You’ll also LOVE how EASY this recipe is to make! All you need is frozen fresh strawberries, unsweetened almond milk, a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors, and a blender to blend everything into a creamy, dreamy frozen dessert.
- 1 lb fresh strawberries hulled, sliced, and frozen
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1 pinch salt
- Coconut palm sugar or other sweetener of your choice, optional
Recipe Tip: I hull and slice the strawberries and stick them in the freezer for about 30 minutes to an hour before using in this recipe. That way, you don’t need ice for it to be a frozen dessert. Ice waters down the flavor, so it’s worth the effort to freeze the strawberries prior to making this recipe.
How to Make Dole Whip
Dole whip is an incredibly easy dessert recipe to make! Once you have your frozen strawberries and other ingredients ready, just follow these two simple steps to make strawberry dole whip:
