Ingredients
Scale
Main Fruits:
- 3 cups frozen strawberries
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice
Liquid and Sweeteners:
- 1/2 cup coconut milk (or almond milk for a lighter version)
- 3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Gather all fresh ingredients and ensure they are chilled or frozen, particularly the strawberries, which will create the signature texture of this refreshing dessert.
- Place frozen strawberries into a powerful blender, carefully adding pineapple juice, coconut milk, honey, lemon juice, and vanilla extract to create a harmonious base.
- Activate the blender at high speed, processing the mixture until completely smooth and free of fruit chunks, periodically pausing to scrape down the container’s sides.
- If the consistency appears too dense, gradually introduce additional pineapple juice or coconut milk to facilitate smoother blending and achieve the ideal creamy texture.
- Once the mixture reaches a silky, uniform consistency, immediately transfer the whip into serving vessels, using a piping bag for an elegant soft-serve presentation in bowls or cones.
- For those preferring a more solidified treat, carefully pour the blended mixture into a freezer-safe container and allow it to set for 1-2 hours, creating a delightfully firm frozen dessert.
- Before serving the chilled version, let the whip rest at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly, ensuring optimal scoopability and maintaining its luxurious, velvety character.
Notes
- Achieve a perfectly smooth texture by allowing frozen strawberries to soften slightly at room temperature for 2-3 minutes before blending.
- Customize sweetness by adjusting honey levels or replacing with alternative sweeteners like agave syrup or maple syrup for different dietary preferences.
- Use full-fat coconut milk for a richer, creamier consistency and enhance the tropical flavor profile of the dessert.
- Transform this recipe into a vegan-friendly treat by ensuring all ingredients are plant-based and free from animal products.
