FAQs
Can I use fresh berries instead of frozen?
Using fresh berries will result in a thinner consistency. For best results, freeze fresh berries beforehand to achieve the classic Dole Whip texture.
What kind of milk works best in this recipe?
Canned coconut milk is ideal for creaminess and flavor, but you can use any milk you prefer, including dairy or plant-based alternatives like almond or oat milk. Adjust the quantity for desired thickness.
