Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 3 ounces pureed watermelon juice ( (that’s been strained through a sieve))
  • 1 & 1/2 cups vanilla ice cream
  • 2 cups frozen seedless watermelon chunks
  • 1 tablespoon sugar ((optional depending on the sweetness of your watermelon))
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
  • splash of lemon juice
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients: Combine all the ingredients in a blender (in the order listed); blend until smooth and ultra creamy, pushing down the frozen watermelon chunks if necessary, about 2 minutes.
  2. Freeze mixture: Freeze the mixture for about 40 minutes (or until firm, but not completely solid), then transfer to a piping bag with a 1M “star” tip (to get that iconic Dole Whip swirl.)
  3. Swirl and garnish: Swirl into dessert glasses. Sprinkle with some mini chocolate chips.
  4. Freeze to hold shape: To help the soft-serve hold its shape longer, freeze the swirled whip another 20-30 minutes.
  5. Serve: Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Sugar is optional depending on the sweetness of your watermelon.
  • Use a piping bag with a 1M “star” tip to get the iconic Dole Whip swirl.
  • Freezing the swirled whip longer helps it hold its shape.
