## FAQs
1. **What can I use instead of coconut milk?**
You can use almond milk, soy milk, or regular dairy milk instead of coconut milk.
2. **Can I use fresh strawberries instead of frozen?**
Frozen strawberries are preferred as they give the Dole Whip a creamy, thick consistency. However, if you are using fresh strawberries, freeze them before.
3. **Can I store the Dole Whip in the fridge instead of the freezer?**
Storing it in the fridge will make the consistency more like a smoothie than a whip. It’s best to store this dessert in the freezer if you have leftovers.
