Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 cups ripe strawberries, washed and hulled
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk, chilled overnight
  • ⅓ cup maple syrup or agave nectar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberries: Wash and hull about 2 cups of ripe strawberries. Blend them in a food processor or blender until smooth but still slightly textured to retain some freshness.
  2. Whip the Coconut Milk: Chill a can of full-fat coconut milk overnight. Scoop out the thick coconut cream (discard or save the watery part), and whip it using a hand mixer until fluffy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Gently fold the blended strawberries, ⅓ cup of maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt into the whipped coconut cream. Mix well to create a uniform, creamy batter.
  4. Freeze Without Churning: Pour the mixture into a lightly greased loaf pan or airtight container. Smooth the top with a spatula, cover, and freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until firm but scoopable.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Let your ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping. This makes it easier to serve and enhances the creamy texture.

Notes

  • Use fully chilled coconut milk: Cold coconut cream whips better, giving a lighter texture.
  • Sweetness adjustment: Taste the batter before freezing and adjust maple syrup if preferred sweeter.
  • Avoid watery texture: Use ripe, firm strawberries and drain excess liquid to prevent icy texture.
  • Gentle folding: Fold the strawberry puree carefully to retain the whipped texture without deflating it.
  • Storage container choice: Use a shallow, airtight container to speed up freezing and ease scooping.
