Ingredients

Scale

Primary Ingredients

  • 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk, chilled overnight
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, washed, hulled, and roughly chopped
  • 2–3 tablespoons maple syrup or agave nectar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberries: Wash and hull about two cups of fresh strawberries, then chop them roughly. Optionally, blend them to your preferred consistency—pureed for smoothness or slightly chunky for texture.
  2. Whip the Coconut Milk: Chill a can of full-fat coconut milk overnight. Scoop out the solid cream into a bowl, leaving the liquid behind. Whisk it on high speed until fluffy and light, mimicking traditional whipped cream.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Gently fold the pureed strawberries, maple syrup or agave nectar, vanilla extract, and fresh lemon juice into the whipped coconut cream. Mix carefully to keep the mixture airy and well combined.
  4. Freeze Without Churning: Pour the mixture into a loaf pan or airtight container and smooth the surface. Freeze for at least 4-6 hours until firm. Stir gently every hour if you want to avoid large ice crystals and maintain scoopability.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Scoop and serve immediately once frozen. If too hard, let sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften for easier scooping.

Notes

  • Use only full-fat coconut milk for the richest, creamiest texture; light versions won’t work as well.
  • Chill all ingredients beforehand for better whipping and a smoother final product.
  • Stir the ice cream hourly during freezing to avoid icy chunks and enhance creaminess.
  • Select ripe, fresh strawberries for the best natural sweetness and vibrant color.
  • Store the ice cream in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn and absorb unwanted odors.
