Ingredients
  • 2 cups Frozen Strawberries
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) Full-Fat Coconut Milk
  • 1/4 cup Maple Syrup
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Prepare Coconut Milk

Refrigerate the can of full-fat coconut milk overnight. This will separate the cream from the liquid.

Scoop Coconut Cream

Scoop out only the thick coconut cream from the top of the refrigerated can, leaving the watery liquid behind. Place the coconut cream in a blender.

Add Other Ingredients

Add the frozen strawberries, maple syrup, lemon juice, and vanilla extract to the blender with the coconut cream.

Blend Until Smooth

Blend until completely smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender a few times.

Freeze

Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container. Cover and freeze for at least 3 hours, or until solid. Freezing time depends from the kind of freeze and its power.

Soften (Optional)

If the ice cream is too hard to scoop, let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly before serving.

FAQ

  • Can I use fresh strawberries instead of frozen?

    Frozen strawberries are recommended for a thicker, creamier texture. If using fresh strawberries, consider adding a handful of ice cubes to the blender.
  • Why do I need to refrigerate the coconut milk?

    Refrigerating the coconut milk allows the thick cream to separate from the liquid, which is essential for creating a creamy ice cream texture.
  • Can I add other fruits?

    Yes, blueberries, raspberries, or mangoes would be delicious additions. Adjust the sweetness as needed.
