Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 can (14 ounces) coconut milk, full fat
- 1/2 cup maple syrup or agave nectar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the strawberries: Hull and slice your fresh strawberries. Toss them into a mixing bowl, and if you’d like, sprinkle a tablespoon of maple syrup over them. Let sit for 10-15 minutes.
- Blend the mixture: Add the macerated strawberries, along with the coconut milk, maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt into a blender. Blend on high until smooth and creamy.
- Taste test: Always taste your mixture before it’s frozen and adjust sweetness or acidity as needed.
- Chill the base: Pour the blended mixture into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for about 60 minutes.
- Churn it up: Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to instructions (usually 20-25 minutes). If using a shallow container, freeze and stir every 30 minutes.
- Transfer and freeze: Transfer to an airtight container and freeze for at least 240 minutes, or until firm.
- Scoop and enjoy: Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before scooping, then serve as desired.

For added flavors, consider variations like berry medley, coconut crunch, or a chocolate swirl.
