Strawberry Ice Cream

Hooray!  Warm weather is here.  At least, in Texas it is.  So it’s time to start breaking out the ice cream maker.  I already have a Cookie Dough Ice Cream and a 5 Minute Banana Ice Cream on the blog.  Now it’s time to add another: Strawberry Ice Cream. Who doesn’t like strawberry ice cream? I know I love all things ice cream, especially strawberry ice cream.

I use canned coconut milk as a base for all my ice cream recipes for a few reasons.  It has that rich taste and mouth feel of real ice cream and it is dairy free.  I have tried using just nut milk, but it never comes out as creamy.  Since this is so rich tasting, a little bit will satisfy you.  You can use either fresh or frozen strawberries for this.  We used fresh organic strawberries since they were on sale the other day at Whole Foods.  They were so sweet and yummy!  Most store bought ice creams contain carrageenan and other unwanted additives.  The organic stuff is always so expensive.  The ice cream maker is pretty affordable and you make your money back pretty quick.  Plus, you can create your own flavors! 🙂

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Mix the coconut milk, vanilla bean and the sweetener in a bowl.
  2. Pour the contents in the ice cream maker. I used my Cuisinart.
  3. When the ice cream starts looking like it is coming together (after about 15 minutes), add the strawberries.
  4. The ice cream will be more of a soft serve consistency. If you like harder ice cream, you can stick it in the freezer for another 1 1/2 hours. That’s it. Enjoy!

  1. I love your blog and recipes and have tried many...i have learned so much...Have one question...I have problems digesting fat and do not you coconut milk...Can I substitute either soy or almond milk in the ice cream recipes?...
  2. Sorry to bug you again! I bought the type of organic coconut milk you use (at Whole Foods) and noticed the same company had a reduced fat/reduced calorie organic version. The difference in fat/calories was pretty dramatic. I bought the original, but was wondering if you've ever tried the "reduced" option, or whether you think it would work or not. Thanks
    1. I haven't tried it, because low fat foods usually are more processed and often have more sugar and chemical thickeners added.
      1. Hmmmm. I don't remember it having a lot of extra ingredients. I'll have to remember to double check next time at whole foods. It was still the Thai Kitchen and Organic, just reduced
  3. Your pics look delish - waah, why am I not eating this right now??? I might go crazy and try it with light coconut milk, although I know there's a good chance it won't be as creamy. Thanks for sharing this great idea!
  4. i just made this icecream and i cannot believe how good it is and i am an icecream snob who has decided to cut dairy i have tried store brand coconut icecream and it was just okay but this is great now i can have my ice cream and be healthier to thanks
  5. My son a daughter-in-law bought me an ice cream maker for Mother's Day. I just made your Strawberry ice cream and it is delicious! Thank you for all the great recipes you post!
  6. also is it okay to use this type of coconut milk because of the guar gum, i did research and it is derived from a vegetable that is good for lowering the ldl cholestrol and glucose. But studies show that it can cause increased gas and abdominal discomfort. Being that i have ibs i was just wondering would this effect me like regular dairy icecream does?
    1. I am not sure if it would cause discomfort. I have mild IBS and I haven't had any issues with the coconut milk.
