Vegan Strawberry Ice Cream
Description
The vegan strawberry ice cream recipe combines a simple mixture of strawberries, full-fat coconut milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Using a blender, the ingredients are pureed smoothly before freezing. The coconut milk's richness supplies creaminess without dairy, and the sweetener maple syrup balances strawberry tartness.
The mixture is processed in an ice cream maker frozen bowl for about 30 to 35 minutes until thick and creamy. This churning process aerates the blend, improving texture and preventing ice crystals for a soft consistency. The strawberry flavor remains vibrant and natural due to the fresh or frozen berries.
Once churned, the ice cream can be served immediately when soft or stored in the freezer for up to three months. Expect it to firm up significantly when frozen long-term, but allowing it to warm slightly at room temperature makes scooping easier.
Nutrition is estimated per serving, emphasizing moderate portion sizes. This straightforward recipe uses few ingredients and is practical for making vegan frozen desserts at home without needing many specialty items.
Ingredients
- 1 pound strawberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 (14.5 oz) can coconut milk full-fat
- 1/2 cup maple syrup (155 grams)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5 grams)
Instructions
- Be sure to freeze the bowl of your ice cream maker at least 24 hours in advance, if your ice cream maker requires it. In a blender, combine the strawberries, coconut milk, maple syrup, and vanilla. Blend until very smooth.
- Pour the mixture into the frozen bowl of your ice cream machine, then process until thick and creamy, about 30 to 35 minutes.
- Once the strawberry ice cream is thick, it's ready to serve right away. You can store the leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. It will become harder to scoop when you freeze it overnight, but it will soften if you let it sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes first.
Notes
- Freeze the ice cream maker bowl at least 24 hours ahead if required for best churning results.
- Use either fresh or frozen strawberries based on availability and preference for flavor variation.
- Maple syrup sweetens naturally and can be adjusted to taste for sweetness level.
- Store leftovers airtight in the freezer for up to 3 months; soften at room temperature before serving for easier scooping.
