Vegan Strawberry Ice Cream Recipe

Vegan Strawberry Ice Cream is a delightful frozen treat that captures the essence of fresh, ripe strawberries in a creamy and dairy-free dessert. This recipe offers a guilt-free indulgence for vegans and those with lactose intolerance.

Here's a simple recipe for vegan strawberry ice cream:

Ingredients:

• 2 cups frozen strawberries
• 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
• 1/2 cup non-dairy milk (such as almond milk or soy milk)
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar or sweetener of your choice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Optional: a squeeze of lemon juice (to enhance the strawberry flavor)

Instructions:

1. Place the frozen strawberries, coconut milk, non-dairy milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice (if using) in a blender or food processor.
2. Blend the ingredients until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender or food processor a few times to ensure everything is well mixed.
3. Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness if needed by adding more sugar or sweetener.
4. Once the mixture is smooth and well combined, transfer it to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. This typically takes about 20-25 minutes, but it may vary depending on your ice cream maker.
5. After churning, the ice cream will be soft-serve consistency. If you prefer a firmer texture, transfer the ice cream to a lidded container and place it in the freezer for a few hours to harden.
6. When ready to serve, remove the ice cream from the freezer and let it soften for a few minutes before scooping.
