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:
- Place the frozen strawberries, coconut milk, non-dairy milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice (if using) in a blender or food processor.
- 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.
- Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness if needed by adding more sugar or sweetener.
- 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.
- 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.
- When ready to serve, remove the ice cream from the freezer and let it soften for a few minutes before scooping.
