Vegan Strawberry Ice Cream Recipe
This 5-ingredient vegan strawberry ice cream is creamy, fruity, naturally sweetened, and is a no-churn recipe (no ice cream machine necessary!). It's gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, refined sugar-free, vegan, and paleo!
Servings 8
Ingredients
- 2 cups (300 g) frozen strawberries
- 1/3 cup (100 g) maple syrup
- 1 1/4 cups (300 g) full-fat coconut milk (can shaken)
- 2/3 cup (100 g) raw cashews (see notes)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- You can watch the short video in the post for visual instructions.Soak the cashews overnight in cold water or boil them for 20 minutes until soft, then discard the water.
- Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender and blend until completely smooth.
- Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze for a few hours, or overnight. I recommend stirring the ice cream every 20 minutes during the first hour, otherwise, it will become too icy.
- Let it thaw at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- Cashews: For a cashew-free version, use 200 grams of dairy-free cream, such as oat cream (Oatly).
- If it freezes too hard: Allow the mixture to thaw for a few minutes. Then scoop it back into your blender to whip into a creamy soft-serve consistency.
- For a softer ice cream, you could add extra sugar or two tablespoons of alcohol. I.e., vodka or an orange liqueur. (you won't really taste it unless you add more).
- If you have an ice cream maker: Just follow the first two steps of the recipe, then transfer the ice cream mixture to an ice cream maker to do the rest! Plan for the time the bowl needs to freeze and make sure not to overfill it.
- The total time doesn't include chill time.
