4cupsstrawberries, tops trim and dicedsub prefrozen strawberries
1tbspcoconut sugaromit if using refrozen strawberries
2tsplemon juice
115 oz. canfull fat coconut milk (the solidified part at the top only)chilled overnight in the fridge
17 oz. canvanilla or plain dairy free sweetened condensed milk
1tspvanilla extractoptional, if using plain dairy free condensed milk
Instructions
To a bowl add your chopped strawberries, coconut sugar and lemon juice and mix until combined. You can mash them down a little to release some of their natural juices (but not too much!)
Allow this mixture to sit for about 15-20 minutes, unrefrigerated and then place the mixture into an ice cube tray.
Freeze the frozen fruit "ice cubes" for at least 4 hours. (I usually prepare this the night before) or sub with pre frozen strawberries.
To a blender, add dairy free sweetened condensed milk, hard cream from a can of full fat coconut milk chilled overnight, frozen strawberries and vanilla extract (if not using vanilla sweetened condensed milk)
Blend until smooth. Add to a container and freeze for 1-4 hours depending on desired texture. Add lid or piece of parchment paper over the ice cream mixture.
If you freeze for longer or overnight, allow to thaw for 15 minutes before serving.
Optionally serve with my vegan whipped cream (recipe linked above) Enjoy!
