Vegan Strawberry Lemonade Ice Cream (only 4 ingredients!)
This strawberry lemonade ice cream is made with only 4 vegan ingredients, free of refined sugar, and perfect for a healthy summer indulgence!
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups frozen strawberries
- 3 lemons (peeled, deeseed, halved and frozen)
- 1/2 cup coconut cream, frozen into cubes about 6 or 7 cubes
- 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp maple syrup
Lemon Cups with Strawberry Hats
- 4 lemons for hallowing and using as serve cups (optional)
- 4 strawberry tops
Instructions
Prepare the frozen lemon cups
- Start by cutting the off the very bottoms of the lemons, about 1/4 of an inch thick. This allows the lemons to “sit” upright.
- Set these pieces aside. Then cut off the tops of the lemons. About 1/2-1 inch thick pieces.
- Once cut, use a large spoon to remove the juice and pulp inside (I do this in a bowl to prevent any mess)
- Using a spoon to gently scrap the inside of the lemon and it will remove all the flesh. You can discard or freeze the pulp. I save all the juice from the lemon in the fridge for salads etc for the week!
- Then place the bottoms (the pieces you cut off first) inside the lemons on the bottom. This will allow you to close off any holes on the bottom, still allowing the lemon to remain upright, you may need to cut a little extra point of this part to ensure they sit flat.
- Freeze the lemon cups overnight so they’re cold before serving. This allows the ice cream to stay nice and cold and keep it’s thickness.
- Cut the tops off of 4 strawberries and freeze as well.
Make the strawberry lemonade ice cream
- In a blender, combine the frozen strawberries, frozen lemons, coconut cream cubes, and maple syrup.
- Blend until smooth and creamy, ensuring all the ingredients are well combined. (if using a high speed blender so a tamper to push down as you go)
- Pour the strawberry lemonade ice cream mixture into the hollowed-out lemon cups, filling them to the top.
- Top with the frozen strawberry tops.
- Place in the freezer for about 20 minutes if need to set (or until your ready to enjoy)
- If freezing overnight, allow them to thaw for about 15 minutes before serving.
- Place any additional ice cream in an airtight container and freeze. Enjoy!
