Equipment

  • 1 Ice Cream Maker I used the Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker.
  • 1 High Speed Blender I used my Vitamix blender.

Ingredients
  

  • 3+½ Cups Fresh Strawberries Make sure you remove the stems and cut into small pieces before measuring.
  • 13.5 Ounces Full Fat Coconut Milk
  • ½ Cup Coconut Sugar Or any granulated sugar.
  • ½ Cup Raw Cashews
  • 1+½ Tablespoons Honey
  • 3 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • ½ Teaspoon Salt

Instructions
 

  • Start by removing the stems from rinsed and dried strawberries. Then cut the strawberries into bite sized pieces so you can measure them accurately. (You'll need 3+½ cups.)
  • Next, add all ingredients into a high-speed blender.
  • Blend the ice cream mixture on high until it's smooth and creamy. (About 60-90 seconds.)
  • Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn for 20-25 minutes.
  • Transfer the ice cream mixture into a freezer safe storage container and let chill until you're ready to enjoy!

Notes

Expert Tips

  • If you don't have an ice cream maker, pour the ice cream mixture into a freezer safe container and freeze for about 4-6 hours or overnight.
  • Make sure you roughly chop the strawberries before measuring.
  • Because strawberries are on the Dirty Dozen, I always suggest getting organic strawberries when possible.
  • Wash strawberries thoroughly before cutting. (Even if they're organic!) For more information on this, check out my post on how to make a simple vinegar fruit wash!
  • You can enjoy it right out of the ice cream maker, but for firmer ice cream, transfer it into a container and freeze for 15-30 minutes.
  • The ice cream base for the Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker must be stored in the freezer for 48 hours prior to making the ice cream.

How to Store Leftovers

Store leftover ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer.
Leave the ice cream at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before serving.
