Ingredients
Scale
Strawberries and Cream:
- 2 cups frozen strawberries
- 1 can organic coconut heavy cream
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) vanilla extract
Instructions
- Pulverize the coconut cream, frozen strawberries, and vanilla extract in a high-powered blender until the mixture transforms into a silky, uniform consistency without any fruit chunks.
- Transfer the velvety strawberry cream into a rectangular freezer-safe container, meticulously smoothing the surface with a flexible spatula to ensure an even top layer.
- Carefully position the container in the freezer’s coldest section, allowing the mixture to solidify completely for approximately 3-4 hours, periodically checking its texture and firmness.
- Once the dessert has reached a solid state, extract it from the freezer and permit it to rest at room temperature for 5-10 minutes, enabling gentle thawing that facilitates effortless scooping.
- Enhance the ice cream’s flavor profile by gently folding in maple syrup for additional sweetness, or incorporate textural elements like chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or delicate shredded coconut before the final freezing stage, creating a personalized frozen treat.
Notes
- Swap frozen strawberries with fresh ones for a more vibrant flavor, adjusting sugar content accordingly.
- Enhance creaminess by using full-fat coconut cream and ensuring it’s well-chilled before blending.
- Create dairy-free and vegan-friendly version by using plant-based ingredients and natural sweeteners like agave or stevia.
- Experiment with mix-ins like crushed graham crackers, toasted coconut flakes, or swirls of strawberry puree for extra texture and complexity.
