Creamy Vegan Strawberry Ice Cream
🌱 Creamy Vegan Strawberry Ice Cream 🍓
This Creamy Vegan Strawberry Ice Cream is bright pink, scoopable, and made with coconut milk and real strawberries. No dairy. No ice cream machine required. Blend, freeze, scoop. It tastes like strawberry milkshake that decided to become dessert.
I love blending part of the berries smooth and leaving a few bits. Frozen strawberries make it colder faster. Don’t skip the pinch of salt — it makes the fruit taste louder. 💚

The Secret to Ice Cream That Isn’t Icy
Full-fat coconut milk is the difference. Thin plant milk freezes into crystals. A little maple or sugar keeps it scoopable. Stir once at the 2-hour mark if you’re going no-churn. Let the tub sit 8 minutes on the counter before you scoop.
Frequently Asked Questions ❓
Fresh or frozen strawberries? 🍓
Both work. Frozen berries make a colder, thicker blend.
Will it taste like coconut? 🥥
A little. The strawberries cover most of it. Cashew cream is milder if you want zero coconut.
Do I need an ice cream maker? 🍦
No. Freeze in a loaf pan and stir once. A machine makes it even smoother.

Notes & Tips 💡
- A handful of freeze-dried strawberries makes the color extra pink.
- If it freezes too hard, blend the frozen tub with a splash of plant milk.
- This is excellent in a cone or straight from the container.
- Don’t use light coconut milk. It turns icy.
