Strawberry Ice Cream is smooth, creamy and full of fresh strawberry flavor. The ingredients for this ice cream is coconut milk, sweetened with maple syrup and real strawberries, nothing artifical!
It's my husbands 36th birthday today! Garrett LOVED Haagen Diaz Strawberry Ice Cream when he was growing up so I wanted to make this for his birthday. I recently bought an ice cream maker and thought it was the perfect first recipe to try out!
A couple notes about Strawberry Ice Cream:
What if I don't have an ice cream maker?
There are two ways to make this ice cream. The first method is in an ice cream maker and the second is the "freeze and stir" method. If you are going to make this without an ice cream maker, mix all the ingredients together in a freezer safe bowl and place in the freezer then stir every 30 minutes until completely frozen.
What type of ice cream maker do you use?
I use this 2-quart Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker. It's honestly so easy to use and cleaning up is even easier.

I tried this recipe for the first time today and let me tell you it was amazing !!!!! I couldn’t get full fat coconut milk but the light coconut milk did the job and tasted amazing. I would definitely recommend trying both.
Awesome! I am so glad you enjoyed it! I'm also glad the lite coconut milk turned out. Sometimes lite coconut milk can be a little icy since it's not as creamy.
This was a hit, thank you for the recipe. Only change I made was using 1 1/4 cups of frozen strawberries and 3/4 cup of frozen papaya.
Glad to hear you enjoyed it! I love the addition of papaya. Great idea!
This was great!!! I used pure corn syrup because I forgot to buy maple syrup. Can’t say how much, exactly, because I added it “to taste.” Soooo creamy with the coconut milk...full fat. My lactose-intolerant husband loved it. I’ve mastered lots of fruit sorbets, and now I’m moving on to non-dairy ice creams! Thanks so much, Chef Lara. ❤️
Marianne, so glad to hear you were able to find a substitute and enjoyed the ice cream!
