    This vegan strawberry ice cream contains no bananas, no coconut and it is so creamy and delicious you’d never know its dairy free.

    When I had to eliminate dairy from my diet the first thing I knew I'd miss was ice cream. Ever since I was a little girl I've always loved ice cream.

    Ice cream was the antidote to scraped knees.

    It was something my Grandmother gave us when we slept over (always topped with sprinkles).

    It soothed bad days and broken hearts.

    Since going dairy-free I have been playing with ice cream recipes. My first foray into dairy free ice cream was my Bounty Ice Cream Cake. It's perhaps still my favorite. However, this vegan strawberry ice cream comes a close second.

    While a lot of vegan ice cream recipes use coconut cream or milk or frozen bananas this recipe is made from blended cashews with a little cocoa butter to add the lovely fatty creaminess you expect from a good ice cream.

    But the star of the show in this vegan strawberry ice cream is the fresh strawberries.

    This vegan strawberry ice cream contains no bananas, no coconut and it is so creamy and delicious you’d never know its dairy free.

    Fresh summer berries are at their best at the moment here in Florida, and the berries I picked up at my local farmers market are no exception.

    Bright red all the way through and wonderfully sweet, it is difficult not to eat them as they are.

    But what is even better is a scoop of this vegan strawberry ice cream with a side of sliced strawberries

    Ingredients

    • 25 g cocoa butter (1 oz)
    • ½ cup cashews soaked overnight and drained
    • 1 cup water
    • 450 g strawberries hulled (15 ¾ oz)
    • 100 g raw sugar (3 ½ oz)
    • 2 tbs glucose syrup
    • 1 tbs vodka optional
    US Customary - Metric

    Instructions

    • Melt the cocoa butter. You can either do this in the microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring in between. Otherwise use the double boiler method. Set aside.
    • Place the remaining ingredients in the blender and blend until smooth. When smooth remove the spout from the blender and slowly pour in the cocoa butter. When all the cocoa butter added put the spout back and blend for a further minute. Pour through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl and refrigerate until completely cold.
    • Turn on your ice cream maker and pour in the chilled strawberry mixture. Churn until the mixture thickens - this will take about 25-30 minutes.
    • Transfer the ice cream to a container and freeze till it firms. Enjoy!

    Notes

    While the vodka is optional it, along with the liquid glucose helps ensure the ice cream is easily scoopable from the refrigerator.

      Your Vegan Strawberry Ice Cream looks and sounds fabulous! It looks so creamy, you'd never guess it's vegan... I love your tip to include a bit of vodka. It definitely keeps our wonderful frozen treats from turning rock hard in the freezer! I'll be keeping an eye out for some beautiful strawberries... They're not in season currently, and tend to be flavorless...

        Spring berries are the best aren't they? I just love how perfectly red they are all the way through.

      Jen, this ice cream looks so creamy and with an unusual combination of ingredients. I love the fact that it is coconut free and banana free (both of which are very overpowering in taste) and so would let the flavour of the berries shine! I am definitely making this 🙂

        I hope you enjoy it Christine. It was super hot and sticky here in Brisbane yesterday so I treated myself to some last night. 🙂 It was the perfect way to cool down.
