Vegan Strawberry Ice Cream
This vegan strawberry ice cream is creamy, scoopable, and made with just five simple ingredients. Fresh strawberries and coconut milk create a rich base that churns into soft-serve perfection. Freeze it until firm, then serve with chocolate sauce, coconut flakes, or a swirl of homemade strawberry compote.

Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries
- 2 cups coconut milk
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 5 tablespoons agave nectar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Use a high-speed blender, puree the strawberries, leaving some chunks. Add the coconut milk, sugar, agave, and lemon juice and blend until combined. Transfer to a bowl or container, cover, and chill the mixture for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
- Once it’s chilled, add the mixture to your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Most machines take 10 to 15 minutes depending on the temperature of the mix, and when it’s finished it should look like soft serve.
- Once it’s churned, transfer the ice cream to a large, freezer-safe container, smooth the top and cover it tightly. Freeze it for at least 5 to 6 hours, or until it is firm.
- Store this ice cream in the freezer in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
Notes
- Use full-fat canned coconut milk for the creamiest texture—lite versions or boxed coconut milk won’t work the same.
- Frozen strawberries are fine, but let them thaw slightly before blending for best texture.
- Chill the base thoroughly before churning—at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
- An ice cream maker is recommended to get that soft, scoopable texture without additives.
- Store in a shallow, freezer-safe container for faster freezing and easier scooping.
- Let sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before serving—it softens up and scoops best once slightly thawed.
