Ingredients

  • 2 cans unsweetened full-fat coconut milk ((14-ounce))
  • 4 cups sliced fresh or frozen strawberries
  • 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise and seeds scraped out ((or 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract))
  • 2 frozen bananas ((peel left on))
  • 1 tsp granulated stevia
  • Unsweetened shredded coconut
  • Cacao nibs
  • Crushed walnuts

Instructions

  1. 1
    Refrigerate the cans of coconut milk overnight. Open each can and scoop only the thick, white coconut cream into a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment; discard the watery liquid left in the can or refrigerate it for another use (it’s good for smoothies!). Whip the coconut cream using a handheld mixer or the stand mixer until it holds soft peaks.
  2. 2
    In a food processor, combine 3 cups of the strawberries, vanilla, banana, stevia, and sea salt. Pulse until smooth.
  3. 3
    Fold the strawberry mixture into the coconut whipped cream. Gently add the remaining sliced strawberries. Transfer the mixture to a lidded freezer-safe storage container & use the back of a spoon to level the top. Cover and freeze for 2 hours.
  4. 4
    Scoop the mixture out with a spoon to "un-ice" (You can also transfer it to the food processor & pulse until smooth). Return the mixture to the container, cover, and freeze until solid. The goal is to get the creamiest consistency possible.
  5. 5
    When you’re ready to eat, take the nice cream out and let it soften at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before scooping. Spoon into bowls, top as desired, and enjoy.
Note: Adjust spices to taste. Enjoy your meal!
