What You’ll Need:

For the Ice Cream Base

2 cans (13.5 oz each) full-fat coconut milk (chilled overnight)
1/3 cup maple syrup or agave nectar
1 tbsp vanilla extract
Pinch of sea salt

For the Strawberry Swirl

1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries
1–2 tbsp maple syrup (to taste)
1 tsp lemon juice

Optional Add-ins

1/4 cup mini dairy-free chocolate chips
1/4 tsp cinnamon
Fresh mint for garnish

Prepration for:Dairy-Free Strawberry Swirl Coconut Ice Cream

Step 1/4

Make the Strawberry Swirl

In a small saucepan, cook strawberries, maple syrup, and lemon juice over medium heat. Stir frequently, mashing the berries until a thick sauce forms (about 10 minutes). Let it cool completely before swirling into the ice cream.

Step 2/4

Make the Coconut Ice Cream Base

Scoop only the thick part of the chilled coconut milk into a mixing bowl (leave the water behind). Add maple syrup, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Whip with a hand mixer or blender until smooth and fluffy.

Step 3/4

Combine & Swirl

Pour the coconut mixture into a freezer-safe container. Drop spoonfuls of the strawberry sauce on top and gently swirl with a knife for a marbled effect. Optionally, sprinkle chocolate chips before freezing.

Step 4/4

Freeze

Cover the container and freeze for at least 4–6 hours or overnight. Before serving, let sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes to soften slightly.

Chef's Tips & Notes

Tips: For an extra-creamy texture, churn the base in an ice cream maker before swirling in strawberries. You can swap strawberries with raspberries, blueberries, or even mango.
