Simple Ingredients for the BEST Vegan Strawberry Ice Cream Recipe

Full-fat coconut milk: the kind that’s thick and creamy, not the super-liquidy kind that you drink. 😉
Coconut cream: for extra creaminess.
Raw cashew butter: the #1 secret ingredient. Yes, you can leave this one out, but I highly recommend keeping it. It adds rich creaminess to your vegan ice cream and deters icy crystals from forming.
Vanilla Extract
Pure Almond Extract: the #2 secret ingredient. You can sub this with more vanilla, but I also highly recommend this one. It adds a sweet lightness and complexity to the flavor profile that helps to cut down on the coconut flavor & bring out the strawberry flavors.
Pure Maple Syrup: use the amount you prefer. Taste test the vegan ice cream mixture before placing into the ice cream maker. 😉

Tools for the Best Dairy Free Strawberry Vegan Ice Cream

Large Ice Cream Maker: this homemade vegan ice cream is made specifically for a large ice cream maker, with plenty of volume. If using a regular-sized ice cream maker, make sure to leave out some of the ice cream mixture. See the recipe for details. 🙂
Trigger Ice Cream Scoop: the easiest way to get beautifully round, generous scoops of strawberry vegan ice cream. This ice cream scoop goes easy on my sometimes super-strained hands (I’ve got the ol’ tendonitis) and makes ice cream scooping pleasant. 🙂
My Favorite Food Processor: this is literally my all-time favorite food processor. I use it for everything from making homemade nut butters to no bake recipes and for all of my ice cream recipes. It’s durable, easy to use and so friggin’ reliable.
Reusable Ice Cream Tub or Mini Pints: Sometimes, just to jazz up my whole ice cream making activity sesh, I love pouring my ice cream mixture into an official ice cream tub or mini pints (super cute). They’re reusable, cute and totally add to the sense of occasion (and who doesn’t need that?). 🙂
