This Whole 30 Strawberry Coconut Ice Cream is a creamy, refreshing dessert that’s dairy-free, sugar-free, and made with just two simple ingredients—fresh strawberries and coconut cream. Perfect for warm days or as a guilt-free indulgence, this recipe is quick, easy, and Whole30-compliant!

Ingredients

  • 3 cups fresh strawberries, washed, hulled, and halved.
    Tip: Use ripe strawberries for natural sweetness. If out of season, frozen strawberries can be used (skip the initial freezing step).
  • 1 can coconut cream, chilled overnight.
    Tip: Scoop only the thick cream from the top; reserve the liquid for texture adjustments.

Instructions

Step 1: Freeze the Strawberries

Wash and hull the strawberries, then cut them in half. Spread them out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for about 2 hours until firm.

Step 2: Blend the Ice Cream Base

Place the frozen strawberries and the thick coconut cream (from the top of the can) into a food processor or high-speed blender. Pulse until crumbly. Then blend on high until smooth and creamy.

Pro Tip: If the mixture isn’t blending well, drizzle in small amounts of the reserved coconut cream liquid (one tablespoon at a time) until it reaches your desired consistency.

Step 3: Chill and Serve

Transfer the blended mixture to a freezer-safe container and let it chill in the freezer for about 15 minutes to firm up slightly. Serve immediately for best texture.

Common Mistake to Avoid: Don’t leave it in the freezer too long as it may harden excessively due to its low water content.

Notes

Serving Suggestions:

  • Serve in small bowls or ramekins with fresh strawberry slices or toasted coconut flakes for garnish.
  • Pair with grilled fruit or a light summer salad for a refreshing dessert combo.

Tips & Tricks:

  • Ensure your coconut cream is well-chilled for a creamier texture.
  • Use only ripe strawberries for natural sweetness—no added sugar needed!
  • Let the ice cream soften at room temperature for about 5–10 minutes if it hardens too much in the freezer.

Storage & Reheating:

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks.
  • To serve again, allow it to thaw slightly at room temperature before scooping.
