Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Strawberries halved
  • 1 Tbsp White Balsamic Reduction
  • 4 Tbsp Honey divided
  • 1.5 cans Full-fat Coconut Milk about 2 cups
  • 1/2 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk or milk of your choice
  • 1.5 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • Pinch Salt

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Food Processor
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Oven
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Sheet

Method
 

  1. Place the bowl of your ice cream maker in the freezer for at least 24 hours before you start.
  2. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
  3. In a large bowl, toss together the halved strawberries, balsamic reduction, and 1 tablespoon of honey. Ensure the strawberries are well coated for even roasting.
  4. Transfer the strawberries to a baking dish and roast them in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
  5. After 10 minutes, stir the berries and return them to the oven for an additional 10 minutes.
  6. Once roasted, transfer the strawberries to a bowl and mash them using a potato masher.
  7. Allow the mashed strawberries to cool while you prepare the ice cream base.
  8. In a blender, combine the coconut milk, almond milk, 3 tablespoons of honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  9. Mix in the cooled roasted strawberries along with their juices to the blender.
  10. Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually about 20 minutes.
  11. Once churned, transfer the ice cream into an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours before serving.
  12. If the ice cream is too firm upon serving, let it sit out for about 30 minutes to soften up.

Notes

  • Tip 1: Make sure to keep any leftover ice cream in a well-sealed container to maintain its creamy texture.
  • Tip 2: Store ice cream in a freezer-safe container and ensure it’s tightly sealed to prevent ice crystals.
  • Tip 3: This ice cream pairs wonderfully with homemade shortcakes, adding a delicious contrast of textures.
  • Tip 4: Try experimenting with different berries to create your own unique flavors.
  • Tip 5: Keep an eye on the ice cream as it churns; it should have a soft-serve consistency before you freeze it.
