My boys love this vegan Strawberry Ice “Cream.”  I made a batch and it was gone in a couple of hours.  So I made more and my husband got in on the act, consuming his share.

It is made with a coconut milk base and I added quite a bit of vanilla, in hopes of drowning out the coconutty flavor, as I did not want to make a coconut ice cream.  I think I succeeded, though you all can be the judge of that.

Strawberry Ice Cream (Vegan, Gluten Free)
1 (13.5 ounce) can coconut milk
1 (10 ounce) package frozen strawberries
¼ cup agave nectar or honey
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon vanilla beans (optional)

1. Blend all ingredients in a vitamix
2. Pour into ice cream maker and process according to instructions
3. Serve

To make this I used my Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker which you can find here.  We used it for the class that I taught last summer, however we made the Vegan Vanilla Ice Cream that time.

Recently, CoconutGal contacted me about posting some of her photos of my recipes in the Elana’s Pantry flickr group.  I look forward to seeing her pics there and yours too!
