Common Questions About Dairy-Free Strawberry Ice Cream
What Does Dairy-Free Ice Cream Taste Like?
Dairy-free ice cream, particularly when made with full-fat coconut milk, has a creamy texture that rivals traditional ice cream.
The coconut flavor is subtle, and the fresh strawberry flavor shines through, creating a delicious ice cream that you won’t believe is dairy-free!
Will Carton Coconut Milk Work?
Carton coconut milk is thinner and may result in an icy texture. We recommend using full-fat canned coconut milk for the creamiest dairy-free strawberry ice cream.
What About Cream Of Coconut? Will That Work?
Cream of coconut is much thicker and sweeter than coconut milk and can drastically change the flavor of the ice cream. Stick with the full-fat coconut milk for the best flavor and texture.
What Does ‘No-Churn Ice Cream’ Mean?
No-churn ice cream means you don’t need an ice cream maker to achieve that creamy texture. By blending the ingredients until smooth and then freezing, you can get delicious ice cream without any special equipment.
Storage
I always keep cans of coconut milk on hand as I absolutely love the stuff. If this is a new thing for you, don’t worry. These simple ingredients are so tasty, this might just be your new favorite ice cream!
Refrigerator
Ice cream should not be stored in the refrigerator as it would melt otherwise.
Freezer
Your homemade dairy-free strawberry ice cream will keep in the freezer for up to two weeks. Store it in an airtight container to prevent ice crystals from forming.
Tips
Full-fat coconut milk is the “secret ingredient” here. I personally like to get the natural kind, without things like guar gum. You get what’s good for you, though!
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best fresh strawberry flavor.
- Full-fat coconut milk provides a creamy texture that’s similar to traditional ice cream.
- You can use frozen strawberries if that’s all you have! Just let them thaw to room temperature before blending.

- If you’d like to use an ice cream maker, you totally can. Just follow the manufacturer’s instructions for best results.
- Feel free to use honey or agave to sweeten this ice cream instead of sugar.
- You can double or triple this recipe. Just make sure your blender and loaf pans can handle the increased volume!
Ingredients
These are all easy-to-find ingredients at your local grocery stores. I personally like to use organic cane sugar. It just feels more natural that way. I can’t fully describe to you how yummy this is going to be. Get ready for flavor!
- Strawberries
- Full-fat coconut milk
- Granulated sugar
- Vanilla extract
