As the holiday season approaches, I'm always on the lookout for delicious and festive treats that everyone can enjoy. This year, I'm excited to share with you a recipe for a dairy-free strawberry ice cream that's so creamy and flavorful, you won't believe it's made without any dairy!

This homemade ice cream is made with a simple base of strawberries, coconut milk, cashews, vanilla, and sweetened with dates. It's rich and creamy, with a burst of sweet and tangy strawberry flavor. Plus, it's naturally vegan and gluten-free, so everyone can indulge.

This dairy-free strawberry ice cream is the perfect way to end a holiday meal.

Ingredients:

2 cups frozen strawberries
1 can (13.5 ounces) full-fat coconut milk
1/2 cup raw cashews, soaked for at least 1 hour
10 Medjool dates, pits removed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

Drain and rinse the soaked cashews (you can skip soaking the cashews if you have a Vitamix).
In a blender, combine the strawberries, coconut milk, cashews, dates, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 8 hours, or overnight.
When ready to serve, run your scooping spoon under hot water to easily scoop the ice cream. Top with desired toppings and enjoy!

Tips:

For a sweeter ice cream, add more dates to taste.
For a more flavorful ice cream, let the strawberries sit in the freezer for at least 24 hours before blending.
If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can still make this ice cream! Simply pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze for 4-6 hours, stirring every hour or so to break up the ice crystals.
