Vegan Strawberry SunButter Ice Cream

Five ingredient vegan strawberry SunButter ice cream made with coconut, cashew, maple syrup, and strawberries. Top with more SunButter!

       

Allow me to introduce my first vegan ice cream…made with an ice cream maker! 

If you’ve been around here a while, you know that the archives are teeming with “no-churn” ice cream recipes. 

Our kitchen space is super limited, so I usually think long and hard about purchasing new kitchen appliances. 

But I’ve been on a vegan ice cream kick all summer; purchasing pint after pint at the grocery store. 

So it just made *sense* to start making my own, and start sharing my recipes with you. 

Maybe it’s the heat of the summer, but I *finally* decided to purchase an ice cream maker. 

M and I had fun this weekend watching the ice cream maker; I guess we’re easily entertained!

The ice cream bucket whirred round and round; pink and frosty in its chilled cylinder. 

After eager taste testing, I exclaimed excitedly, “It tastes like strawberry ice cream!”

Well, if that’s not an endorsement for you, then I don’t even know. 

This Vegan Strawberry SunButter Ice Cream is made with coconut, cashew, maple syrup, and plenty of strawberries.

It’s bursting with berry flavor topped with SunButter for a PB&J feel. 

When it comes to ice cream, I’m usually pretty vanilla. 

Pun totally intended. 

I guess one could call me an ice cream purist. 

I like my ice creams pretty subtle in terms of flavor and texture.

My go to’s are vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry. 

Today, I’m so excited to add a strawberry ice cream recipe to the blog! 

Here’s what you need to make Vegan Strawberry SunButter Ice Cream: 

• cashews
• full-fat coconut milk
• frozen strawberries
• pure maple syrup
• Organic SunButter

That’s it! 

Before you begin the recipe, make sure that your ice cream maker is chilled and everything is ready to go! 

First, drain and rinse the soaked cashews and add them to a high-speed blender with the entire contents of one can of coconut milk, frozen strawberries, maple syrup, and SunButter.

Oh, and make sure that the cashews are mostly cool before adding them to the blender. 

We only want to put cool things in the ice cream maker so it doesn’t have to work harder. 

Blend everything on high until it’s super smooth and creamy.

Add the blended and chilled mixture to your ice cream maker and churn according to the instructions on your ice cream maker.

Mine took about ~20-25 minutes.

You’ll know when it’s done because it’ll look a bit like frozen yogurt or soft serve.

The ice cream will also stop turning as much when it reaches your desired consistency. 

Once it’s churned, pour or scoop the ice cream into a freezer safe pan or container and tap it several times to release any air bubble.

Lay the container flat in the freezer and freeze for 6-8 hours, or preferably overnight.

To serve, scoop the ice cream into bowls and serve with a drizzle of more SunButter and any other toppings you like. 

Remember when I said that I preferred my ice creams plainer? 

Well, that’s so we can load them up with toppings, like an endless drizzle of Organic SunButter.

Who needs chocolate syrup when you have runny SunButter?

I love adding a spoonful of SunButter to my after dinner ice cream. 

It adds the best “nutty” flavor that makes this ice cream taste like a PB&J. 

This Vegan Strawberry SunButter Ice Cream is perfect to make for a sweet warm weather treat.

It’s so easy to whip up with simple wholesome ingredients!

If your ice cream is rock hard, try letting the ice cream sit out for 10-15 minutes before scooping and serving.

Try spooning it into cones, ice cream sandwiches, and ice cream cakes.

I love to serve mine in tiny Weck jars with lots of Organic SunButter drizzled on top. 

Oh, and if you *don’t* have an ice cream maker, check out some of my No-Churn recipes for instructions on how to make this without!
