INGREDIENT NOTES:
STRAWBERRIES:
- We use this as the main component to give a natural sweet taste. They give a pink color to the ice cream and make it delicious. Frozen strawberries are good to include after draining as a replacement.
FULL-FAT COCONUT MILK:
- It makes the creamy and rich dessert. Coconut milk keeps the ice cream from getting icy and makes it yummy. You may use vegan heavy cream as an alternative.
UNSWEETENED OAT MILK:
- This milk maintains the richness of coconut milk and keeps the strawberry taste fresh. You may use almond milk as another option.
ORGANIC CANE SUGAR:
- It makes the ice cream sweet and keeps it soft. Cane sugar makes the texture better and keeps the dessert from getting icy. You may use white sugar as a substitute.
MAPLE SYRUP:
- This syrup gives gentle sweetness and a softer texture to the ice cream. Include date syrup if you are not using maple syrup.
CORNSTARCH AND WATER:
- We mix them together to make the slurry that gives slightly thick ice cream. Potato starch is a good alternative to include instead.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- First, hull the washed strawberries and slice them, then blend the slices till you get a smooth mixture.
- Blend the soaked cashews with oat milk till they get creamy.
- Mix coconut milk, strawberry puree, cashew mixture, sugar, maple syrup, salt, vanilla, and lemon juice in the saucepan.
- Warm the ingredients over moderate flame and then make the cornstarch slurry by mixing water with cornstarch.
- Slowly include the slurry in the warm water and cook the mixture for 5 minutes.
- Cool the mixture completely after removing from the flame, then refrigerate for three hours.
- In the ice cream maker, churn the mixture as per the manufacturer’s instructions.
