My Favorite Healthy Homemade Ice Cream Recipe

Strawberry Bliss Coconut Ice Cream

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of frozen strawberries
• 1 can (13.5 ounces) of full-fat coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
• 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Chill the Coconut Milk: For best results, chill the can of coconut milk in the refrigerator overnight. This helps the cream separate and solidify, giving your ice cream a rich, creamy texture.
2. Blend the Strawberries: Take the frozen strawberries and put them into a high-powered blender or food processor. Blend until the strawberries are crushed into small pieces, but not completely pureed. You’re looking for a chunky texture to add some bite to your ice cream.
3. Mix Ingredients: Open the can of chilled coconut milk and scoop out the solidified cream into a mixing bowl. Add the honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer or whisk to beat the mixture until it’s smooth and creamy.
4. Fold in Strawberries: Gently fold the crushed strawberries into the coconut mixture, creating swirls of raspberry throughout the ice cream.
5. Freeze: Pour the mixture into a loaf pan or an ice cream container. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap onto the surface of the ice cream to prevent ice crystals from forming.
6. Set the Ice Cream: Freeze the mixture for at least 4-6 hours, or until firm. If the ice cream becomes too solid, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften before serving.
7. Serve and Enjoy: Scoop out the desired amount of ice cream and enjoy a guilt-free treat that’s as nutritious as it is delightful!

Optional Add-ins:

• A pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavors
• A handful of dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs for added texture and antioxidants
• A sprinkle of coconut flakes for an extra coconutty crunch
• Swap strawberries for any berry of your choice!

Remember, this ice cream is not only a delicious treat but also a testament to how enjoyable and easy a healthy lifestyle can be. Indulge in this creamy delight while trying to lose 10 pounds in 2 weeks during your Real Food, Real Freedom Reset and savor every spoonful, knowing you’re nourishing your body and soul.
