Strawberry Paleo Ice Cream

Strawberry Paleo Ice Cream

Wow it’s been forever since I’ve posted a recipe. Sorry about that, guys. Thank God for the ladies of Recipe Swap 2k14 for incentivizing me to do so! This month we were tasked with creating a spring recipe which made for endless possibilities.

Making Paleo ice cream was actually my husband’s idea. He eats an 80% paleo diet so I’m constantly pushed to be creative in the kitchen which ends up benefitting both of us. I am dairy-free so the idea of making an ice cream that I could eat made my mouth literally water. It had to be done.

I don’t have an ice cream maker or any fancy machines. This recipe is pretty darn easy and guys it tastes. Like. Ice Cream. It’s super refreshing, sweet, and pretty to eat.

Besides tasting amazing, there are a few health benefits (healthy ice cream? oh yes). I used raw local honey as a sweetener which helps combat allergies this time of year. Strawberries (or any berries) are a great, low-sugar fruit that helps clean out your winter gut in the spring.

I made dessert but the other bloggers in this recipe swap have you covered in all areas: Apps, entrees, sides, and desserts. Look no further for all of your new favorite recipes!

Strawberry Paleo Ice Cream:

Strawberry Syrup Ingredients:
– 2 cups fresh strawberries, halved and hulled
– 1 tblspn raw honey
– 1 tblspn balsamic vinegar
– 3 tblspns water

Ice Cream Base Ingredients:
– 2 cans coconut milk
– 1/2 cup raw honey
– 1 tspn pure vanilla extract

Directions:
– Make strawberry syrup by placing all syrup ingredients in a sauce pan
– Heat on medium, stirring often, until strawberries start to break apart (about 8 minutes)
– Remove from heat and place in the fridge to cool while you make the ice cream
– In a large bowl, mix coconut milk, vanilla, and honey until smooth (I ended up using my Vitamix because it was quick and easy)
– Mix in strawberry syrup until smooth and pink (so pretty!)
– Cover bowl and let stand in the freezer (without touching it) for at least 3 hours before serving
– Serve with berries and mint or basil
– Enjoy!

      It’s super hard. My husband is crazy dedicated. No idea how he does it. I think he’s insane 🙂

    I halved this recipe to make a smaller portion but forgot to reduce the water for the syrup, have I ruined it? Hopefully not 🙁

    I love this recipe! Strawberry ice cream is always really good. Lemon and strawberry is my favorite. I have this one really good paleo lemon, blueberry, and banana ice cream. http://www.tomboycardio.com/55845ca5e4b0601295909b13/2015/6/25/lemon-blueberry-and-banana-ice-cream.
