Ingredients
- 4 ounces strawberries chopped or sliced (a little more than ½ cup)
- ¼ cup Monkfruit Sweetener with Allulose or equivalent sweetener (see note)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 5.3 fluid ounce cans Native Forest organic coconut cream or about 10.5 fl oz from 13.5 fl oz can
- 2 large egg yolks see note for vegan.
Instructions
- Add strawberries, sweetener, and lemon juice to small blender. Blend until strawberries are puréed. Set aside for at least 10 minutes.
- Add coconut cream to medium saucepan. Heat the mixture over medium heat until steaming, do not boil. Remove from heat.
- Whisk the egg yolks in a small bowl until smooth.
- Slowly add a few ladles of the heated coconut cream to the egg yolks, whisking constantly, to temper the egg.
- Once the eggs have been warmed, slowly stream the tempered eggs into the warm coconut cream mixture while whisking to combine. Allow to cool slightly.
- Strain the coconut cream mixture into the blender with strawberry. Use a fine mesh strainer to remove any cooked egg pieces. Blend until well combined.
- Pour mixture into CREAMi pint container and freeze for 24 hours on level surface.
- Process in the Ninja CREAMi on the Lite ice cream. If mixture is not smooth and creamy, you can re-spin.
Notes
Egg yolks can be replaced with sunflower lecithin for vegan ice cream.
If you prefer a sweeter ice cream, up the sweetener to ⅓ cup or add about 10 to 15 drops of stevia. BochaSweet sweetener will also work well in the recipe.
If you don’t want it to be low-carb, feel free to use higher carb sweeteners like sugar or maple syrup.
If you use a regular 13.5 fl oz can of coconut cream, you will need to blend the liquid into the thicker cream before measuring.
This recipe can be made in a pint-sized ice cream maker like the DASH My Pint. Just churn according to ice cream machine manufacturer’s directions.
