Liquids and Flavorings
- 1/2 cup coconut milk (full-fat for creaminess)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Sweetener (optional)
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberries: Begin by placing the frozen strawberries in a high-powered blender or food processor, ensuring your base is ready for blending.
- Add Coconut Milk: Add the chilled coconut milk to the blender, which helps achieve a creamy texture in the final whip.
- Sweeten (Optional): If desired, add honey or agave syrup to introduce extra sweetness based on your taste preference.
- Add Lemon Juice: Pour in the fresh lemon juice to brighten the flavors and give a refreshing tang.
- Add Vanilla Extract: Incorporate the vanilla extract to enhance aroma and deepen the overall flavor profile.

- Achieve Soft-Serve Texture: Blend until the mixture is creamy and smooth, resembling soft-serve ice cream consistency.
- Serve or Chill: Serve immediately for the best texture or transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container and freeze for about an hour if you prefer a firmer consistency.
