Strawberry season is here once again, and now that the weather has been warming up lately, it is becoming ice cream season as well! So when deciding what dessert to make this weekend, I thought I would combine the two! I have been experimenting with coconut based ice creams and sorbets lately, and so I thought the combination of coconut and strawberry might turn out to be delicious! But simply coconut strawberry ice cream wasn't enough, I decided that lemon would join in the party as well, to balance out the sweet flavor of the berries and coconut. What resulted from this experiment was sucessful scrumptious non-dairy ice cream! Try this out on a warm day, it is super easy, as well as tasty!
Strawberry Coconut Lemon Sorbet
2 3/4 cups organic full fat coconut milk
1/2 cup agave nectar
juice and zest of one lemon
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 tsp lemon extract
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 1/2 cups sliced fresh strawberries
Combine all ingredients in a food processor, and process until well blended. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and process according to package directions (mine takes about an hour, and is still a little soupy like the consistency of a malt, but firms up in the freezer later). When ice cream is done freezing, place in the freezer for at least a few hours, or overnight to firm up for best results. Makes about 4 cups of delicious sorbet!
That is simply delish! So fruity.
