Ingredients
For the Base
- 2 cups frozen strawberries Use fresh strawberries that have been frozen for several hours if store-bought frozen is unavailable.
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice Can be swapped for orange juice for a different flavor.
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk Can use any milk of choice, full-fat coconut milk gives a richer texture.
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice Fresh lemon juice gives the best flavor.
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar Adjust sweetness to taste.
Instructions
Preparation
- Ensure strawberries are fully frozen and the pineapple juice and coconut milk are chilled.
Blending
- In a high-speed blender, combine frozen strawberries, pineapple juice, coconut milk, and lemon juice. Blend on high until smooth.
Taste and Adjust Sweetness
- Taste the mixture and add powdered sugar as needed, then blend briefly to incorporate.
Serve or Firm Up
- Serve immediately for soft-serve texture or freeze for 30 minutes for a firmer scoop.
Garnishing

Notes
Use fully frozen strawberries for best results. Store leftovers in the freezer for up to 2 weeks and re-blend before serving for a smoother texture.
