Strawberry Banana Ice Cream

Mmmmm!

 

This is a quick and easy strawberry ice cream to make that doesn't involve anything harder than cleaning and hulling a pound of strawberries. The creaminess comes from canned coconut milk. If you're not a fan of coconut, don't worry, it doesn't taste like coconut. It's also not too sweet with a touch of tartness from a bit of lemon. The recipe is a slight modification from a recipe in Lick It! by Cathe Olson – a book of easy, dairy free recipes. Most are fairly straight-forward without hard to find ingredients.

Home made ice cream is soooo much better than store bought. Every time I get lazy and pick up a pint of Almond Dream or Coconut Bliss, I'm appalled at how sweet it is. Now the only problem is to make it last! Makes about a quart.

14 ounce can of coconut milk
1/2 cup agave syrup
