Essential Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:
Frozen Strawberries: Opt for ripe strawberries for maximum sweetness; frozen ones work best to achieve that soft-serve texture.
Coconut Milk: Use full-fat coconut milk for creaminess; it adds a tropical vibe and enhances flavor.
Honey or Maple Syrup: Choose your sweetener based on preference; both add natural sweetness without overpowering the strawberries.
Lemon Juice: Fresh lemon juice brightens flavors; don’t skip it if you want that zingy balance!
Vanilla Extract: A splash of vanilla rounds out the flavor nicely; always go for pure extract if you can.
