A little sweet treat with a buzz! Strawberry Cappuccino Ice Cream that’s just 3 ingredients, gluten-free, and vegan. A healthy and fun-flavored dessert you whip up right in your blender!
We all scream for ICE CREAM! I guess we should celebrate Strength and Sunshine’s 3rd birthday (which was yesterday) with some sort of sweet treat! A little ice cream seems to me like the perfect idea!
My favorite “hard ice cream” (not soft serve; that was always vanilla chocolate twist!) flavors growing up were as follows: strawberry, Neapolitan, coffee. I was talking with my dear and lovely friend Amiee a few weeks ago about this flavor preference. This gave me the grand idea of combining strawberry wth coffee ice cream for the ultimate flavor love! It would either be a disgusting disaster or a delicious delicacy!
Now, I’m no ice cream expert, but you can tell I’ve been practicing. I’m all about keeping these vegan ice creams simple and easy, with no bananas! Just some canned coconut milk, frozen strawberry, and finely ground coffee! I wish I could have left you all with a cliff-hanger, but I wouldn’t be posting this if it didn’t work. I must say, blending up ice cream is kind of fun. It actually requires me to take out one of my 7 blenders (blenders, grills, I know!) Any type of recipe that you can easily change up the flavors, like granola, pancakes, or hummus is just the best. One thing that’s been bugging me: should this be called “nice cream” even though it’s banana-free? Should it be …”straice cream”?
Strawberry Cappuccino Ice Cream
- 1 Cup Lite Culinary Coconut Milk
- 4 Cups Frozen Strawberries
- 2 TB Finely Ground Coffee
- Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth and creamy!
Ben and Jerry’s, or even Starbucks for that matter, should hit me up for flavor ideas because this is bomb! It worked, it worked! But maybe all ice cream flavors work…I mean it is ice cream after all! I even had this secret thing for pistachio ice cream for the longest time, except I didn’t like the actual pistachios in the ice cream, just the green ice cream! Haha! I did always want real strawberry pieces in my strawberry ice cream, though.
So tell me:
+ Favorite hard ice cream flavor?
+ Smooth or crunchy? I think it’s like the “nuts in baked goods” kind of thing for me. Sprinkles are the exception, but they don’t really count as crunchy 😛

Perfect!
I love the little kick of coffee in there! Cool (haha) pairing with strawberries!

Your strawberry/coffee flavour combo sounds delish!… Generally speaking, I like my ice cream smooth. And am especially opposed to chocolate chunks. They just get too hard and unpleasant in ice cream.
Haha, yea! It’s just not so enjoyable when you have to worry about “chewing”!
This is so cool and easy, I have to make this Strawberry Cappuccino Ice Cream this week!

Simplest, easiest ice cream recipe ever! We’ve been making freezer ice cream, so much easier than getting out the ice cream maker, but this is even cooler than that! Delish! Thanks for creating this!

Nothing missing, how good this ice cream would be on a hot day, so refreshing.

My favorite thing about your blog is how simple and quick the ingredients are in your recipes!!! I love this so much! I have frozen strawberries and coffee, going to have to get some of that milk 🙂
O thank you so much sweetheart!!
Any canned coconut milk will work!
How easy is that to make? Awesome and I love the combo of the coffee and strawberry. Happy blogiversary for yesterday! 3 years? Your officially a blogging veteran!

My favorite ice cream is any that has big chunks of chocolate. :-). I do love strawberries though, and this looks simple and delicious.
Debbie recently posted…The Friday Wrap Up: Jazzercise Live, Skirt Sports Sale, Prime Day and More
Well chocolate is always a good option no matter what 😉
Hi Rebecca,
Yum! What a great idea to use the cappuccino in ice-cream. Sounds pretty good to me and so refreshing.

Happy blog birthday! This is the perfect recipe to celebrate it. I love coffee ice cream too, one of my favorites. You can certainly call this nice cream. I think anything that doesn’t have animal products is nice. 🙂
Linda @ Veganosity recently posted…Vegan Chocolate Mint Protein Brownies
Thank you!
Hahaha, that’s a good call 😉
Looks so delicious…. We were given an ice cream maker last Christmas and it has never been used since then as I can’t be bothered with all the preparation. I’m glad to see to recipe as it’s seems simple and easy to make too. Thanks for sharing!
Cheryl @ ReimerandRuby recently posted…Why I choose Family first, work next
Haha, blenders are much easier 😉
That is intriguing! Love ice cream but could never be bothered with all the stirring, and the ingredients are always so heavy (cream etc). Three ingredients = my kind of recipe! I imagine it perks you up as well…. love anything with caffeine in it…
Just simple and fresh here!
What a unique combo – looks insanely tasty!

I wouldn’t have thought of combining cappuccino with strawberries, but it sounds lovely! And I like that this recipe only contains 3 ingredients! 😀
Right? Weird, easy, and delicious 😉
Oh, yum!!! Love the flavor combos of this!! What a great idea!
Thank you Danielle!
These flavors sound amazing. My daughter loves coffee flavored ice cream.I will have to try this!

Strawberry is my favourite icecream – love the look of this recipe!

Vegan icecream without bananas… finally! I hate banana pancakes and icecream… the flavour is just too overpowering for me!
Aleeha xXx
Haha YES! Any banana ice cream ….just tastes like bananas 😛 So what’s the point of flavors!? #TeamNoBanana
I love that you didn’t use bananas for this! I have a slight allergy to bananas and I hate that so many nice creams I can’t really enjoy! Love the strawberry coffee combo!

I LOVE the combination of strawberry and coffee! So yum!! 😀
It is good! Thanks Sarah!
Ok I’m intrigued! I love coffee and berries and raspberry mochas/lattes and cherry mochas/lattes but can’t say I remember having strawberries and coffee together.
I have a feeling you would LOVE this 😉
Fun fact: I like coffee ice cream, but not actual coffee. I think the cream mellows it nicely, so this sounds fabulous 🙂 I did a blueberry-strawberry swirled ice cream recently, so that was fun, but my fave flavor in general is a New Orleans Praline Pecan I get in Chicago a lot or Strawberry Chip, which is super-fresh strawberry ice cream with enormous dark chocolate chunks. Great stuff.
Ellen @ My Uncommon Everyday recently posted…(Paleo) Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
I’ll just pretend you like drinking coffee too 😉 Hahaha!
Strawberry chip sound like the bomb!!!
I haven’t had pistachio ice cream in a long time. You talking about it made my mouth water!
