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"?

A little sweet treat with a buzz! Strawberry Cappuccino Ice Cream that's just 3 ingredients, gluten-free, vegan, nut-free, paleo, and no bananas. A healthy and fun-flavored dessert you whip up right in your blender!

- 4 Cups Frozen Strawberries
- 2 TB Finely Ground Coffee

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 😛

Starr
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.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Haha, yea! It's just not so enjoyable when you have to worry about "chewing"!
Deborah Davis
This is so cool and easy, I have to make this Strawberry Cappuccino Ice Cream this week!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine

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!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Haha, the easier the better!

My favorite ice cream is any that has big chunks of chocolate. :-). I do love strawberries though, and this looks simple and delicious.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Well chocolate is always a good option no matter what 😉

Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
When can anything coffee be bad, you know? Hahaha! xoxo
Linda @ Veganosity
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. 🙂
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Thank you!
Hahaha, that's a good call 😉
Cheryl @ ReimerandRuby
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!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Haha, blenders are much easier 😉
Different Shores
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...
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Just simple and fresh here!
GiGi Eats
What a unique combo - looks insanely tasty!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine

Aleeha
Vegan icecream without bananas... finally! I hate banana pancakes and icecream... the flavour is just too overpowering for me!
Aleeha xXx
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Haha YES! Any banana ice cream ....just tastes like bananas 😛 So what's the point of flavors!? #TeamNoBanana
Ashley@CookNourishBliss
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!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Haha, I never have bananas in the house 😛 Bananas are just a cop-out for vegan ice creams 😉

I LOVE the combination of strawberry and coffee! So yum!! 😀
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
It is good! Thanks Sarah!
Sarah- A Whisk and Two Wands
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.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
I have a feeling you would LOVE this 😉
Ellen @ My Uncommon Everyday
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.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
I'll just pretend you like drinking coffee too 😉 Hahaha!
Strawberry chip sound like the bomb!!!
Erica D
I haven't had pistachio ice cream in a long time. You talking about it made my mouth water!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Haha, I've only had it a few times in my life, but I do miss it!
Nicole George
This looks absolutely delicious! I can't wait to try this. We just made some strawberry lemonade popsicles. Strawberries are so good this time of year!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Right? One of the best fruits of summer!
Marye
This looks so refreshing, perfect for the hot summer days!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
It sure is!
Emily @ Recipes to Nourish
I love all things ice cream. This sounds yummy.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Thank you Emily!
natalie welanetz
This looks delicious, its going to be near 100 degrees where I am today...might have to try!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
I think that's a good plan 😉
Manila Spoon (Abigail)
I love the little spots of coffee all over! This sounds so amazing and can't wait to try it!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Haha, it reminds me of a vanilla bean ice cream with the specks!
Lecy | A Simpler Grace
Happy birthday! This ice cream looks so good. Can't wait to try it!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Thank you Lecy!

Happy third birthday! My favorite ice cream flavor is chocolate and PB 🙂
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Thank you!
Well chocolate and PB anything is NEVER a let down!
Laura
Now this is a new flavour combo I'll have to try . . . I never object to ice cream, and I love trying it with different fruits and not using banana.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
We never need bananas (...I just never have them so...) hahaha! I make do!
alyssa
Girl, way to go. This looks and sounds amazing.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Aw, thank you!
