- 1 cup Strawberries (fresh, roughly chopped)
- 8 Dates (pre-soaked Dates, in 3-4 tbsp warm Spring Water)
- 2 tbsp Rice Malt Syrup (or Coconut Blossom/Maple Syrup or Raw Honey)
- 2 tbsp Chia Seeds
- ¼ cup Coconut Cream / Milk
- 1 cup Ice
- 1 tbsp Beetroot Juice (made from ¼ Beetroot & ¼ Orange to give bright pink colour and act as natural preservative)

- Blend the Dates and Water into a paste.
- Add the Rice Malt Syrup (or other natural sweetener) and half the roughly chopped Strawberries. Plus until just mixed together.
- Add the rest of the roughly chopped Strawberries - optional: pulse again if you want less chunky.
- Stir in the Chia Seeds and Beetroot Juice using a fork until mixed together well.
- Blend 1 cup of the Strawberry Jam Sauce with the Coconut Cream / Milk until smooth.
- Add Ice as needed and blend. And/or add a little Spring Water if becomes too thick to blend.
*You can put the Strawberry Jam Sauce in the fridge for 15-30 minutes to allow the Chia Seeds to expand to get more of a jam-like consistency, before making ice-cream (or keep in fridge ready to make ice-cream as needed).
*Store Strawberry Jam Sauce sealed in a glass jar in the fridge. Eat within 1-2 days.
*Once you’ve made ice-cream, enjoy straight away.
*Choose the cleanest ingredients possible:
-Choose spray-free/organic fresh produce for fresh ingredients where possible, and if buying conventional, rinse in diluted white vinegar water to remove.
-Choose dry ingredients (i.e. nuts, seeds, dried fruits ) that are spray-fee/organic where possible, and which don’t have preservatives such as sulphur dioxide.
- Choose virgin, cold-pressed Coconut Oil in glass where possible. It should be pure white in colour. Do not choose cheaper, deodorised/neutral flavoured coconut oils that are off-white.
-Choose Coconut Cream and Coconut Milk that is clean/free from additives, preservatives and E numbers. Plain Coconut Cream/Milk is better than the ones with added guar gum as this changes the consistency of recipes. You can use Nut Milk as an alternative.
-Choose to homemade Nut Milk instead of buying. Most store bought ones have additives and stabilisers. Quick Tip: It’s easy to make your own: just grind ¼ cup nuts, then blend with 1 cup water.
-Choose whole fruits over optional sweeteners if you need to add more sweetness. My preferred choice is Date Paste (pre-soaked Dates). Quick Tip: Keep a jar filled with Dates covered with water, in the fridge ready to go and use as is (instead of actually blending to make Date Paste).
