Rinse and hull the strawberries. Chop 1 cup of strawberries for the sauce and slice the remaining 0.5 cup for topping.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the chopped strawberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Stir occasionally and cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until the strawberries have broken down and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Remove the strawberry sauce from the heat, and allow it to cool for about 5 minutes.
In serving bowls or glasses, place 2 scoops of dairy-free coconut milk ice cream in each.
Drizzle the warm strawberry sauce over the ice cream.
Top each sundae with sliced fresh strawberries and a dollop of dairy-free whipped topping.
If desired, sprinkle crushed nuts over the top for added texture.
Garnish with mint leaves for a fresh touch before serving. Enjoy your Dairy-Free Classic Strawberry Sundae!
