Begin by washing and drying the fresh raspberries. Place them in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth.
Using a fine-mesh sieve, strain the raspberry puree into a bowl to remove the seeds, pressing down with a spoon to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the seeds.
In the cleaned blender or a large mixing bowl, combine the strained raspberry puree, full-fat canned coconut milk, coconut cream, maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt.
Blend or whisk together all the ingredients until fully combined and the mixture is smooth.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically around 25-30 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Transfer the churned ice cream into a freezer-safe container and smooth out the top with a spatula.
Cover the container with a lid or wax paper and place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until the ice cream is firm and scoopable.
Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly. Scoop into bowls and enjoy!
