Wash and hull the strawberries. Pat them dry with a towel and set them aside.
Place the strawberries into a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth, about 30-60 seconds.
Add the full-fat coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and salt to the blender with the strawberry puree. Blend again until fully combined and smooth.
Taste the mixture. If needed, adjust the sweetness by adding a little more maple syrup.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturerโs instructions (usually takes 20-30 minutes).
Once the mixture is thickened and has the consistency of soft-serve ice cream, transfer it to a lidded, freezer-safe container.
Cover the container tightly and place it in the freezer for at least 2-4 hours to firm up completely.
When ready to serve, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly before scooping.
Enjoy your homemade dairy-free strawberry ice cream!
