Ingredients

500 ml (2 cups) full-fat coconut milk

300 g (2 cups) mixed berries (fresh or frozen)

200 ml (¾ cup) sweetened condensed milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Berry Mixture

Wash the berries thoroughly if using fresh fruit. Place the mixed berries in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. For a smoother texture, strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the seeds.

Step 2: Mix the Base

In a large mixing bowl, combine the coconut milk, condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.

Step 3: Add the Berry Puree

Pour the berry puree into the coconut milk mixture and stir gently until evenly combined. For a marbled effect, lightly swirl the puree instead of fully mixing it.

Step 4: Freeze

Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container with a lid. Smooth the surface with a spatula and cover tightly.

Freeze for 6–8 hours, or until firm.

Step 5: Serve

Remove the ice cream from the freezer 5–10 minutes before serving to soften slightly. Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy.

Tips for the Best Results

Use full-fat coconut milk for a richer and creamier texture.

Frozen berries work just as well as fresh berries and add convenience.

Add a tablespoon of lemon juice to enhance the berry flavor.

For extra texture, fold in chopped berries before freezing.
