Strawberry Orange Ice Cream with Chocolate Chips is a dairy-free and sugar-free ice cream recipe. There’s seriously no better dessert to satisfy that sweet tooth!
Strawberry Orange Ice Cream with Chocolate Chips
Welcome to another addition of Mystery Dish! For those of you who are new to Mystery Dish here is a quick run down. There are 12 bloggers in this group, each month, one of us “hosts” the Mystery Dish ingredients for that month. {meaning we pick the ingredients the other bloggers have to use to cook with} Once the ingredients are given we have until the end of the month to come up with a dish. Then we reveal those dishes to YOU! 🙂
This month, Allie over at Baking a Moment was the host, and let me tell you. I was actually a little stumped this month. First time ever! I was really trying to stick to the Paleo diet and wanted to make a dish that we could eat, that had a couple of the mystery dish ingredients in it, and stay budget conscious. The ingredients this month were:
- Champagne
- Strawberries
- Oranges
- Beets
- Filet Mignon
- Lobster
- Cream
- Chocolate
- Rose Water
- Rice
Now you see my dilemma. My first idea was to make Beet Ice Cream using coconut milk and then added some chocolate chips. I know, sounds kinda weird. A vegetable ice cream!?!? But thats what Mystery Dish is all about right? Well, let me tell you. NOT GOOD!!!! Vegetables were not meant to be in ice cream. So, that one got thrown out.
Second attempt was to make Strawberry Orange Ice Cream {using Coconut Milk} and then throw in some Mini Chocolate Chips. Ding ding ding… we have a winner!
Not only is this dish dairy free, it is also sugar free, which makes it Paleo! {woot woot} It is also absolutely delicious! The strawberries totally make this dish shine, the coconut milk makes it nice and creamy and then there is the zing from the orange zest. I hope you give it a try, it will definitely wow you!
How to Make this Satisfying Strawberry Dessert
To get started, place freezer safe bowl and freezer bowl of ice cream maker in the freezer 24 hours prior to making the ice cream. Hull and halve 2 cups of fresh strawberries.
Place in a blender. Add two 15 oz. cans of Coconut Milk. {usually in the Thai or Asian section of the grocery store}.
Add 1/2 teaspoon of fresh orange zest. Next add 1/3 cup of agave nectar. Blend until smooth.
Add 1/2 cup of mini semi-sweet chocolate chips, do not blend again.
Transfer strawberry mixture to ice cream maker and follow ice cream maker instructions to churn ice-cream.
Eat right away or transfer to prepared freezer safe container to eat later.

This looks like my kind of ice cream! Thanks for linking up with What’s Cookin’ Wednesday!
Well I have more and I like to share, just bring a spoon. š Thanks for the party Karly, always have fun!
i am so impressed with this ice cream! it sounds amazing. and the fact that it’s healthy-ish too?!? even better! what a great mystery dish recipe š
haha.. thanks Sarah! I was fun to mess around and make! And yeah for a healthy dessert. š
Mmm. This looks good. Strawberry, coconut, chocolate. A wonderful combination! I love that it’s sugar free. Pinned!
Thanks Julie, it felt just as good in my tummy after I ate it too! š Thanks for the pin friend!
This ice cream looks incredible Krista! I love the coconut milk in here – you did a great job with the ingredients and keeping this paleo girl š
Thanks Kelly, it was definitely a little tricky but I was up for the challenge and this one was definitely a winner! š
Oh man, I so love the idea of doing mystery ingredient posts! It must be so much fun! Almost like being on an episode of Chopped!
I know! Its my favorite part about the mystery dish challenge, but it always challenges your “culinary chops”.
I keep telling my husband that we need to have a chopped date night, where he just shows up with random ingredients, gives me 45 minutes and I have to create a dish. I think I’d be more nervous about the time then anything else. š
I can’t believe this is paleo! It looks so creamy and so full of flavor! I’m glad you tried again after the beet ice cream š
I know right! Love it! The creaminess from the coconut milk is awesome. I’m glad I tried again after the beet ice cream too Cate. š
Krista, this ice cream looks so wonderful and love the flavors! I cannot stop laughing over the beet ice cream, I would have LOVED to see that. Totally inspiring me to open up the ice cream maker I got for Christmas, which has not made it out of the box yet. Thank you SO much for joining us and sharing at Best of the Weekend – pinned! Hope you are having a great Saturday and enjoy the weekend!
Yeah, I wish you would have been here to see my face AND my husbands face after trying it. eek….
Glad I’m inspiring some homemade ice cream, can’t wait to see a recipe coming out of Little Miss Celebration soon for ice cream then, ready go! š Hope you have a great weekend too my friend.
That ice cream looks amazing Krista! It would have been interesting to see the photos of the beet ice cream! š
Thanks Lisa! Yeah, I was thinking about saving them because the color was awesome! But, once I tasted it I deleted the pictures right away.
I love the ingredients used to make this ice cream. The flavor must be absolutely delicious! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Jodee! It was fun experimenting with the ingredients, and even more fun eating it. š
Oh wow, this ice cream is so pretty! Love the pink and how festive it is š Beets would’ve been impressive, but you can’t go wrong with strawberries. Or ice cream. Especially ice cream! š
Thanks Mary! Yeah, the beets were super pretty.. and awesome redish pink color but totally not there on taste. You are right, you can never go wrong with strawberries or ice cream. š
Hey, at least you tried it with the beets. But, I’m really liking your creation! Sharing on Fb today. (=
Very true, the beets were fun and the color was awesome but not so good on flavor. The second time was the charm. š Thanks so much for sharing sweet friend. š
Yum! And good to know beets don’t make good ice cream. š
hahaa.. yes.. you live and you learn. This was not a good learning experience… on my taste buds that is. š hehe
Seriously dying over this ice cream! It looks and sounds SO GOOD!!!!! We both had issues this month, huh? I had serious recipe block! You did great though, this ice cream sounds like a total winner!
hahaa.. I know! Oh well, it happens to the best of us. š Although, I’m kinda glad I wasn’t the only one that had “recipe block” this month. Your cupcakes seriously sounded sooo good Jen, can’t wait to try those. Thanks for the sweet encouragement chica, hope you have a great rest of the week!
I am so impressed that you kept this Paleo and it looks so delicious! You can never go wrong with ice cream!
Thanks Rachel, it was definitely a challenge but we came out with a fantastic finished product! š You are so right, can never go wrong with ice cream.
Looks delicious! I don’t think beets in ice cream would be good either but you found a winner for sure! š
Thanks Melanie.. yeah i guess my “thinking out of the box” with the beets back fired. But luckily I got this winner. š
haha.. I know. I just thought, well, they are naturally sweet.. and I like them.. Why not try them in ice cream? bahahah.. not good! š Glad I switched to the strawberries, MUCH better!
Gah! You must’ve been cursing my name over that list! Sorry!!! But I must say, you really knocked it out of the park! The photos are gorgeous and the flavors sound phenomenal… š
haha… no worries. I was up for the challenge. I was just wishing I was off the paleo! I was thinking filet mignon with creamy mushrooms sauce and goat cheese. None of which I could have. š Thanks on the photo props.. means alot girl! š Great ingredients this go around Allie!
Krista – That challenge sounds like a lot of fun! I love what you came up with within those ingredients. Nailed it. š
Thanks so much Chelsea! š We have guest posters each month if your ever interested in joining. It really is fun and challenges your culinary skills. {especially for me this month}
Yum…..! Strawberries and oranges were meant to be together, and ice cream is one of my guilty pleasures.
Right!? Seriously so good together! š
I say no matter what time of year it is Ice Cream Is always good!
Totally right with that Lara!
I love that you took a Paleo route here! Now I just need to get my hands on a darn ice cream maker!
haha… you can make it without an ice cream maker too. Just blend it like normal and then throw it in the freezer safe glass bowl and your good to go. The ice cream maker just makes it more soft serve consistency. š
This looks so amazing Krista!! I love the use of coconut milk and fruits!! You definitely made the ingredients work for your diet. I’m thinking I need to invest in a nice cream maker considering how much we consume in the summer.
Oh for sure you do. Plus, ice cream goes perfect with all those sweet treats you make. š
The coconut milk in this was a perfect substitute for regular milk, it was just as creamy as the original.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Oh my gosh, I’m picturing your face after tasting the beet ice cream and am cracking up! I can’t see it being very tasty either, although I bet it was a gorgeous color. I think cucumbers and carrots may be the only kind of veg I’d be willing to attempt putting in ice cream (cucumber melon smells good, so it has to taste good right? And come on, carrot cake ice cream. Yes). I didn’t know you were going Paleo, this had to have been TOUGH thinking up something. Way to show up the challenge by killing it with what looks to be delicious ice cream goodness. You can take anything the gals throw at you š
haha.. well my face was pretty funny but my husbands was hilarious!!!! He looked and me like I was crazy. I thought it was a good idea, but CLEARLY soooo not. Thats the fun of mystery dish though. š The whole paleo thing was for a 21 day fast we did with our church, but I will probably stick with it for the most part.
That carrot cake ice cream sounds good!
