Ingredients

• ⅓ cup water
• ¼ cup light corn syrup
• ¾ cup white sugar, divided
• 1 cup coconut cream
• ⅛ teaspoon xanthan gum
• 1 pound strawberries, hulled and evenly sliced

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Toss strawberries with 1/2 cup sugar in a large bowl until thoroughly combined. Spread on the lined baking sheet.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until tender, golden brown, and fragrant, about 10 minutes. Cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes.

Step 4

Transfer strawberries to a blender; puree until smooth. Press puree through a fine-mesh strainer using a spoon; discard seeds and pulp.

Step 5

Combine remaining 1/4 cup sugar and xanthan gum in a small bowl.

Step 6

Pour water into a small saucepan. Add sugar mixture and whisk vigorously until very smooth. Stir in corn syrup. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until sugar dissolves fully, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in strained strawberry puree and coconut cream.

Step 7

Transfer mixture to an airtight container and refrigerate until cold, at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours.

Step 8

Pour chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer's instructions until it reaches soft serve consistency, 15 to 25 minutes.

Step 9

Scoop soft serve into a piping bag using a spatula; pipe into ice cream cones.
