Strawberry chia ice cream

Strawberry Chia ice cream


Strawberry and chia, chia and strawberry. Sounds good? Sounds really good? Well it tastes even better!! I promise you, this one you should try! One of my favorite things to do and want to hear a secret?? I don't even like strawberries! I know! How odd am I! However this ice cream I love and the taste! Oh my the taste is soooo good. Can you hear how proud I am of this recipe I made ;) And it is really easy to make. The chia seeds make the ice cream crunchy and lovely :)



1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries
1.5 cup heavy cream
3 tbls chia seed
10 tbls water
1/2 cup sukrin melis or another granulated sugar sub.
8 drops of strawberry stevia


First thing you do is to put water and chia seeds in a small bowl and let sit there for about half an hour. Then you take everything and put in a mixer and mix until it is smooth. Put in a box and in the freezer for about 1,5-2 hours. It gets really hard but if you take it out 20-30 mins before serving it will be perfect!
