Colorado's Strawberry Hemp Heart Frozen Dessert

How many desserts can you claim have a substantial amount of nutritional value?! And fyi – you can dice an extra 1 c of strawberries, marinate them for an hour or so in a little cointreau and sugar, then drain the strawberries and add them to the dessert in the last minute of churning. Adds a delicious and pretty touch.

  • 1 c hemp hearts (hulled hemp seeds)
  • 3 1/2 c hemp milk, or nondairy milk of choice
  • 2 c strawberries, hulled
  • 1/2 c maple syrup
  • 2 T freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 T cointreau
  • 1/2 tsp Diamond kosher salt

Place the frozen freezer bowl of the ice cream maker into your ice cream machine.

In a covered container, combine the hemp hearts and hemp milk. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours (do not drain).

Once the hemp hearts have soaked in the hemp milk, combine them in a blender with the strawberries, maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla, cointrea, and salt. Blend until smooth, which will take a more than a few minutes of blending to break down the hemp hearts.

Chill the mixture for at least 2 hours.

Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker, and follow your manufacturer’s instructions (about 20-30 minutes to churn). 

You can eat the dessert immediately (it will be like soft, icy ice cream) or freeze it in an airtight container for 3-4 hours to thicken it up slightly. For best results, allow the dessert to sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes to soften before serving.
