Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Cook for 5-7 minutes, mashing the strawberries slightly, until the sauce thickens.
About 7 min

Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice. Let the syrup cool completely, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve if you prefer a smoother syrup, pressing on the solids to extract all liquid.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: You can leave some small fruit pieces in the syrup for texture if desired.
- 4
Prepare the vegan condensed milk: Whisk together the coconut milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Ensure your canned coconut milk is full-fat for the best creamy consistency.
- 5
Using an ice shaver or a high-powered blender, shave the ice into fine, fluffy flakes.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: For blenders, pulse the ice in small batches until it reaches a snow-like consistency.
- 6
Divide the shaved ice between two serving bowls, mounding it high.
About 1 min
- 7
Generously drizzle the strawberry syrup over the shaved ice.
- 8
Finish by drizzling the vegan condensed milk over the syrup.
Cook’s note: Serve immediately to prevent the ice from melting.
