In a saucepan over medium heat, combine strawberries with other compote ingredients. Constantly stir until the water bubbles away and it thickens. This will take 10-15 minutes.
Allow the mixture to cool down for an hour. You can also place this in the refrigerator to chill.
For the Ice Cream
Blend together the ingredients for the ice cream in a food processor until a thick ice cream consistency forms.
You may have to stop the blender and scrape down the sides to help the blending process, adding a splash of water or plant-based milk if needed as well.
To Assemble
Add the ice cream into a cup and pour the strawberry mixture over it. Top with whipped cream, if desired.
