Ingredients For Strawberry and Cream Popsicles

Strawberries — use fresh, ripe strawberries. You can use frozen strawberries too, but this recipe is great for using up an overabundance of strawberries during strawberry season.

Cream —whipped adds creaminess to the popsicles.

Icing sugar – used to add a touch of sweetness to offset any tartness from the strawberries.

How To Make Strawberry and Cream Popsicles

Make the strawberry puree. In a bowl add the strawberries, powdered sugar, and water, then mix with a hand blender until the puree is smooth. Place a sieve on top of a large bowl, then pour the strawberry puree through the sieve. Pour the puree into the popsicle molds, making them about ¾ full. Freeze for 2 hours.

Now flip the mold over onto a plate or bowl. The unfrozen center will pour out. Fill the mold with whipped cream, leaving a small space on top. Insert ice cream sticks into the popsicles, then freeze again for 3 hours. After 3 hours, pour the last bit of strawberry puree on top (it should be filled to the brim). Freeze again for an hour and enjoy.

Tips

For extra richness, you can also use milk instead of water when mixing the strawberries.

For a pink popsicle, blend the strawberries and whipped cream together and freeze. This will create a creamy, pink popsicle.

For more flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract enhances the flavor of the popsicles.

Feel free to use honey instead of sugar as a sweetener.

For a healthier popsicle, omit the sugar and use Greek yogurt instead.

If you have a sweet tooth, use condensed milk instead of whipped cream. You can leave out the icing sugar.

Make them dairy-free by using coconut cream instead of whipped cream.

If you want the color and flavor to be more intense, add a tablespoon or two of freeze-dried strawberries.
