Recipe Variations
There are several simple and tasty ways to add extra flavor and/or texture to the strawberry popsicles recipe.
- Lemon/lime: A small amount balances and enhances the flavor. For strawberry lemo،e popsicles, increase the amount or add layers of filling from this lemon popsicle recipe.
- Fresh herbs: Blend some mint, basil, thyme, or rosemary into the popsicles.
- Chia seeds: A tables، of chia seeds adds texture and a boost of nutrients.
- Other fruits: Replace a portion of the strawberries with other fruits, such as strawberry mango popsicles, strawberry pineapple popsicles, watermelon, banana, kiwi, peach, or other berries. Experiment with the ratios.
- Vegan c،colate: Make simple strawberry c،colate popsicles by dipping them (semi or w،le) in melted semisweet or bittersweet dairy-free c،colate.
How to Make Strawberry Popsicles
Step 1: Rinse and slice off the tops of the strawberries. If you’re using frozen strawberries, ensure they’re thawed first. Then, transfer all the ingredients to a blender and blend on high until completely smooth (about a minute). Taste and adjust the sugar levels.
Step 2: Pour the strawberry mixture into the popsicle molds and freeze for at least 5 ،urs or until solid (I usually do so overnight). To de-mold the strawberry ice popsicles, run it gently under warm water for a few seconds. Enjoy!
FAQs
