Ingredients and substitutions:
- Coconut milk - full fat coconut milk makes these popsicles so creamy and rich. The coconut milk is used for both the vanilla layer and the strawberry layer. Be sure to use full fat coconut milk rather than light coconut milk as low fat coconut milk is too watery and will make the popsicles less creamy and more icy.
- Strawberries - fresh strawberries add a delicious flavour and beautiful pink color to these popsicles. You could also use frozen strawberries.
- Vanilla extract - to help enhance the flavours of these popsicles.
- Maple syrup - this natural sweetener is used to add a little more sweetness while keeping this dessert refined sugar free. You could also swap this for honey.
How to make (step-by-step):
Step one:
First, start by making the vanilla layer. To do this you will place all the vanilla layer ingredients into your food processor or high speed blender and blending them until smooth.
Step two:
Next, pour the ingredients into your popsicle molds (about a third to half full) and place them in the freezer and freeze for 20-25 minutes.
Step three:
While the vanilla layer is freezing, add the strawberry layer ingredients to your food processor or blender and blend well until smooth.
Step four:
Then remove the popsicle molds from the freezer and pour the strawberry layer on top of the vanilla layer.
Step five:
Now place the lid on the popsicle mold and put the popsicle sticks into each popsicle (use the slots on the top of the lid of your popsicle mold). Then place the molds back in the freezer and freezer for 3 hours, or until fully frozen. Then serve and enjoy!
Top tips:
- Don't worry about taking the stems off the strawberries - you can't taste them once they're blended so you can reduce your food waste by leaving them on (plus this makes them even easier to make).
- Run the outside of the popsicle mold under hot water for a few seconds when you remove it from the freezer to make the popsicles easier to remove from the mold.
Recipe variations and add ins:
- You can use either fresh or frozen strawberries to make these popsicles.
- Use either honey or maple syrup to naturally sweeten this dessert.
- If you have more than one popsicle mold feel free to make a double or triple batch and save some for later.
- To make these popsicles higher in protein add a few scoops of collagen peptides to the recipe.
How to store:
Store these popsicles in the freezer in your popsicle mold until you are ready to eat them. They can be stored for up to 3 months.
Frequently asked questions:
Yes it is! Just be sure to use maple syrup instead of honey to sweeten them.
Absolutely. Instead of strawberries they are also delicious with raspberries or blueberries.
You can make popsicles more creamy by adding coconut milk. This fat in the coconut milk keeps the popsicles nice and creamy, and adds even more flavour.
