Strawberry Cream Popsicles (Dairy-Free!)
These refreshing strawberry popsicles are made right at home with simple, healthy ingredients. A delicious blend of sweet & creamy!
Servings: 10 pops
Ingredients
- 13.5 oz. can coconut milk, full-fat
- 2 cups strawberries (I use frozen)
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup (or more)
- 1 1/2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Optional:
- 1/2 cup dairy-free Greek yogurt, lemon zest, etc.
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender. (I give the can of coconut milk a good shake before opening to help combine the separated layers.)
- Blend for about 20-30 seconds until completely silky and smooth.
- Then pour the mixture into popsicle molds (leaving a little space to allow for expansion). Add popsicle sticks, then place in the freezer for about 5-6 hours, or until frozen solid.
- To remove popsicles from the mold, set them on the counter at room temperature for several minutes, or run the mold under warm water for a few seconds to help them slide out.
Notes
Yield: Recipe makes about 3 cups (24 ounces) of the liquid strawberry mixture pre-frozen. For my popsicle mold, this makes roughly 10 (2.5-ounce) pops. You may find it's more or less depending on your mold. (I use a silicone mold.) If using the optional yogurt, I get about 12 pops.
Variations: Add more maple syrup for sweeter, creamier pops. Or add more lemon juice, lemon zest, banana, or even fresh mint or basil for an herby flavor.
Estimated nutritional content: This is calculated without the optional yogurt.
