These strawberry popsicles will give you a moment of summer happiness! They are made with healthy ingredients and can be finished with chocolate icing. Delicious! It feels so good to have a stash of homemade popsicles in the freezer – give them a try on the next warm summer day!
Ingredients for making Strawberry Popsicles:
- Strawberries (fresh or frozen)
- Banana (ripe)
- Coconut milk (full-fat)
- Coconut yogurt
- Cashews
- Vanilla sugar (or real vanilla, then you have no industrial sugar at all in the popsicle)
Coating:
- Vegan dark chocolate (78%)
- Chocolate sprinkles
Needed Equipment:
- Blender
- Popsicle mold
The overall size of my popsicle mold is 21x14x10cm (8,2×5,5×3,9inch), and the capacity of each popsicle mold is 75 ml. It allows you to make 12 popsicles at once.
How to make Strawberry Popsicles:
First, soak the cashews in water overnight (or soak in a saucepan with hot water for 15 minutes if you want it quicker). The next day, when we puree them with the other ingredients, they will have a creamy consistency. Wash the strawberries and remove the stems. Put the soaked cashews (drain the soaking water first), ripe banana, coconut milk, coconut yogurt, and vanilla sugar in a blender and blend until you have a smooth consistency. Pour into popsicle molds, add popsicle sticks, and refrigerate overnight.
Chocolate Coating on our Strawberry Popsicles:
Break the chocolate into pieces and add them to a bowl. Let it melt in a narrow, tall pot in a hot water bath. Remove the frozen popsicles from the mold and quickly dip them into the chocolate bath. Immediately roll the popsicles in the sprinkles as the chocolate hardens super quickly.
Serving Suggestions:
You can transfer the frozen popsicles into a zipper bag and store them in the freezer if you need to use the mold for other popsicle projects. My new mold came with small plastic bags with sealing clips, so I could pack each popsicle separately before putting them all in a zip bag.
If you want the popsicle to be completely industrial sugar-free, you should replace the vanilla sugar with vanilla bean (or a vanilla flavor without sugar), and you have to leave out the coating. Then you have a sugar-free healthy ice cream, for example for young children.
