Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 (16 ounce) frozen unsweetened strawberries, thawed
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup honey
You will need a popsicle mold and 10 wooden popsicle sticks.
Instructions
- Add the strawberries, water and honey to a blender. Blend until very smooth. If prefer to have pieces of strawberries in your popsicles, you can simply pulse just until blended.
- Pour the strawberry mixture into the popsicle molds, allowing room for the popsicle sticks. Don’t over fill.
- Place the lid on and insert the wooden sticks. I place the sticks all the way down, but you can leave more of the stick showing if you prefer, especially if small children will be holding them.
- Place the mold on a level shelf in your freezer. Allow the popsicles to freeze for at least 4 hours.
- Remove the popsicle mold from the freezer. Gently pour some very warm water over the bottom of the mold and slowly wiggle and pull out each popsicle.
- If the popsicles are slightly soft, place them on a parchment lined baking sheet, and return to the freezer for a few minutes.
- You can slide each popsicle into a popsicle bag if you prefer, before returning them to the freezer. They are sold on Amazon. If you don’t have popsicle bags, place each one in a sandwich bag and freeze. You can also stack them with a piece of waxed paper or parchment paper between them, and place in a freezer safe air tight container.
- Properly sealed popsicles can be left in the freezer for up to three months.
Notes
- If you use frozen sweetened strawberries or fresh strawberries, you might not have to use the entire 1/2 cup of honey. Do a taste test before adding all of it.
