Prep Time: 15 minutes mins
Freeze Time: 3 hours hrs
Total Time: 3 hours hrs 15 minutes mins
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Servings: 12
- 2 pints fresh strawberries (about 1 1/2 pounds), hulled and sliced
- 3 Tablespoons granulated sugar (or more/less depending on sweetness of strawberries)
- 2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- finely grated zest from half a lemon
Optional Mix-Ins:
- sliced kiwi
- carrot-orange juice
In a bowl, combine sliced strawberries and sugar. Let sit for 10-15 minutes to allow strawberries to expel juice.
In a food processor (or blender), combine strawberry-sugar mixture, lemon juice and lemon zest. Process until smooth.
Pour strawberry puree into molds with wooden sticks and place in freezer.
Freeze for at least 3 hours until popsicle is solid. To remove popsicles from mold, submerge mold into room temperature or slightly warm water for a couple of minutes. Remove from water and pull popsicles out.
* If using kiwis, place a couple of sliced kiwis up against the inside of the mold. The kiwi should adhere to the sides. Then pour strawberry puree and freeze.
* If adding carrot-orange juice, add after filling mold halfway with strawberry puree. Then freeze as normal.
