Servings: 10
Equipment
- food processor or high speed blender
- popsicle molds
Ingredients
- 3 ¾ cup fresh strawberries (630 g)
- 3 Tablespoons granulated sugar (38 g), or more 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
Instructions
- 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.
