Strawberry Cream Popsicles Tips
- To make it easier to remove the treat from the mold, place the mold in a warm water bath for about 30-seconds just before serving.
- Want to remove the seeds, then strain the strawberry puree before placing it into the molds.
- The honey or maple syrup amounts may vary. Taste test the fresh berries beforehand and adjust the sweetener according to taste.
- For strawberry and cream popsicles with almond milk (or dairy milk) simply combine the milk with other ingredients as indicated in Step 2. However, the mixture doesn’t need to be whipped for 5-minutes. Everything can be mixed together for about 1-minute, then move to step 3. With that being said, the layers may blend together.
