Notes
*The calories listed are an approximation based on the ingredients in the recipe card and a serving size of 1 popsicle. Actual calories will vary.
*The frozen whipped cream has a light, airy consistency even when frozen. It doesn’t freeze the same as liquid heavy whipping cream.
*For a creamier strawberry puree, strain the mixture through a mesh sieve to remove the seeds prior to pouring into molds.
*Taste the strawberries ahead of time and adjust the honey accordingly. The puree may need more or less depending on how sweetness of the strawberries.
*To use whole milk or almond milk, simply combine the milk with remaining honey and vanilla using a whisk attachment. You don’t have to beat the liquid into a soft cream stage. Just mix the ingredients and continue on with the recipe at step 3.
