Servings: 10
Equipment
- 1 Blender
- 1 Popsicle Mold
- 10 Popsicle Sticks
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups chopped strawberries fresh or frozen and defrosted
- 1 2/3 cups full-fat coconut milk
- 6 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tbsp lime zest
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the cornstarch and maple syrup. Add a small amount of the coconut milk and whisk until smooth. Add the remainder of the coconut milk and stir until smooth.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened. This may take up to 8-10 minutes.
- Remove from heat. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap to the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Set aside.
- In a blender, combine chopped strawberries with the coconut milk mixture, lime juice, and lime zest. Blend until smooth. Taste and add lime juice and zest as desired.
- Pour into molds. Once the molds are filled, tap on the table to remove any air bubbles.
- Place the cover on the popsicle mold if it has one. Place a popsicle stick in the center of each well, leaving about 1 ½” of stick exposed.
- Freeze for at least 8 hours.
- When ready to unmold, fill a pan with hot water. Place the tips of the popsicle molds in the hot water for 10 seconds to make release easier.
Notes
Store in individual sealed plastic bags or wrapped in plastic wrap in the freezer for up to 1 month.
Add chopped strawberries into the mold before freezing to give the popsicles a fruitier texture.
