Strawberry Popsicles are a refreshing, naturally sweet frozen treat made with real strawberries and a touch of honey or sugar. These easy, homemade popsicles are perfect for hot summer days and are loved by kids and adults alike.
Ingredients
- 2½ cups fresh strawberries hulled
- 2 –3 tablespoons honey or sugar adjust to taste
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ¼ cup water optional, for thinning
- Optional: ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract or a few mint leaves for flavor twist
Instructions
- Blend ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine strawberries, honey (or sugar), lemon juice, and optional vanilla or mint. Blend until completely smooth. Add a splash of water if mixture is too thick.
- Taste and adjust: Taste the puree and adjust sweetness as needed.
- Fill molds: Pour the mixture evenly into popsicle molds. Tap gently to remove air bubbles.
- Insert sticks and freeze: Insert popsicle sticks and freeze for at least 4–6 hours, or until solid.
- Unmold and serve: To release, run the mold under warm water for 10–15 seconds and gently pull the popsicles out.
