Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups chopped strawberries fresh or frozen, thawed
  • 1 2/3 cups full-fat coconut milk
  • 6 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon lime zest

Instructions

  • Make the Creamy Coconut Base: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cornstarch and maple syrup first. Pour in a small splash of the coconut milk and whisk until completely smooth with no lumps remaining. Slowly add the rest of the coconut milk, stirring well until everything is fully combined.
  • Cook Until Slightly Thickened: Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture gently, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. After about 8–10 minutes, the mixture should thicken slightly, becoming silky and smooth.
  • Cool the Mixture: Remove the saucepan from the heat. Cover the surface directly with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming while it cools. Let the mixture rest for a few minutes.
  • Blend the Strawberry Filling: Add the chopped strawberries, cooled coconut mixture, lime juice, and lime zest to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. Give it a quick taste and adjust the lime juice or zest if you’d like a brighter citrus flavor.
  • Fill the Popsicle Molds: Carefully pour the strawberry mixture into your popsicle molds. Gently tap the molds on the counter a few times to release any trapped air bubbles.
  • Add Extra Strawberry Pieces (Optional): If you want extra texture and bursts of fresh fruit, tuck a few small strawberry slices into each mold before freezing.
  • Insert the Popsicle Sticks: Place the lid on the popsicle mold if your mold includes one. Insert a popsicle stick into the center of each mold, leaving about 1½ inches exposed for easy holding later.
  • Freeze Until Firm: Transfer the molds to the freezer and freeze for at least 8 hours, or overnight for the best texture.
  • Unmold and Enjoy: When you’re ready to enjoy your homemade strawberry popsicles, fill a shallow pan with hot water. Dip just the bottom tips of the popsicle mold into the hot water for about 10 seconds to help loosen the popsicles for easy release.
