Categories     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 4

8 ounces fresh strawberry ((rinsed and hulled))
1½ cup whole milk
½ cup sugar
½ cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Set aside 3 strawberries.
  • In a food processor or blender, puree the rest of the strawberries. Strain the mixture through a strainer into a large bowl. Discard the seeds.
  • In the same food processor or blender, add ½ cup milk and sugar. Process until the sugar has dissolved completely, about 1 minute. Add to the puree.
  • In the same food processor or blender, roughly blend the reserved 3 strawberries into ¼-inch pieces. Pour into the puree.
  • In the puree bowl, add the rest of the milk and heavy cream. Mix well. Fill the popsicle molds with strawberry mixture. If using molds that contain sticks or hold wooden ones in place, put on lids and freeze. If using open cup molds, freeze until beginning to set, about 2 hours, then insert the sticks and put back in freezer.
  • After about 8 hours, popsicles are ready. If the popsicles are stuck in the molds, dip the molds in warm water for 10 seconds or so. Remove molds and serve.
