Ingredients
Scale
Strawberry Layer
- 440 g fresh strawberries
- 40 ml pure maple syrup
Yogurt Layer
- 200 g coconut yogurt (or other non-dairy yogurt)
- 150 g chilled full-fat canned coconut milk
- 60 ml pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberry Layer: Wash the strawberries thoroughly, remove the stems, and cut them into quarters. Place your popsicle molds on a tray that fits into your freezer for easy handling.
- Blend Strawberries: Add the quartered strawberries and 40 ml of pure maple syrup to a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth.
- Fill Molds with Strawberry Mixture: Pour the strawberry puree evenly into 10 popsicle molds. Cover the molds and freeze them for about 1 hour or until the strawberry layer is set firmly enough to hold the next layer.
- Prepare Yogurt Layer: Combine the coconut yogurt, chilled canned coconut milk, 60 ml pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract in the blender or food processor. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Pipe Yogurt Layer: Transfer the yogurt mixture into a piping bag. Pipe it carefully on top of the partially frozen strawberry layer in each mold. Insert a wooden stick through the center of each popsicle, applying gentle pressure so it goes through the strawberry layer.
- Freeze Completely: Place the filled molds back into the freezer and freeze the popsicles for 4 hours or until fully set.
- Unmold Popsicles: To remove the popsicles easily, run the molds under warm water for 10-20 seconds making sure not to let water enter the molds. Gently pull the popsicles out.
- Store: Keep the popsicles stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months for best freshness.
Notes
- Use full-fat canned coconut milk chilled for a creamier yogurt layer.
- You can substitute coconut yogurt with any other non-dairy yogurt of your choice.
- Pure maple syrup provides natural sweetness, but adjust the quantity to taste if desired.
- Ensure the strawberry layer is fully set before adding the yogurt layer to prevent mixing.
- Use a piping bag to keep the yogurt layer neat and even.
- Running the molds under warm water helps release the popsicles without cracking.
