Dairy-Free Strawberry Raspberry Popsicle Recipe

Dairy-Free Strawberry Raspberry Popsicle Recipe

Dairy-Free Strawberry or Raspberry Popsicle Recipe

Have you looked at the ingredients of most
packaged ice cream lately?  We’ve decided our
delicious homemade frozen treats will be
the
only ice cream we eat!

 

 

 

If you can’t find popsicle molds locally, you can

find an abundance of choices online, including

Walmart, Bed Bath and Beyond, and Amazon.

 

This Recipe Makes 6 molded popsicles.

 

For dairy-free fudgesicles I use coconut cream
in place of yogurt.  
I look for at least 75% coconut
and 
22% fat. Unlike other fats, coconut saturated
fat has heart-healthy omega 3.
* See Health benefits of coconut cream.

 

(You can also use non-dairy yogurt). If you want
the the classic tart yogurt 
flavor, you may add
apple cider vinegar or lemon juice to taste
(1/2 tsp to 1 tsp).

 



 

 

Ingredients:

 

1 cups +2 tbs. coconut cream

2 cups of hulled strawberry or raspberry (fresh or frozen)sq

1 small frozen banana broken in pieces

2 to 4 tbsp. maple syrup (to taste)  Some sweetness

gets reduced when frozen. (Don’t use sugar-free

sweetener. It tends to be too icy).

1/8 tsp salt

1/4 rasp tapioca starch/flour

1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract or vodka or
sweet red wine will help keep

mixture from freezing rock hard.

For creamier texture add 1 to 3 tbs. nut butter or tahini.

 

Optional:  After removing from  mold,

Press Moist Pops on a dish or parchment
paper full of sprinkles

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Instructions:

Put a strainer over a bowl. Mash and press strawberry through.
strainer. (Discard pulp that doesn’t fall through as it contains seeds).
You may have 1 cup to 1½ cups of strawberry. That’s all you need.

Combine all ingredients in food processor until smooth. (Omit vanilla
if using vanilla-flavored yogurt.)

 

I recommend using a food processor, blender, or immersion

blender to ensure thorough blending. Taste, and add more

sweetener if needed – you want the mixture to taste a little too

sweet, as sweetness level will decrease once frozen.

 

For the kids, just press the moist pops on a

dish of sprinkles.

 

Pour into popsicle molds. Stand on flat surface in

freezer.  After about a 2 hours, insert popsicle

sticks into the fudgsicles and return them to the

freezer. Allow about 6 hours to freeze and serve.
