Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 3–4 medium lemons)
- 1/2 cup sweetener of choice (granulated sugar, honey, or agave nectar)
Instructions
- Rinse about 2 cups (300 g) of fresh strawberries, hull and chop them roughly.
- Squeeze 1 cup (240 ml) of fresh lemon juice, removing any seeds.
- Add the chopped strawberries, lemon juice, and 1/2 cup (100 g) sweetener to a blender. Puree until smooth and well combined.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or tartness by adding more sweetener or lemon juice as needed. Blend briefly again if adjusted.
- Pour the mixture evenly into popsicle molds, leaving a small gap at the top for expansion. Insert sticks.
- Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight for best firmness.
- To unmold, run warm water over the molds for 10-15 seconds and gently pull out each popsicle. Serve immediately.
Notes
For a smoother texture, blend strawberries until completely smooth to avoid gritty seeds. Adjust sweetness and tartness to taste. Freeze at least 4 hours or overnight for best results. Use warm water to release popsicles from molds easily. Variations include adding fresh herbs, mixing berries, or using natural sweeteners for low sugar options.
