🙋 Recipe FAQs
Minimally, 3 hours. But I recommend letting them fully freeze which will take anywhere between 4-6 hours, depending on the internal temperature of the freezer.
It typically happens when there is too much water in the mixture. Ice crystals can form when making homemade popsicles due to a process called recrystallization.
Recrystallization occurs when the water in the popsicle mixture starts to freeze and then slowly melts and refreezes over time. To avoid this from happening, ensure you use full-fat coconut milk. The fat keeps the strawberry popsicles from becoming too icy in the freezer.
If you don't have popsicle molds try freezing the mixture in ice cube trays or in small plastic cups. You can also try some of these other creative ideas for freezing strawberry popsicles.
💭 Expert Tips
- If your strawberries aren't overly sweet, you can "perk" them up by combining 1 Tablespoon of your preferred sweetener with the sliced strawberries and let sit for at least an hour. The sugar will draw out the natural sugars of the berries (this is called macerating) and amplify the natural sweetness of the strawberries.
- If using fresh berries, use the ripest ones possible. This is a great recipe to use up overly ripe berries. Slightly bruised berries become the perfect ingredient for these strawberry popsicles.
- Run lukewarm water over the mold to easily remove the popsicle.
- Store these in the freezer and eat within 1 week.
