Creamy and so refreshing, you'll love these incredibly delicious Strawberry Popsicles! Homemade healthy strawberry cream popsicles are a simple no-sugar-added treat! And they are made with only 2 ingredients.
The first fresh local strawberries that pop up in your grocery store and farmer's market means one thing - winter is over and summer is here! And strawberry popsicles are perfect for summertime!
Summer is also a season for fresh fruit! Juicy seasonal strawberries taste so much better than the winter berries that are sold during the rest of the year. The joy that sweet summer berries can bring is only amplified when they're transformed into an amazing and creamy popsicle.
Kids love popsicles, and you'll feel great knowing these are healthy and free of refined sugar. Popsicles, like these Refreshing Watermelon and Lime Popsicles are so easy to make and loved by so many.
This is the time of year that I start grilling many different types of foods. And I also light up my smoker to make some amazing smoked foods, like these juicy smoked chicken thighs and this backyard BBQ juicy Lucy cheeseburger. And then I finish off a good summer meals with this Creamy Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream or this strawberry popsicle recipe!

🙋 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.
