Description
A vibrant, two-layer frozen treat combining sweet strawberries and juicy mango, naturally sweetened with maple syrup and perfect for cooling off on hot days.
Ingredients
3 cups strawberries, hulled
1 tbsp lime juice
1 tbsp maple syrup
3 cups cubed mango
1/3 cup orange juice
Instructions
- In a small pot over medium heat, combine strawberries, maple syrup, and lime juice. Cook 5–10 minutes until strawberries soften and flavors deepen.
- Transfer strawberry mixture to a blender and blend until smooth.
- Divide the strawberry puree evenly among popsicle molds.
- Rinse blender, then blend mango cubes with orange juice until smooth.
- Fill the remaining space in each mold with the mango puree. Optional: swirl gently with a knife or chopstick for a marble effect.
- Cap molds and insert sticks. Freeze for at least 4–8 hours, preferably overnight (6–12 hours).
- To unmold, run molds under warm water for 20–30 seconds, then gently pull on sticks to release popsicles.
Notes
- For a raw version, skip cooking the strawberries and blend thawed fruit directly.
- Add ¼ cup coconut milk or yogurt to one or both blends for a creamy texture.
- Store popsicles upright in molds or in a freezer-safe bag to prevent freezer burn.
- Run molds under warm water (20–30 seconds) for easy removal without melting the popsicle.
