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.

(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.
