Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced Ensure your strawberries are ripe and sweet for the best flavor.
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese For a dairy-free version, consider using silken tofu or non-dairy yogurt.
  • 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup Adjust sweetness based on taste preferences.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice Enhances the natural sweetness of strawberries.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the hulled and sliced strawberries with lemon juice. Stir gently and set aside.
  2. In a blender or food processor, combine the ricotta cheese, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.
  3. Gently fold the strawberries into the ricotta mixture, being cautious not to puree the fruit.
  4. Carefully pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top.
  5. Place the popsicle sticks in the center of the molds.
  6. Allow the popsicles to freeze for at least 4–6 hours or until fully set.
  7. When ready to serve, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds to loosen the popsicles.

Notes

These popsicles can last for up to 3 months in the freezer. Wrap them individually in plastic wrap or place them in a freezer-safe bag to prevent freezer burn. Best enjoyed freshly made and frozen.
