7. Step 7: Place the covers and popsicle sticks on the molds, then freeze overnight until solid.
8. Step 8: To remove popsicles, run molds under warm water for about 30 seconds, then carefully pull on the sticks to release them.

Tips & Variations

• For a tart twist, add a bit more lime juice to the strawberry mixture before blending.
• Replace maple syrup with honey or agave syrup if preferred.
• Use full mango slices instead of cubed mango for a chunkier texture.
• Try layering other fruits like kiwi or blueberries for different flavor combinations.

Storage

Store the popsicles in the freezer in their molds or an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. To enjoy, remove from the freezer and let sit for a couple of minutes for easier eating. Re-freezing after thawing is not recommended for best texture.

FAQs

Can I skip cooking the strawberries?

Yes, you can blend fresh strawberries without cooking. Cooking softens them and intensifies the flavor, but fresh strawberries will still work well in this recipe.

What if I don’t have popsicle molds?

You can use small paper cups and popsicle sticks or even ice cube trays if molds are unavailable. Just be sure to cover them loosely with foil and insert sticks for easy removal.
