Strawberry Ice Pop 最适合炎炎夏日的草莓冰棒

I made strawberry ice pop at the same time when I made the Awfully Strawberry Pudding.

Basically the same ingredients go into the ice pop except the mixture is more diluted as more strawberry milk is used. To make ice pop, it is not necessary to add gelatin but since I already prepared the gelatin solution for the pudding, I thought I must well add a little bit, hoping that it helps to hold the ice pop for longer time before it starts to melt in room temperature.

The ice pop mould I used here is from Daiso. I bought it on the same day I bought the Madeleine pan and mini loaf pans. I was a happy girl that day. :) This is my first time using it.

This ice pop is simply the best treat in the hot day. It is so easy to make, anyone can make it at home.


I am submitting this to Aspiring Bakers # 5: Fruity March (March 2011) hosted by Jess from Bakericious.

Strawberry Ice Pop

Ingredients: (for 1-cup capacity ice pop mould)
5 – 6 medium strawberries (cut into small cubes)
2 tbsp Meiji strawberry yogurt
2 tbsp whipping cream (need not whip)
1 cup Meiji strawberry milk minus the above amount
2 – 3 tbsp sugar to taste (can make it slightly sweeter because after frozen it will taste less sweet)
1 tbsp gelatin solution (optional) (refer to HERE for the making of gelatin solution)

Method:
1) Combine strawberry cubes, strawberry yogurt and whipping cream in a measuring cup, fill with strawberry milk till 1 cup (240ml).
2) Add sugar and blend till smooth (to taste).
3) Now the mixture will have a lot bubbles on the surface. Pour the mixture in mould over the back of a spoon (one hand holding the blender jug while the other hand holding a spoon, facing down), this way you will get smooth mixture without bubbles. Place lips and freeze overnight.
4) To remove ice pop from mould, hold the ice pop mould upside down over running tap water (as shown in picture below). Then, hold the stick to release the ice pop gently. Do not force to release; else the ice pop will drop off from the stick. Instead, repeat the step till the ice pop can be easily loosened and released. Enjoy immediately!


Note:
I also added some strawberry cubes but I found that frozen strawberry was tasteless. Thus, I didn’t include in the above recipe.

  3. Oh, I didn't have any problem with problem with frozen strawberries. Your popsicles look fabulous. My moulds were from Ikea and they aren't that easy to be removed, even when rinsed with water.
