3-Ingredient Strawberries and "Cream" Popsicles

I can't believe its mid-June, and almost the summer solstice is just near. In Seattle, even the winter months are in bloom. Life here never stops blossoming. I love the camellia flower as its so beautiful and there is one style of camellia that is red and white, mainly striped. 

I got this 1950 summery red and white polka dot dress that I've been waiting to find inspirations from in nature. The idea for something red and white was inspired by the flowers but decided to do something cooling for summer. And that is where I decided to make something that was along the lines of "strawberry and cream." 

Simple. Sweet. And Neat.

This summer has no doubt been difficult mentally and emotionally. This blog is an outlet for me to stay  "happy" even for a moment in time. This wasn't the summer that everyone dreamed of, but we must do what we can with what we have. 

Now that the sun is out, and starting to feel a bit like summer, it is time to stay cool, the healthy way. 

Everyone has different popsicle molds, and during covid19 it was near impossible to find the molds in store. I did find three at a store that lateral, and not horizontal like traditional molds sold in 6-10packs. 

I tried to make these by layering the coconut cream and pureed strawberries, as is, but also with marbling them with a toothpick or knife. 

You can choose how you want to make the popsicles, but hopefully this will give you some ideas on inspirations to hold close to your heart. I think blending the entire mixture together would also be a sweet treat! Enjoy!

3-Ingredient Strawberries and "Cream" Popsicles
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Freeze Time - Several Hours to Overnight 
Makes 3

Ingredients:
1 can of coconut milk, chilled overnight
1.5 cups fresh strawberries, chopped
2 tbsp agave sweetener

Directions: 
Puree the strawberries with one tablespoon of agave. Open the can of coconut milk and scoop out of the coconut cream. Mix the coconut cream and the other one tablespoon of agave together until blended and smooth. 

Use a spoon to alternate the strawberry and then the coconut cream into the popsicle molds until full. If you want to marble the molds, use a knife of toothpick to run it up and down the mixture. 

I used horizontal molds which you fill on the side. The vertical molds layer differently but can swirl a toothpick around inside the mold. Freeze for several hours or overnight. Enjoy cold!
