Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups frozen strawberries (or fresh) For the sweetest results, opt for ripe, in-season strawberries. If using fresh, consider freezing them for a few hours before blending for better texture.
  • 1 cup unsweetened yogurt (coconut or regular) Choose your favorite yogurt; creamy coconut yogurt adds tropical vibes!
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (or favorite liquid sweetener) Adjust the sweetness level to your taste; honey or agave syrup can also be used as alternatives.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional) This adds a warm, comforting undertone.
  • 1 Tbsp tapioca starch (optional) Helps to create a creamier texture.
  • 1 tsp beet powder (optional) For a natural, vibrant color boost.
  • 1 cup white chocolate (optional for dipping) A drizzle of melted chocolate adds decadence.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prep the strawberries by chopping them into smaller pieces.
  2. Blend the strawberries, yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, tapioca starch, and beet powder in a blender until smooth (1-2 minutes). Adjust sweetness as needed.
  3. Pour the creamy mixture into popsicle molds, filling each cavity almost to the top.
  4. Insert popsicle sticks centered in the molds and freeze for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight.
  5. If dipping in chocolate, melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in short bursts, stirring until smooth.
  6. Once fully frozen, remove bars from the molds and dip them halfway in melted chocolate.
  7. Set the dipped bars on a parchment-lined baking sheet and allow the chocolate to set, either at room temperature or in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
  8. Enjoy immediately or store leftovers in a sealed bag in the freezer for up to two months.

Notes

For best flavor, allow bars to freeze overnight. To prevent ice crystals, ensure bars are sealed in an airtight container. Various fruits can be swapped for different flavors.
