Strawberries & Cream Popsicles {Dairy-Free}
Ingredients
- 1 can (14 oz) coconut cream*
- 1/3 cup sugar (more or less to taste)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 2 lbs fresh strawberries
- Additional sugar to taste, if strawberries are tart
Instructions
- Refrigerate coconut cream until well chilled (I did it overnight).
- Chill mixing bowl and beaters for 5-10 minutes in the freezer prior to whipping cream.
- Place cold coconut cream in a mixing bowl. Beat for 3-5 minutes. Add in vanilla and sugar and whip to incorporate.
- Wash and hull strawberries, and puree in a blender. Taste for sweetness and add sugar if necessary. Keep in mind that the cream will add some sweetness, but some strawberries are tart and may need a little extra sweetener.
- Fold the cream into the strawberry mixture, and pour into popsicle molds. Freeze until hardened and enjoy!
Notes
* Coconut cream can be found in stores like Trader Joe’s, Asian markets, the Asian section of some grocery stores, or the mixers (like margaritas) section of some grocery stores.
* If you can’t find coconut cream, use full-fat coconut milk (canned). Look for milk withOUT guar gum as an ingredient. This is added to emulsify the cream…which means the cream won’t separate from the liquid, even when chilled. Cream content will vary from brand to brand.
*Regular cream can be substituted, use about 1 1/2 cups.

These look so good! And the fact that they are dairy-free is wonderful to me. I am lactose intolerant and miss eating creamy frozen treats. I will have to go to Costco and get some of their strawberries!
These look so good! I have a niece that has a diary intolercance and this will be perfect have in the freezer for when she comes over.
These look wonderful and healthy too. I bet many of the kids at our center would love these. Great for summer coming up!
