Strawberry Matcha Latte Popsicles (Printable)
Creamy layers of fresh strawberry and earthy matcha latte frozen into refreshing popsicles for summer.
# What You'll Need:
→ Strawberry Layer
01 - 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
02 - 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
03 - 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
→ Matcha Latte Layer
04 - 1 1/4 cups whole milk or dairy-free alternative
05 - 1 tablespoon culinary-grade matcha powder
06 - 2 tablespoons hot water
07 - 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
08 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
# How To Make It:
01 - Combine strawberries, honey or maple syrup, and lemon juice in a blender. Process until completely smooth, scraping down sides as needed.
02 - Distribute blended strawberry mixture evenly among popsicle molds, filling each mold approximately halfway. Place molds in freezer for 30-45 minutes until partially set but not completely frozen.
03 - Whisk matcha powder with hot water in a small bowl until fully dissolved and smooth, ensuring no lumps remain.
04 - Combine milk, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl. Gradually stir in the dissolved matcha mixture until fully incorporated and uniform in color.
05 - Gently pour matcha latte mixture over the partially frozen strawberry layer in each mold, filling to the top. Avoid disturbing the bottom layer.
06 - Insert popsicle sticks into each mold. Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until completely solid.
07 - Run molds briefly under warm water for 10-15 seconds to loosen popsicles. Gently pull sticks to release from molds. Serve immediately.
