Equipment

  • Popsicle Molds (I recommend a silicone popsicle mold)
  • Popsicle sticks
  • Large measuring cup

Ingredients

Strawberry Syrup:

  • 1 lb strawberries *washed + hulled

Coconut Milk Base:

  • 1 400ml/ 13.5oz can full fat Coconut milk (not the boxed kind)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp corn starch

Instructions

Strawberry Puree:

  • In a food processor, add strawberries. Sprinkle the corn starch on top. Pulse until mostly pureed with small chunks scattered throughout. The mixture should be 50% puree and 50% strawberry chunks. Set aside.

Coconut Milk Base:

  • In a large measuring cup (at least 4 cups), whisk together coconut milk and sugar.
  • Add pureed strawberries, mixing well. The mixture should be thick and chunky.

Make Popsicles:

  • Add strawberry puree directly into the coconut milk base. It's ok if both are still warm. For uniformly pink popsicles, mix well. For swirls of coconut milk, stir once gently to briefly combine.
  • Pour into popsicle molds. Cover and freeze for at least 6 hours but preferably overnight. If using molds that require popsicle sticks, don't forget to add the sticks 1 hr after placing in the freezer.
  • When the popsicles are completely frozen, unmold and enjoy! (FYI sometimes running the mold under hot water for 30 seconds makes it easier to unmold.)

Notes

Tips:
  • Keep the strawberry puree chunky. To mimic the texture and fresh flavor of Korean Strawberry Milk, don't puree too much. It should be 50% puree + 50% strawberry bits.
  • Don't skimp on the sugar. The sugar keeps the popsicles from becoming too icy.
  • Use silicone popsicle molds. To make unmolding the popsicles easier.
  • Stir before pouring into molds. That way, the strawberry chunks will be evenly distributed.
