Strawberry & Cream Popsicles

Why is it that ice cream takes four hours to freeze but only four minutes to melt? Taking photos of ice cream is sort of a challenge, to say the least.  You have about three minutes before everything turns saucy.

Popsicles. The heat made me do it. I had three hours of mowing ahead so I knew I would need something cold and refreshing. I don’t have an ice cream maker but I have plastic popsicle molds.  So I whipped up these Strawberry Cream Popsicles. They are refreshing, fruity and perfect for summer.

1. Puree strawberries with 1 tbsp of powdered sugar. Set aside.

2. Whip the cream. Add yogurt and 5 tbsp of powdered sugar.

3. Layer the popsicles by adding cream, then a layer of the pureed strawberries and another layer of cream. Insert a popsicle stick and swirl gently to combine slightly.
