Strawberry Popsicles

中文菜谱:草莓冰棍

Strawberry popsicle is one of my favorites in hot summer time.  They are super simple and easy to make, but the flavor is so great that you will not want to go back to the store bought popsicles ever again.  O(∩_∩)O~

Ingredients:

1 pound fresh strawberries
2/3 cup sugar (use more if you have a sweet tooth)
1/3 cup of water

Directions:

In a small sauce pan , add sugar and water.  Heat it over medium low heat.  Whisking occasionally until all sugar dissolves.  Remove from heat.  Let it cool down to room temperature.

Remove strawberries’ stems and cut each of them into halves or quarters.

Add strawberries and syrup to a vitamix 

Blend at high speed for 10 to 20 seconds until the mixture is very silky and smooth. 

Pour into popsicle molds

Cover and add popsicle sticks

Freeze for at leat 4 to 6 hours, or overnight.

Dipping the molds into hot water for 15 to 20 seconds will help to easily unmold the popsicles.
