Instructions

Wash, hull, and slice the strawberries.
200 gms Fresh Strawberries
Place them in a bowl and mash with a fork or potato masher.
In a bowl, whisk yogurt and maple syrup until well combined.
400 gms Plain Yogurt, 2 Teaspoons Maple Syrup
Half-fill all the cavities of the popsicle mould with yogurt mixture.
Now, fill the remaining half with mashed strawberries.
Swirl the pureed strawberry with a wooden skewer to make a pattern. (optional).
Insert the popsicle sticks into the moulds.
Place the filled popsicle moulds in the freezer for 4-6 hours or until solid.
To remove popsicles from mould, dip each popsicle in a bowl of warm water for a few seconds to loosen and then pull the popsicle carefully out of the mould.

Notes

Texture: We simply used a potato masher to mash the strawberries as we prefer some chunks of strawberries. For a smooth texture, process the strawberries in a blender until they are smooth.

Freezing: Place the popsicles in the freezer for a minimum of 4–6 hours or overnight to make sure they are completely frozen.

Sweetness: If you use seasonal, fresh, juicy strawberries, there's no need to add any sweetener. However, if the strawberries are less sweet and more tart, stir in some maple syrup into mashed strawberries.
