Strawberry Matcha Latte Popsicles (Printable)

Layers of sweet strawberry puree and creamy vanilla matcha milk create these refreshing frozen treats perfect for hot summer days.

# What You 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. Blend until completely smooth, approximately 30-45 seconds.
02 - Pour the strawberry puree evenly into popsicle molds, filling each mold approximately halfway. Place molds in freezer for 30-45 minutes until just set but not completely frozen.
03 - Whisk matcha powder with hot water in a small bowl until smooth and completely dissolved, 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 the matcha latte mixture over the partially frozen strawberry layer in each mold, filling to the top. Take care not to disturb the strawberry layer.
06 - Insert popsicle sticks into each mold. Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until completely solid throughout.
07 - To release popsicles, run molds briefly under warm water for 10-15 seconds. Gently pull popsicles from molds and serve immediately.
