Strawberry & Cream Popsicles

Stay cool with these dairy-free (and refined sugar-free) popsicles!  They’re easy to make and can be amended to include your favorite fruit(s).  Try layering in some blueberries to add a festive pop to your Fourth of July celebration!

If you’re able, make your own cashew milk (blend 1 cup cashews and 3 cups water on high for 2 minutes—works best with a powerful blender).  It will make the popsicles extra creamy and flavorful! I love the addition of the crispy freeze-dried strawberries on the top (bottom of the popsicle once you flip it over!) because they get nice and chewy after freezing. If you can’t find good fresh strawberries, substitute all the strawberry in this recipe for freeze-dried!
