The ice-cream layer of these lollies tastes just like a strawberry milkshake, but without any dairy! They are composed of 4 different elements; strawberry milkshake ice cream, vanilla cream, strawberry jam, and a dark chocolate shell.
Wash the strawberries well, remove the stems, and cut them into quarters. Place the ice cream molds on a tray that fits into your freezer.
Add the strawberries and maple syrup to a high-speed blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Pour the mixture into 10 popsicle molds, cover, and freeze for an hour or until set enough to hold the yogurt ice cream layer.
Yogurt layer
Add the coconut yogurt, coconut milk, maple syrup, and vanilla to a high-speed blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
Transfer the mixture to a piping bag and pipe it into the molds on top of the strawberry layer. Insert a wooden stick into each ice cream (you may need to apply a little pressure to get it down through the partially frozen strawberry layer). Place back into the freezer to set completely for 4 hours.
Serving and storage
To easily remove the popsicles from their molds run them under a hot tap for 10-20 seconds (without allowing water to enter into the popsicle mold itself).
Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Notes
Refrigerate the cans of coconut milk overnight, then only use the thick cream from the top of the cans. This recipe will call for 1-2 400ml cans, depending on the brand you use. I find Nature's Charm and Biona to have the best yield.
If you can't get fresh strawberries, use frozen instead! With frozen strawberries, you'll be better off piping the mixture into the ice cream molds as it will be a little stiffer than if you're using fresh berries.
Switch up the flavors of the ice lollies by using blackberries, raspberries, blackcurrants, or cherries instead. Depending on which fruit you use, you may need to adjust the amount of maple syrup added accordingly.
