Strawberry Matcha Latte Popsicles (Print View)

Creamy layered popsicles combining fresh strawberries with earthy matcha latte flavors and vanilla sweetness for refreshing summer treats.

# 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, scraping down sides as needed.
02 - Pour the blended strawberry mixture 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 until fully incorporated and uniform in color.
05 - Gently pour the matcha latte mixture over the partially set strawberry layer in each mold, filling to the top. Insert popsicle sticks, ensuring they stand upright.
06 - Freeze popsicles for at least 6 hours or overnight until completely solid. To serve, run molds briefly under warm water for 10-15 seconds to release popsicles easily.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The strawberry layer tastes like biting into sun warmed fruit while the matcha brings this calm, grounding finish that keeps you from getting overwhelmed by sweetness
  • These freeze beautifully for weeks, so you can double the batch and always have something better than ice cream waiting in the freezer
02 -
  • The first time I made these I poured the matcha layer too soon and it swirled with the strawberries, which actually tasted great but did not look quite as pretty in photos
  • If your popsicles stick, run the mold under warm water a bit longer rather than forcing them, or you will break the stick right off in the frozen pop
03 -
  • Set your popsicle molds on a small baking sheet before filling them, which makes transferring them to the freezer without spilling so much easier
  • Always make extra strawberry mixture and freeze it in ice cube trays, then blend those cubes into smoothies or add them to sparkling water for instant strawberry soda
