Strawberry Matcha Latte Popsicles (Print)

Creamy frozen treats blending sweet strawberries with earthy matcha and vanilla for a refreshing summer dessert.

# 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. Process until completely smooth, about 30-45 seconds.
02 - Distribute the strawberry puree evenly among popsicle molds, filling each mold approximately halfway. Place molds in freezer for 30-45 minutes until partially set but not completely frozen.
03 - Whisk matcha powder with hot water in a small bowl until smooth and no lumps remain, about 1 minute.
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 set strawberry layer in each mold, filling to the top. Take care not to disturb the bottom layer.
06 - Insert popsicle sticks into each mold. Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until completely solid.
07 - Run the outside of molds briefly under warm water for 10-15 seconds to loosen. Gently pull popsicles from molds and serve immediately.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • You get that sophisticated matcha flavor balanced with bright strawberry sweetness in every bite

  • They are endlessly customizable based on your dietary preferences
02 -
  • The freezing time for the first layer is crucial because adding the second layer too soon creates muddy marbling instead of clean stripes
  • Letting the matcha mixture sit for a few minutes before pouring gives any air bubbles time to rise to the top
03 -
  • Invest in silicone popsicle molds because they make removal infinitely easier
  • Room temperature ingredients blend better so set your milk out about ten minutes before starting
