The Hood Strawberries are finally in season and I’m stocking up. I’ll more than likely end up buying 10 flats and freezing them to eat throughout the summer. Well, I hope they last that long. If you’re lucky enough to have tried a Hood strawberry you know they are crazy sweet. I liken them to Mother’s Nature’s candy bar.
They also make the perfect sweet treat and now that it’s starting to heat up, I wanted something cold to help me stay cool. I also wanted to make something simple that didn’t require an ice cream machine (which I still have not bought) so it was Popsicle time.
Strawberry Cream Popsicles
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups of coconut shreds
- 3 cups of boiling water
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon power
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon of cardamon
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 3 cups of strawberries
Instructions
- In your blender or food processor add your coconut shreds, vanilla, cinnamon, cardamon, sea salt and boiling water.
- Blend for 3 minutes.
- Strain your milk through a nut milk bag.
- Rinse out your blender and the coconut milk you just created and the 3 cups of strawberries.
- Blend for 1 minute and pour into your popsicle tray. Freeze for 3 hours and then enjoy!

I love that you make them from scratch, that is so awesome!
How much vanilla do you use? About a teaspoon? Its not on the ingredient list. Also, what is a nut seed bag? Can I just use a fine sieve?
Whoops! 1/2 tsp of vanilla. A fine sieve may not get out all the coconut. I actually use a gallon paint strainer bag that you can get from Home Depot to strain out my coconut. It’s $2 for 2 bags and I just wash then really well and rinse them with vinegar before the first use.
that sounds good Kelly. I need to use some to make jam.
What a perfect summer treat, and strawberries are so affordable right now.
I’m too lazy., I would just buy them!
I haven’t had a good sweet strawberry since leaving Michigan. Can I come over? For some strawberries and at least one popsicle?
You always impress me, Kelly! And I just may give these a try! I know my hubby and son would love them.
Yum, those look so refreshing.
I’m pretty sure I would love these, and so would my daughter.
These looks like an amazing summer treat to stay cool. I’m sure we would love them as we love anything with Strawberries.
Those look so refreshing and perfect for summer!
My kids love popsicles and I love fresh, clean food so these are a win win!
Those look good. Cardamon was a surprise ingredient.
It was 95 degrees here today. You have know idea how good those look right now! I’m taking the kids to the farmer’s market for fresh strawberries tomorrow.
My kids would eat these up!
Can you come live with me? LOL you always have amazing recipes.
Sounds delightful! Beautiful pictures too!
YUM! That’s a perfect summer treat.
Those look great and a perfect treat to give the kids while they are in the hot sun this summer.
So much easier than I would have thought!
I wish you had posted this when I was getting more strawberries from my garden than I knew what to do with! 🙂 These look awesome!
They are so good but I can only have the tiniest bit as they are so sweet, lol.
YUM, these look great! I’ve never heard of Hood Strawberries though. Where do you get them?
A lot of farmers grow this variety here but I know they are a very delicate berry so they can be hard to find. You could always visit Portland in June 🙂
I think I need to make some strawberry cream popsicles!
Looks really good! 🙂
These pops look super refreshing..perfect for summer.
Those strawberries look perfect! I can’t wait to try this 🙂
omg these look amazing and so tasty
OMG!! These look really tasty! I must give them a try!
I need to make these like RIGHT NOW.
I’ve never tried Hood strawberries but they sound ghetto (strawberries from ‘the hood’). Hehe, just kidding. We have some kind of strawberries in our fridge now – I’ll have to try this!
Strawberries are my girls’ favorite fruit. I’ll have to give this a try sometime soon. I know they’d love it!
In my house, my daughter gobbles up the strawberries as fast as I can get them in the door. I’d have to make these before she got home from school…lol
I need to pick up some popsicle molds, these look really good. I like the idea of making your own popsicles too.
I love the shape of popsicles you make. They are adorable.
Strawberry is my favorite flavor!
