Strawberries and cream popsicles

We LOVE popsicles!!!   Popsicles hit the spot on those super hot days to cool you down for a bit.  But I do often think how easy they would be to make at home.  I buy the expensive brands and the store bought brands, but there is nothing like a homemade popsicle.  And so easy!!!

Saturday I remembered I had lots of strawberries in the fridge that needed to be eaten A SAP!
They have been on sale lately and I have been buying them like crazy!!!  I knew there had to be something I could make using all those strawberries.



I've got it!      POPSICLES!!!!!

In a blender combined the following:
2 cups strawberries(topped)
1 cup milk
sugar to taste(I say LOTS)

Pour into popsicle molds and put in freezer.  After about an hour in the freezer insert wooden popsicle sticks and continue to freeze for another hour or so.


I bought this little set at Family Dollar for a buck!  I don't like the colored tops.  From my experience they are not long enough to pull the popsicle out thus resulting in a broken popsicles....half out and half still in the mold.  I bought a BIG bag of the popsicles sticks/craft sticks at Walmart.   They work so much better.

And here is the strawberries and cream popsicle......................

YUM!!!

Do you have a homemade popsicle you and your family love? Please share!
