Strawberry Matcha Latte Popsicles (Printable)

Creamy layered popsicles combining fresh sweet strawberries with smooth matcha latte. Refreshing summer treat with vanilla hints.

# What You'll 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

# Directions:

01 - Combine strawberries, honey or maple syrup, and lemon juice in a blender. Process until completely smooth, scraping down sides as needed.
02 - Distribute strawberry puree evenly among popsicle molds, filling each approximately halfway. Place 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 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 - Carefully pour matcha latte mixture over the set strawberry layer in each mold, filling to the top. Avoid disturbing the bottom layer.
06 - Insert popsicle sticks into each mold. Freeze for at least 6 hours or until completely solid throughout.
07 - To release popsicles, run molds briefly under warm water for 10–15 seconds. Gently pull sticks to remove from molds.

# Cooking Tips:

01 -
  • The strawberry layer brings bright fruity sweetness while the matcha adds this sophisticated, slightly grassy note that keeps things interesting
  • These freeze into the creamiest texture, almost like ice cream on a stick, and they look absolutely stunning with that two-tone gradient
02 -
  • If you pour the matcha layer before the strawberry layer is partially frozen, the layers will swirl together and you will lose that beautiful gradient effect
  • Room temperature matcha mixture can slightly melt the strawberry layer, so keep it chilled in the refrigerator until the strawberry layer is ready
03 -
  • Run your molds under warm water for exactly 15 seconds, any longer and the popsicle starts to melt and lose its shape
  • Always insert the sticks when the second layer is freshly poured, before it starts to freeze, so they stand up straight
