Strawberry Matcha Latte Popsicles (Printable Format)

Layers of fresh strawberry puree and creamy matcha latte make these swirled frozen treats perfect for hot summer days.

# 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 Steps:

01 - Combine strawberries, honey or maple syrup, and lemon juice in a blender. Process until completely smooth, about 30 seconds.
02 - Pour the blended strawberry mixture evenly into popsicle molds, filling each mold approximately halfway. Place in the freezer for 30 to 45 minutes until just set but not completely frozen.
03 - Whisk matcha powder with hot water in a small bowl until smooth and no lumps remain, creating a concentrated matcha paste.
04 - In a separate bowl, mix milk, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Add the prepared matcha paste and stir until fully incorporated and uniform in color.
05 - Gently pour the matcha latte mixture over the partially frozen strawberry layer in each mold, filling to the top. Be careful not to disturb the first layer.
06 - Insert popsicle sticks into each mold. Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until completely solid throughout.
07 - To remove, run the outside of each mold briefly under warm water for 10 to 15 seconds. Gently pull the sticks to release the popsicles. Serve immediately.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The strawberry layer hits you with sweet brightness before the creamy matcha brings that calm earthy finish
  • They look stunning layered in the mold, like little edible works of art that impress everyone
02 -
  • The strawberry layer needs to be firm enough before adding the matcha, or you will end up with a muddy pink swirl instead of clean layers
  • Room temperature matcha mixture works better than cold because it pours more smoothly over the frozen strawberry base
03 -
  • Silicone molds are your friend here because the popsicles release so much more easily than rigid plastic ones
  • Make extra matcha mixture and drink it as a latte while you wait for the first layer to freeze
