Needing only two ingredients (and an optional one), these strawberry ice pops consist only of fresh fruit and all-fruit preserves (aka jam). The optional splash of creamy color is provided by plant-based creamer 

Prep Time 12 minutes

Additional Time 6 hours

Total Time 6 hours 12 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 quart ripe, sweet strawberries, preferably organic, hulled
• 1/2 cup strawberry preserves (jam), preferably all-fruit and organic
• 1/2 cup vegan creamer (oat, almond, or coconut), optional

Instructions

1. If any of the strawberries are large, cut in half. Either way, combine them with the preserves in a food processor or blender and process until pureed. You can leave a bit of texture, if you’d like.
2. Use 4 standard size or 6 smaller ice pop molds. If not using the optional creamer, simply distribute the strawberry puree among them. 
3. If using the optional creamer, distribute a scant 1/4 cup of the puree among standard-size molds or 2 tablespoons among smaller molds. Distribute the creamer among each mold, then the remaining strawberry puree. There may be a little puree left over if using the creamer option; no matter, eat it plain! Or make a mini ice pop.
4. Freeze for 5 to 6 hours or overnight. If the molds is stubborn, immerse each in a mug of hot water for a few seconds to loosen the ice pops.
