Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups heavy cream or coconut milk
- 1 jar (12-16 ounces) strawberry jam
Mango Mixture
- 2 cups fresh or frozen mango chunks
- 1/4 cup water or 1/3 cup mango juice
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberry Mixture: In a blender, combine 1 1/2 cups of the heavy cream or coconut milk with the jar of strawberry jam. Blend until well incorporated and smooth. Pour this strawberry mixture evenly into 8 popsicle molds or disposable paper Dixie cups.
- Prepare Mango Mixture: Rinse out the blender, then add the mango chunks along with 1/4 cup water or mango juice. Blend until smooth, then add the remaining 3/4 cup of cream or coconut milk and blend again until creamy and well combined.
- Assemble Popsicles: Pour the creamy mango blend over the strawberry mixture in each mold, filling them to the top. Using a butter knife or skewer, gently swirl the strawberry layer into the mango mixture to create a marbled effect. Optionally, add a few thin slices of fresh strawberries or raspberries on top for extra visual appeal and flavor.
- Freeze: Place the filled molds in the freezer and allow them to freeze until firm, about 4 hours or overnight for best results. Keep the popsicles frozen until ready to serve.
Notes
- You can substitute heavy cream with coconut milk for a dairy-free and vegan version.
- If using frozen mango chunks, no need to thaw before blending.
- To release the popsicles easily, run the outside of the mold briefly under warm water.
- Adding fresh fruit slices enhances both taste and presentation but is optional.
- Use paper Dixie cups as a budget-friendly alternative for molds.
