Strawberry Matcha Latte Popsicles (Printable)

Creamy strawberry and matcha layered frozen treats on a stick. Sweet, earthy, and refreshing for summer.

# 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

# How To Make It:

01 - Combine strawberries, honey or maple syrup, and lemon juice in a blender. Process until completely smooth and uniform.
02 - Distribute the blended strawberry mixture evenly among popsicle molds, filling each mold approximately halfway. Place molds in freezer for 30-45 minutes until partially set but not fully frozen.
03 - Whisk matcha powder with hot water in a small bowl until completely dissolved and no lumps remain.
04 - Mix milk, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl. Gradually stir in the dissolved matcha paste until fully incorporated and smooth.
05 - Gently pour the matcha latte mixture over the set strawberry layer in each mold, filling to the top. Take care not to disturb the strawberry base.
06 - Insert popsicle sticks into each mold. Freeze for at least 6 hours or until popsicles are completely firm throughout.
07 - To release popsicles, run the exterior of molds briefly under warm water for 5-10 seconds. Gently pull popsicles from molds and serve immediately.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The strawberry tang cuts through matchas earthiness like they were always meant to be together
  • They look stunning with that perfect gradient line between layers, impressing everyone who thinks you spent hours on them
02 -
  • The first layer must be set enough to hold its weight, but if you freeze it completely the layers will separate when you eat them
  • Do not skip dissolving the matcha in hot water first, or you will have gritty spots throughout your popsicles
03 -
  • Run your popsicle mold under warm water for exactly fifteen seconds, no more or less
  • Fill molds to the very top, popsicles shrink slightly as they freeze and you do not want sad little tops
