This easy recipe for homemade strawberry banana popsicles is a creamy frozen treat! I love ice pops as a perfect summer frozen dessert. This healthy recipe has real fruit and is simple to make.
This is a great way to use strawberries and ripe bananas. I know when it's hot I don't want to turn my oven on for banana bread, so instead I make these delicious popsicles.
My favorite popsicle mold is the Norpro Frozen Ice Pop Maker. I like it's sturdy construction and that I can use wooden popsicle sticks with it. After the popsicles are frozen the lid comes off easily. I dip the mold into hold water and the ice pops come out easily.
How do I make homemade strawberry banana popsicles?
They are so easy to make! In a saucepan I cook the strawberries, bananas, milk and sugar or honey to thicken the mixture. While this is cooling I make the whipped cream I will fold into the mixture.
After the heavy cream has formed stiff peaks. I reserve one cup of the fruit mixture and then puree the rest in my blender. Then I fold the whipped cream and fruit mixture/puree together.
I pour the combined ingredients into the popsicle mold, place the lid on and put wooden popsicle sticks in. I let the popsicles freeze for at least two hours, but I prefer to leave them overnight.
If the popsicles don't come out of the mold easily you can submerge the mold into hot water in a bowl or your sink. Be careful not to let the water come over the edge of the mold.
How long will homemade popsicles last in the freezer?
I don't like to leave my homemade strawberry banana popsicles in the freezer for longer than one week. This prevents them from getting freezer burnt. Honestly, they get consumed so fast they don't normally last the entire week during the summer.

Description
This easy recipe for homemade strawberry banana popsicles is a creamy frozen treat! I love ice pops as a perfect summer frozen dessert. This healthy recipe has real fruit and is simple to make.
Ingredients
3 cups Strawberries, hulled and sliced
2 medium ripe Bananas, cut into chunks
2 Tbsp. Milk
2 Tbsp. Sugar or Honey
1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
2 Tbsp. Granulated Sugar
Instructions
In a saucepan on medium heat cook the strawberries, bananas, milk and sugar stirring occasionally until fruit is broken down and the mixture has slightly thickened.
Let the fruit mixture cool.
Using an electric mixer on high speed beat the heavy whipping cream and sugar until stiff peaks form.
Reserve one cup of the fruit mixture. Pour the rest of the fruit mixture into a blender and puree.
Fold the fruit mixture, fruit puree and whipped cream together.
Pour or scoop the mixture into the popsicle molds. Place the lid on your mold and the popsicle sticks into the lid. If you don't have a lid you can use plastic wrap or tin foil to hold the popsicle sticks in place.
Freeze for at least two hours before serving.
If you can't get the popsicles out of the mold you can submerge the bottom of the mold in hot water for a few seconds. Be careful not to get water into your popsicles.

I was going to buy the popsicle molds as I've always wanted some. But I checked the Amazon reviews for this product. Lots of people said that there was a metal shedding problem, and their hands would be gray, like they had worked on a car. I just wanted you to know that, as you probably haven't checked back. You might want to reconsider your recommendation. I love the recipe, though, and I will look further for some molds.

I've never had this issue with these popsicle molds. I actually like them more than the last all plastic molds I had. I don't put them in the dishwasher. Maybe that has something to do with the issue others are having.
