Strawberry Creamsicle

Begin by making a quick strawberry compote: melt butter in a saucepan, add strawberries, brown sugar, honey, and salt, and simmer until soft and fragrant. Then stir in a cornstarch slurry to thicken. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before swirling in the concentrated Strawberry Creamsicle Extract to infuse a rich, nostalgic taste. Layer the compote with Greek yogurt and milk, pour into popsicle molds, and freeze until firm—resulting in dreamy, creamy strawberry pops with a refreshing vanilla twist.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ½ cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup diced fresh strawberries
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp cornstarch + 1 Tbsp water (slurry)
  • 10–12 drops Strawberry Creamsicle Flavor Extract (oil‑soluble)

Directions

  1. Caramelize strawberries: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tbsp butter and add 1 cup diced strawberries. Sauté for 2 minutes until aromatic.

  2. Sweeten and thicken: Stir in ¼ cup light brown sugar, ¼ cup honey, and ½ tsp salt. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 12–15 minutes.

  3. Add cornstarch slurry: Mix 1 tsp cornstarch with 1 Tbsp water until smooth. Stir into the strawberry mixture and cook until thickened. Remove from heat.

  4. Infuse creamsicle flavor: Once slightly cooled, add 10–12 drops of oil‑soluble Strawberry Creamsicle Extract to the strawberry compote. Stir gently to blend evenly and enhance the creamy vanilla‑strawberry taste.

  5. Layer base: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup Greek yogurt and 1 cup whole milk until smooth.

  6. Pour into molds: Spoon a layer of the flavored strawberry compote into popsicle molds, then fill with the yogurt‑milk mixture. Alternate layers if desired for a swirl effect.

  7. Freeze: Insert sticks and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until fully solid.

  8. Serve: Run molds briefly under warm water to release creamy strawberry‑vanilla popsicles.
