strawberry + lavender prosecco popsicles
lightly tart, sweet, with hints of lavender and prosecco. these popsicles are a simple and refreshing way to enjoy a classic summer favorite that's all grown up.
Equipment
- food processor or blender
- mesh colander
- 10 ct. popsicle mold with sticks
Ingredients
- ½ c lavender sugar (regular sugar works too)
- ½ c water
- 3 c strawberries, sliced with leaves removed (should yield ~ 2 c puree )
- ½ - 1 ½ c prosecco
Instructions
- combine sugar and water in a small sauce pan. heat over medium heat until all the sugar has dissolved and the liquid resembles syrup. this takes 5-10 minutes. cool to room temperature before using to make popsicles..
- place strawberries into a food processor or blender. process 10-15 seconds, to desired consistency.
- strain strawberry puree through a fine mesh colander. if you like seeds, you can skip this step.
- in a large mixing bowl, combine strawberry puree, lavender simple syrup and prosecco. mix ingredients until well incorporated and most of the bubbles from the prosecco have dissipated.
- transfer the mixutre into a pouring containder. pour into popsicle molds. insert sticks/top according to your popsicle mold instructions. freeze minimum 8 hours.
- when youre ready to serve, remove mold from the freezer and run under slightly warm water for a few seconds. gently work the popsicles from the molds and enjoy!
- tip: if the popsicles don't come out as nicely as you'd like, they look beautiful added to a glass of prosecco topped with more fresh berries!
