No need to wait for the ice cream truck. These colorful homemade pops capture the warm-weather synergy of ripe strawberries and creamy vanilla. Ingredients:
1 pound strawberries, hulled and halved |
1/2 cup sugar |
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice |
2 pints premium vanilla ice cream |
Directions:
1. Mash strawberries in a large bowl with a potato masher or a fork. Transfer to a 12-inch nonstick skillet along with sugar and lemon juice and boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, then freeze, uncovered, until cold, about 10 minutes.
2. Transfer ice cream to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave at 30 percent power in 10-second intervals, stirring, until softened, about 50 seconds total. Spread evenly in a 13-by 9-inch baking dish and freeze while strawberry mixture chills.
3. Dollop tablespoons of strawberry mixture all over ice cream, then swirl it gently through ice cream with a spoon. Spoon into molds (or into cups) and add sticks. Freeze until firm, about 1 1/4 hours (and up to 4 days, covered).
4. Cooks note: If you don't want to make pops, freeze strawberry-topped ice cream until firm, then scoop into bowls.
