Combine the flavors of a strawberry margarita in creamy dreamy popsicle is sure to be a hit at your summer gatherings.
Years ago one of my neighbors brought the most amazing creamy margarita pops to a pool party. They were so refreshing on the 100+ degree day. It has been on my list to make them since that day.
Well this year's margarita round up was finally the impetus for me to make them. And why go with plain old margaritas when you can add some beautifully ripe fresh strawberries to them?
Ingredients for Creamy Strawberry Margarita Popsicles
The secret ingredient in these popsicles is the sweetened condensed milk. Instead of being a solid block of ice like most ice pops, the milk gives it a soft creamy texture. Not quite ice cream, but definitely a wonderful blend of the two.
The tequila and triple sec not only adds flavor but since is does not freeze it helps keep the pops from freezing into a block of ice as well. You can omit them both for an alcohol free version.
Instead of strawberries you could use water instead, or mix in other fruit juice such as watermelon, mango, other berries, etc. Make a few of each and have a margarita pop taste off.
DIY Popsicle Molds
If you have popsicle molds, you can use them and chop up the strawberries and lime slices and mix in the liquid instead of placing them on top.
Otherwise, you can use 3 ounce bathroom cups and popsicle sticks or straws as described in the directions. The lime and strawberry circles on top will help hold the stick/straw upright.
