Ingredients

Makes about 6 popsicles, depending on the size of your molds.
16 oz Strawberries, organic,if possible, sliced in half 1 pound container
1/4 cup Sugar
1 tbsp Lemon Juice, freshly squeezed
1/2 tsp. Pure Vanilla Extract
13.5 oz Coconut Milk
2 tablespoons Honey
1/8 tsp Salt
5 oz White Chocolate, melted
Assorted toppings such as sprinkles, freeze dried strawberries or chopped nuts

Instructions

Add the strawberries to a medium sauce pan with the sugar and lemon juice.
Place the pan on medium heat, stirring occasionally until the mixture bubbles and comes together into a sauce. It will look syrupy, but still have small chunks of strawberry, about 15 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla.
Place the mixture in a medium bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
After chilling, set aside about 1 tablespoon of sauce for each pop.
Assemble the Popsicles
In blender, add the coconut milk, honey and remaining strawberry sauce and mix on high until smooth.
Taste with a spoon for sweetness, and adjust to your liking.
You should have approximately 3 cups of strawberry liquid, not counting strawberry sauce that was set aside.
Using a Popsicle mold, fill with the strawberry/coconut mixture about 1/3 full.
Freeze for 30-40 minutes until set.
Remove from freezer and spoon a tablespoon of the reserved strawberry sauce into each mold.
Return pops to freezer for about 30 minutes until set.
Divide remaining strawberry/coconut mixture into each mold and place the lids on the pops.
Freeze until completely set, or preferably, overnight.
Melt the white chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave until melted and smooth. Set aside until ready to dip the frozen pops.
Remove pops from molds
Tip: Remove the pops from the freezer and let them sit for 5 minutes, then run each mold under warm water for a couple of seconds for easier removal.
Place the pops on a baking sheet lined with wax paper.
Dip the corner of each pop in the white chocolate and sprinkle with freeze dried strawberries, sprinkles or nuts, if desired.
Return the pops to the freezer on the tray until chocolate is set, about 30 minutes and serve.
