Strawberry Matcha Latte Pops (Printable Version)

Creamy popsicles with sweet strawberries, smooth matcha, and a hint of vanilla for a cool summer treat.

# What You'll Need:

→ Strawberry Layer

01 - 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar or honey
03 - 1 teaspoon lemon juice

→ Matcha Latte Layer

04 - 1 cup whole milk or plant-based alternative
05 - 1/2 cup heavy cream or coconut cream
06 - 1 tablespoon matcha green tea powder
07 - 2 tablespoons maple syrup or agave syrup
08 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

# Directions:

01 - Combine strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a blender. Blend until smooth.
02 - Pour strawberry puree evenly into popsicle molds, filling each approximately halfway. Place molds in freezer for 30 minutes to partially set.
03 - Whisk matcha powder with 2 tablespoons of warm milk until no lumps remain.
04 - In a mixing bowl, combine remaining milk, heavy cream, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and dissolved matcha. Mix thoroughly.
05 - Remove molds from freezer. Gently pour matcha latte mixture over strawberry layer to fill molds completely. Insert popsicle sticks.
06 - Freeze for at least 4 hours or until completely solid.
07 - Run molds under warm water for several seconds before unmolding to release popsicles.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • They taste like a fancy cafe drink but cost a fraction of the price, and you control exactly how sweet they are.
  • The strawberry and matcha pairing is unexpected enough to feel special, yet familiar enough that everyone actually wants to eat them.
  • Four hours of freezing means you can make these in the morning and have a perfect summer dessert ready by dinner time.
02 -
  • If you pour the matcha layer too quickly or while the strawberry layer is still soft, they'll blend into a muddy purple instead of creating distinct layers, so patience during that 30-minute freeze is essential.
  • Lumpy matcha powder ruins the texture, so whisking it with warm milk first is the one non-negotiable step that actually matters.
03 -
  • Warm your popsicle molds slightly before filling them with the strawberry puree—this helps the mixture spread evenly without dripping.
  • If you want a swirled effect instead of clean layers, use a popsicle stick or skewer to gently drag through the layers after pouring the matcha mixture, creating a marbled pattern that looks intentional and stunning.
