Strawberries N' Cream Popsicles

It's strawberry season! Here is a simple and tasty way to freeze all of those strawberries you have picked and beat the heat.

INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup of Vanilla Oreos, crushed (yes, oreos are vegan!)
1 cup strawberries, pureed
1/8 - 1/4 cup sugar, or to taste
2 cups of vanilla soy yogurt

METHOD:
1. Crush your vanilla Oreos. I like my Oreo consistency very fine, so I used a food processor. If you are not too picky, you can crush the cookies by using a ziplock bag and mash them with a rolling pin.

2. Combine the Oreos and vanilla yogurt in a small bowl.

3. Puree the strawberries and sugar together in a food processor. Start with a small amount of sugar and add more depending on how sweet the strawberries are already.

4. Take your popsicle mold and start with the cookie/yogurt mixture first at the bottom, then add the strawberry puree, then a final layer of the cookie/yogurt mixture. Use a knife or a skewer or swirl the three layers together.

5. Freeze overnight and enjoy the next day.

NOTE:
Let the popsicles sit for a bit to melt slightly or run them under hot water to easily remove them from their mold.

You can find popsicle molds easily in your nearest grocery store. I found my mold at Wegman's for $2.99. Here is a link to amazon for one of their popular molds.

Alternatively, you can use dixie cups and popsicle sticks. The trick is to wait 30 minutes before adding the sticks to the cups. Place tin foil or plastic wrap over the cup to prevent freezer burn.

If you really want to be green, reuse those 6 oz. yogurt containers you pack in your lunch box!
