The temperatures are kinda crazy here in Ohio. One day it’s in the low 50’s, then the following day it’s in the 80’s. The heat has me realizing two very important things; One: I need a pedicure something fierce and Two: it’s time to stock with the freezer with homemade ice cold treats. What better way to chill out than with a Strawberry-Ricotta Popsicle?
I completely forgot to put my Zoku in the freezer after the last time I used it, so I decided to make these popsicles the old school way – in a Dixie cup. It really couldn’t be simpler, just pour your popsicle mix into the cups, cover the top of the cup with a small square of foil, insert your stick and freeze.
I’ll admit it, I was a little leery about adding ricotta cheese to a popsicle; however the results were quite splendid. The blend of ripe, sweet berries mixed with tangy ricotta cheese creates a smooth and creamy popsicle that simply begs to be devoured on a hot Summer day. I can’t wait to play around with more ricotta infused popsicle recipes – I envision a lemon cream popsicle in my very near future!
What’s you favorite cool summer treat?

Hi, Eden! I’ve found kids and adults love them! Take care!
Every time I see this post, I have to make them because it’s about the time my daughter Stacy visits from Atlanta with her family. They go nuts for these.
Nancy-
I’m so glad your family is enjoying the popsicles. Thanks for visiting.

These pops are delicious! I made them last year and I could not stop eating them. They are a huge hit at our house because of the simple, fresh ingredients and the low sugar content. Now that strawberries are in season this year, I was SO happy to find this recipe again. This time, I am bookmarking it!! Thanks for the wonderful recipes :)
