The temperatures are kinda crazy here in Ohio. One day itโs in the low 50โs, then the following day itโs in the 80โs. The heat has me realizing two very important things; One: I need a pedicure something fierce and Two: itโs 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 โ in a Dixie cup. It really couldnโt 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.
Iโll 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 canโt wait to play around with more ricotta infused popsicle recipes โ I envision a lemon cream popsicle in my very near future!
Whatโs you favorite cool summer treat?
Strawberry-Ricotta Popsicles

1 pint (12 oz.) fresh strawberries, hulled
