Nobody will believe that these luscious treats are dairy-free, gluten-free, and sweetened only with dates (though if your berries aren’t quite ripe enough, you can always add a bit of sugar). Layers look nifty, but to save time, you can fill molds with strawberry mixture and swirl in the cashew mixture with a chopstick; freeze until set. If you want straight strawberry, just skip steps 2 and 3 entirely.
Directions
- Pulse strawberries in a food processor until fully puréed; taste and add sweetener if necessary. Divide strawberry mixture among eight 3-ounce pop molds. Freeze for 30 minutes.
- In a food processor, pulse cashews, macadamia nuts, and dates until well ground. Add coconut milk, lemon juice, vanilla, and a pinch of salt; blend until smooth and creamy.
- Pour mixture on top of frozen strawberry layer. Insert sticks. Freeze until set, about 2 hours.
