Skyr and strawberry popsicles

In my summer mood, I have a recipe for popsicles for you today, namely a skyr ice cream with fresh strawberries.

In addition to apple juice, some lemon juice is also added to the ice cream mixture.

To emphasize the fresh lemon aroma a little more, I added a few lemon verbena leaves. Of course the plant is not in any way typically Icelandic, I simply met it at the nursery that day and spontaneously fell in love with the smell. It actually hardly smells at all, but if you rub a leaf a little... it really packs a punch! I love the smell! So a little bit of it was allowed into the ice cream. But of course it works without it!

Ingredients

400 ml vanilla skyr

2 Tbsp lemon juice

120 ml apple juice

250 g fresh strawberries

Ice cream molds and wooden sticks

Preparation

Wash and clean the strawberries and cut them into pieces.

Process half of the strawberries with the vanilla Skyr, lemon juice and apple juice using a hand blender to form a uniform mass.

Add the remaining strawberry pieces and stir in carefully by hand.

Then pour the ice cream mixture into the molds and let it freeze in the freezer overnight.

Carefully remove the ice cream from the mold, let a little water run over the outside of the mold if necessary, and then enjoy it slightly thawed.
