Ingredients (10 servings)
- 125 ml (½ cup) graham cracker crumbs
- 30 ml (2 tbsp) unsalted butter, melted
- 500 ml (2 cups) diced fresh strawberries
- 15 ml (1 tbsp) granulated sugar
- 250 ml (1 cup) cream cheese, at room temperature
- 160 ml (⅔ cup) vanilla Greek yogurt
- 60g vanilla isolate
- 5 ml (1 tsp) lemon zest
- 1.25 ml (¼ tsp) vanilla extract
Preparation
- Mix the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter in a bowl until you get a sandy texture.
- Heat the strawberries and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat for 5 minutes, until slightly thickened. Purée until smooth using an immersion blender. Let cool in the refrigerator.
- In a narrow container, using an immersion blender, blend the tempered cream cheese with the Greek yogurt, vanilla protein isolate, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In a bowl, mix the strawberry coulis with half of the cream cheese base.
- Pour a small amount of the strawberry mixture into the bottom of the popsicle molds. Add a layer of the plain cheese mixture. Repeat alternating between the two mixtures until the molds are full, leaving 1 cm of space at the top of each mold.
- Spread about 1 tbsp (15 ml) of the graham cracker crumb mixture into the empty space of each pan. Press lightly to compact.
- Insert the sticks and freeze for 6 hours or until the popsicles are completely frozen.
