Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 2/3 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1/3 cup + 2 teaspoons swerve confectioners 
  • 2 teaspoons  pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup fresh organic strawberries (hulled and chopped)

Instruction

  • Add the heavy cream, mascarpone cheese, swerve (reserving 2 teaspoons) and vanilla to the bowl of a food processor and pulse a few times, but DO NOT over mix!  If you do, the mixture will become too thick and will be difficult to pour into the molds evenly.  If that happens, just add a little more heavy cream and pulse briefly, then adjust your macros accordingly.
  • Remove a little 1 cup, add to a ziplock baggie and set aside, this will be the (middle) vanilla layer.  Remove another 1 cup and add to a cup to set aside, this will become the (bottom) chocolate layer.
  • Add the strawberries to the food processor and pulse until well combined.  This will make up the first (top) strawberry layer.  Add the mixture to a baggie, cut the tip off and squeeze into the popsicle molds about 1/3 of the way up.  Place in the freezer for 10-15 minutes or until somewhat set.
  • Cut the tip off the baggie with the vanilla layer, and squeeze into the molds, about 2/3 of the way up.  Place back into the freezer for another 10-15 minutes.
  • Add the reserved cup of plain mixture back into the food processor, add the cocoa powder and the reserved 2 teaspoons swerve and pulse until combined.  Add the mixture to a baggie, cut the tip off and squeeze into the popsicle molds to fill about 1/2 inch from the top.  
  • Add the tops on and freeze for 3 hours or until completely set and enjoy!  Depending on your molds, you should get anywhere from 8-10 popsicles.  I love the fun shape of these star molds!  If you like them,  you can order them on Amazon (link in recipe).
