Note

Use fresh strawberries if frozen are not available, but you may need to adjust the sugar amount depending on their sweetness.

For a richer flavor, substitute half-and-half or whole milk for the skim milk.

Ensure the gelatine is fully dissolved to avoid grainy texture in the final pops.

Store any leftover pops in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
