Based on Weston A Price Principles

• Has no refined or denatured foods.
• Includes animal foods. (fermented cod liver oil, egg yolks, cream)
• Emphasizes nutrient dense foods. (fermented cod liver oil, raw egg yolk, raw cream, raw honey)
• Includes raw animal foods. (fresh in season strawberries, raw egg yolk, raw cream, raw honey)
• Has saturated fats; avoids industrial seed oils.
• Contains animal foods from land and sea. (fermented cod liver oil, raw egg yolk, raw cream)
• Uses unrefined salt. (celtic sea salt)

Ingredients (Makes about 6 small popsicles depending on the size of your popsicle molds.)

• 1 cup ripe in season organic strawberries, hulled
• 3/4 cup raw, grass-fed cream
• 2 pasture-raised egg yolks
• 3 tablespoons raw honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Green Pasture Fermented Cod Liver Oil: add 1/2 teaspoon per popsicle (adjust based on the number of molds)
• 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
• Pinch of celtic sea salt

Instructions

1. Blend the strawberries
   • Using a blender or food processor, blend until smooth.  (Or leave strawberries chunky for a different texture!)
2. Prepare the custard base
   • In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks and honey together until slightly thickened.
3. Add cream and flavorings
   • Whisk in the raw cream, vanilla extract, sea salt, and lemon juice.
4. Combine
   • Pour the cream mixture over the strawberry puree and blend until fully incorporated.
5. Add the Fermented Cod Liver Oil
   • Add in the oil at the end and blend well, allowing it to emulsify evenly throughout the mixture. This step is key for a smooth, consistent flavor.
6. Taste and adjust
   • Add a touch more honey for sweetness or lemon juice for extra brightness, depending on your family's preference.
7. Freeze
   • Pour mixture into popsicle molds, insert sticks, and freeze for 4–6 hours, or until fully frozen.

Tips:

For creamier popsicles: Add more raw cream and egg yolk.

For easier unmolding: Let popsicles sit at room temperature for 1–2 minutes before serving, or run the molds under warm water for a few seconds. 

What to do with leftovers: If you have extra mixture after filling your molds, enjoy it as a smoothie! 

Variations

Mixed Berry Version: Blend strawberries with blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries for a deeper berry flavor. 

Orange Cream Version: Skip the lemon juice and replace the strawberries with ¾ cup fresh orange juice for a creamsicle-style twist. Add 1 teaspoon of orange zest for a more vibrant orange flavor.
