These chocolate covered strawberry popsicles feature a rich chocolate shell coating fresh strawberry popsicles. Only 7 simple ingredients needed!
Strawberry popsicles are getting a major revamp in the direction of ALL the chocolate today! Everyone loves a chocolate-covered strawberry, so why not do the same to your popsicles??
Fair warning: it may ruin all other popsicles for you and you will likely feel inclined to keep these stocked in your freezer at all times.
Honestly, I see no problem with this plan.
No fancy ingredients or methods around today! These popsicles are pretty much as simple as any summertime dessert can get with only a handful of ingredients and most of the time being inactive while you’re waiting on the popsicles to freeze.
These Strawberry Popsicles feature…
- A sweet and tangy fresh strawberry popsicle base
- A chocolate shell coating dusted with freeze-dried strawberries
- Minutes to prep and only 7 ingredients needed
Making the Popsicles
(scroll down to the bottom of the post for the full recipe)
Ingredients You Will Need
- Strawberries
- Honey
- Lemon juice
- Greek yogurt
- Vanilla extract
- Dark or semisweet chocolate
- Coconut oil
Fresh vs. Frozen Strawberries
This recipe works great with both fresh or frozen strawberries. For fresh strawberries, wash berries well, hull, and dice into medium cubes. If you decide to go the frozen route, thaw strawberries and dice prior to blending with other ingredients.
Tips for Perfect Popsicles
- Use blender or food processor – I prefer a blender as this gives plenty of room for the ingredients to puree smooth, but a food processor also works.
- Choose ripe strawberries – ripe strawberries will give these popsicles a super strong strawberry flavor.
- Freeze popsicles at least 4 hours – I typically prefer freezing these popsicles overnight to give them plenty of time to set up.
- Melt chocolate with coconut oil – the coconut oil will help the chocolate set into a firm, yet bite-able texture on the popsicles.
- Dip popsicles in chocolate – dip the frozen popsicles in chocolate and immediately dust in freeze-dried strawberries if using so they’ll stick to the chocolate before it hardens.
Recipe Variations
Try these ideas for a different twist on these popsicles.
- Use another fruit – try raspberries, blackberries, or a mix of several fruits.
- Add a banana – add 1 medium ripe banana to blended fruit mixture.
- Skip the chocolate coating – for regular strawberry popsicles just skip the chocolate dip.
Biting through the rich chocolate coating down into all that fresh strawberry goodness is an experience like no other with these popsicles! Be warned though, having 1 of these usually turns into like 4.

Don’t worry, I’m an awful poet too. The only thing I could think of that rhymes with “care” is “hair”. And hair is definitely not a word you want in a poem about popsicles! Ha!

Isadora @ she likes food says
I love your poetry and your popsicles so much!! I’m an adult who has been living off of popsicles all summer long! They are basically like fruit and icy sweet form and I don’t think I know anyone who doesn’t love them! That is so amazing that you covered these strawberry popsicles with chocolate, I don’t even know what to say except that I want one right now 🙂
Sarah says
Haha glad that you like my terrible poetry, Izzy! And omg could we be any more similar?! I’m pretty sure popsicles have been one of my main food groups since June. 🙂
Mary Frances @ The Sweet {Tooth} Life says
Duh, no shame, because it is fruit! And chocolate, but it is with fruit, so this is totally “eat 5000 in one sitting” material. Don’t tell me otherwise.
And your poem made me laugh out loud, so I consider it a grand success! Just don’t ask me to rhyme with success … 🙂
Sarah says
I love how you think, Mary Frances—your reasoning just makes perfect sense. LOL 😀
