Sugar free popsicles are a great summer time low carb dessert to go to. These are strawberry flavored with a low carb count, making them keto friendly as well. A hint of cream and strawberry in a frozen treat is just what the doctor ordered.
I use to eat those fruit popsicles out of the freezer aisle all the time. Thinking they were completely healthy for me. I mean it’s fruit right? And fruit isn’t bad?
By no means am I saying fruits bad. As far as sugar content goes, fruit have a nice range of high to low. Strawberry’s are a favorite and luckily are relatively low in carbs. Which made the flavor perfect for my sugar free popsicles.
Fudge is great, chocolate is never a bad option. But, fruit flavored is always the way to go with popsicles in my opinion. The light, fresh taste of strawberry’s. Along with the sweet scent of the berries coming from a frozen treat in front of you. What more could you ask for?

So, the secret that made these spectacular was the whipped cream. Not the heavy cream, but the cool whip type cream. What it did was produce a strawberries dipped in cream within a frozen treat. It’s not just a plain strawberry flavor. Not that, that would be bad. It just wouldn’t be as amazing as these.
Personally, I’m not bias against using cool whip. It isn’t the best, but for convenience, I get it!
The copycat I created I just freeze for occasions such as these. Sweetener wise you wanna go a little overboard. Not much! Just a little sweeter than you like. Simply because things that are cold the sweetness is dumbed down naturally.
Have you ever noticed how super sweet melted ice cream taste versus it being frozen?
Popsicle molds and me have some serious issues. I have tried two. Anyone have a failsafe mold or tip? Let a brother know in the comments!
Conclusion
These sugar free popsicles with the taste of strawberries and whipped cream are a go to treat. Having low carb desserts in the summer seemed impossible. Fruity desserts are a must for quite a few people, and now you can have yours as well.
