Not as creamy or sweet as the authentic "guy ringa-ringa-ringing" ones, which I personally prefer. We moved out of a Latino neighborhood last year, and when summer came my 5yo mourned the loss of his strawberry paletas. Not anymore!

1 lb. hulled strawberries
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1. Purée strawberries in a blender. Set a fine strainer over a bowl; strain strawberry purée, discarding solids. Whisk in sugar, heavy cream, and lemon juice until sugar dissolves. Pour strawberry mixture into four 3-oz. ice-pop molds (go to www.centralchef.com for a source).
2. Transfer molds to the freezer and freeze until slushy, about 1 hour. Insert a Popsicle stick into each mold and freeze until pops are solid, about 3 hours more. To release ice pops from molds, run the bottom of the molds briefly under warm water.
