Strawberries and Cream Popsicles

It's hot and I want ice cream. Sometimes in a dish, sometimes in a waffle cone and sometimes in the form of an easy to grab popsicle. I don't discriminate when it comes to ice cream.

These easy cones are fun, though, and great to make for a crowd. Serve them on a tray of ice to buy a little extra time before they melt and let everyone grab and go.

You can use a regular shaped paper cup, if you prefer, but I think the cones are so appealing. I just stand them up inside glasses while they freeze and then use a pair of scissors to cut away the paper before serving. They actually come out quite easily.

I used one part milk, one part cream and one part thick Greek yogurt for the base because I like the extra bit of tang. But you can sub out the yogurt with either another cup of milk or cream depending on how rich you want the ice cream. Enjoy!
