Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
Damit deine Popsicles perfekt gelingen, solltest du die Erdbeeren vor dem Mixen vollständig enthülsen und in gleichmäßige Scheiben schneiden. Verwende am besten frisch gepressten Orangensaft, da dieser eine deutlich intensivere Fruchtaromatik mitbringt. Wenn du den Schaumwein unterhebst, rühre ihn behutsam ein, um die Kohlensäure so weit wie möglich zu erhalten — das gibt den gefrorenen Popsicles eine feine Textur. Lasse beim Befüllen der Formen oben etwas Platz, damit sich die Masse beim Gefrieren ausdehnen kann, ohne die Form zu sprengen.
Varianten und Anpassungen
Für eine alkoholfreie oder kinderfreundliche Version kannst du den Schaumwein ganz einfach durch prickelnden Traubensaft ersetzen — das Ergebnis ist genauso festlich und fruchtig. Wer es etwas frischer mag, gibt vor dem Abfüllen einen Spritzer Zitronensaft in die Mischung, der die natürliche Süße der Erdbeeren wunderbar betont. Als Garnierung eignen sich neben Erdbeerscheiben auch essbare Blüten wie Veilchen oder Gänseblümchen, die den Popsicles ein elegantes, blumiges Aussehen verleihen.
Serviervorschläge
Diese Strawberry Mimosa Popsicles kommen am besten zur Geltung, wenn sie direkt nach dem Herauslösen aus den Formen serviert werden.
