What frosting is recommended?
Nicole says
I can’t wait to try this! Strawberries are my favorite!
Amanda says
I made this recipe according to the directions, however, the next day they were all sliding down the stick and very very mushy inside. Any suggestions on how to solve this issue?
Liz says
Yeah sorry, I need to fix the instructions. I think they turn out better with no more than 3 hours in the fridge to thaw.
Shenessa says
Use less frosting and they won’t slide down the stick. You want the dough the consistency of play dough.
Julie says
Do these need to be refrigerated or can they be left out like a normal cake pop? How long can I keep them?
Liz says
Refrigerate, and they are best eaten right away because of the fresh strawberries. I’d eat within 2-3 days at most, otherwise they might get mushy and soggy.
Andrea Wiley says
So after they are finished, should they be refrigerated or frozen until eaten? The post said refrigerate to thaw, but then what?
Liz says
Store them in the freezer.
Sue says
I am so disappointed in this recipe I cut back on the frosting and made this for a baby shower tomorrow and the sticks won’t even stand up when I try to freeze them. To be able to decorate them tomorrow. I’m not a Pinterest regular user and this has shown me that you can’t trust who posts recipes.
Liz says
I’m sorry you had this experience, but my photo’s aren’t faked! lol You need to make sure the mixture is refrigerated and FIRM before rolling into balls and inserting the sticks. If you don’t make sure the mixture is FIRM before rolling into balls the sticks will not stand up.
tawni says
I have followed instructions for this and they have been in the refrigeraTor for the past 2 hours and still are not firm enough to roll into balls
Amirah says
Hello what will happen if you freeze the .net overnight
Mary says
Can frozen strawberries be used?
Shannon says
Tried this recipe and used fewer strawberries and less frosting than the recipe calls for. It never would firm up enough to even roll the mixture into balls. Disappointed.
Rachel says
Fresh fruit has moister and will sweat
Period. I would cook them down some or just used freeze dried for better results. Also go easy on icing a little at a time until just together. Im going to try the freeze dried and maybe a little strawberry puree or preserves for a babyshower. Will post the results on my instagram @aspiringchefbaby. i can post on here if you wish!
