In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with an electric mixer on medium-high speed for about 3 minutes, or until soft peaks form. Then, divide the whipped cream into 3 separate bowls.
Leave the first bowl of whipped cream plain for the white layer.
Gently fold the vanilla stevia into the second bowl of whipped cream. Once incorporated, add the blue food coloring drop by drop, folding after each addition until you reach a nice, vivid blue throughout.
For the red layer, add the finely chopped strawberries and berry stevia to the third bowl of whipped cream. Fold gently until the berries are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Pour the blue mixture evenly into the bottom of the popsicle molds, filling each mold to approximately one-third capacity. Tap the mold gently on the counter to level the surface, and freeze for 20 minutes.
Spoon the plain whipped cream over the blue layer, filling each pop mold roughly two-thirds full. To keep it from mixing with the blue, pour against the side of the mold rather than directly onto the blue layer. Freeze for another 20 minutes.
Finally, spoon the strawberry cream mixture over the set white layer, filling to just below the rim of the mold, leaving room for expansion. Insert popsicle sticks straight down into the center of each mold and freeze for 4 to 6 hours.

Having a hard time removing the popsicles from the mold? Hold the outside of each mold under running hot water for 20 seconds! Then just wiggle the stick from side to side to loosen the popsicle further.
You can wrap each red white and blue popsicle individually in plastic wrap, then store them in a freezer bag for up to 1 week. You can also just leave them in the molds, covering the tops with plastic wrap to prevent them from absorbing freezer odors. Serve immediately after thawing, as refreezing them might make the 4th of July popsicles icy and grainy.
These red white and blue popsicles will go so well with other refreshing frozen treats like my often-requested summer hit, mango popsicles! You can also prepare a bowl of fresh red white and blue fruit salad, which is particularly delightful after all the grilled meats at the cookout.
