Notes
Pro Tips

Freezing in layers creates beautiful stripes. Don't skip the partial freezing between layers or colors will bleed together. Adding a bit of alcohol (1 tbsp vodka or rum) creates softer popsicles that are easier to eat. Silicone molds release popsicles most easily.

History & Origin

Homemade fruit popsicles gained popularity as a healthier alternative to store-bought frozen treats. Made with real fruit and minimal added sugar, they're refreshing poolside treats that appeal to both kids and adults.
