25 Popsicles You Need to Make This Summer
Nothing tastes better on a hot summer day than fresh-from-the-freezer homemade popsicles!
With the summer coming up, everyone is thinking about delicious, sweet, and cold treats to share with their family. And nothing screams summertime like a good old fashioned popsicle!
Since they require just a few simple ingredients, popsicles are easy to whip up at home. Once you learn the basic steps, you can make an infinite variety of fruity and creamy pops.
Tips for making homemade popsicles:
- Always use seasonal fruit that’s not overly ripe. The riper the fruit, the sweeter the pop, and the less added sugar you’ll need.
- Unless you’re making milk-, cream-, or yogurt-based pops, which tend to be thicker, fruit chunks will sink to the bottom of the pops. To prevent this, fill molds a quarter of the way, freeze them partially, and then add the rest of the fruit on top of the frozen part, and top it off with more of the base.
- Once you’ve made ice pops a few times and feel comfortable with the process, experiment with your own unique flavor combinations.
- To create a striped layer or two in your popsicles, rotate pouring two or three different mixtures into your mold. Make sure you let each layer partially freeze before adding the next one; repeat until there is only about one-quarter inch of room left. Insert the popsicle stick before the pop fully freezes.
Popsicle Making Essentials
If you have a well-stocked kitchen, making popsicles shouldn’t require too many additional purchases beyond molds and popsicle sticks.
