How to Make Popsicles

Popsicles are excellent treats. While the store-bought ones are great, homemade ones are even better because they're really easy to make and can be any flavor you choose.

[Edit]Making Popsicles Using Molds

  1. Invest in molds. Popsicle trays create the best results, while ice cube trays make miniature ice pops. The molds should be freezer-safe, preferably hard plastic.

  2. Create your mixture. Popsicles don't have to be just juice. Experiment with different varieties of drinks, by making gatorade popsicles, pudding popsicles, smoothie popsicles, or ice cube popsicles.

  3. Fill each mold about 3/4 full. You don't want to overfill it because the mixture will expand while freezing. It also may make it harder for you to get it out of the mold if overfilled.

  4. Cover the molds/cups with wrap. Aluminum foil works best, but you can also use plastic wrap. Be sure that it's on tightly.

  5. Push a popsicle stick directly in the middle of the mold. Make sure it touches the bottom of it. The foil or wrap should hold the popsicle stick in its place.

  6. Place the pops in the freezer for a few hours overnight or until the popsicles are solid. Check on it at intervals if desired.

[Edit]Making Popsicles Without Molds

  1. Get a cup or glass. Choose paper or plastic cups, or use yogurt containers or similar. Be sure to clean them out if they've been used before.

    • Whatever you use must be able to handle being placed in the freezer.
  2. Fill the cup most of the way. Fill with a smoothie, flavored milk or a juice (or combination of juices) of your choice.

  3. Pierce a hole in the middle of each lid. Push the stick through and rest almost at the base of the container but not quite. Repeat for each container until all six have sticks poking out of them.

  5. Serve. Whenever you want a popsicle, simply snap off one container, peel off the lid and hold by the stick. Enjoy!

    • Keep the container to catch drips or to hold the large popsicle when you need a rest between licks.

[Edit]Tips

  • Make sure that the stick is strong enough, otherwise it would slip off or not come out.
  • If you're using ice cube trays, toothpicks may be the best kind of handle to use, while popsicle sticks can be used when making taller popsicles.
