Want to learn how to make homemade popsicles (that actually taste good)? This foolproof guide shows you how to make five delicious fruity flavors that are perfect for serving as a healthy summer treat!
Hey friends, Sarah here, author of For The Love Of Popsicles (the most popular popsicle book out there)! After developing over 75 different popsicle recipes for my book right in my home kitchen, I learned a thing or two about making popsicles.
This is my foolproof guide to help you make homemade popsicles with virtually any fruit or juice you have. I’m walking you through five classic flavors (but the possibilities are endless): Strawberry, Carrot Orange, Pineapple Mango, Kiwi, and Blueberry Yogurt.
As with the recipes in For the Love of Popsicles, these are healthier than your average pop, containing down-to-earth ingredients and less sugar (no high-fructose corn syrup here). Let’s get poppin’!
Basic Ice Pop Ingredients
It could be my food science background, but I just love a good formula! So I created one to help you make these frozen treats with virtually anything (jump to the recipe card for my five done-for-you flavors!):
- 2 cups of fruit
- 1 cup of fruit juice, milk, or yogurt
- 2 to 4 tablespoons sweetener
How to make popsicles
All of my homemade fruit popsicles follow the same method for making them:
- Blend everything together until smooth.
- Pour into molds, insert sticks, and freeze.
- Remove pops from molds by running the mold under warm water, or by setting it in a sink of warm water for a few seconds.
Strawberry Popsicles
When I think of homemade popsicles, bright red strawberry pops are the first to come to mind!
