How to Make Strawberry Lemonade Popsicles

Begin by blending together the strawberries and 1 teaspoon of sugar until smooth.

Next, pour this mixture into the popsicle molds and place them in the freezer to set up while you prepare the lemonade layer. For the most distinct layers, let it freeze for 2 to 3 hours before adding the lemonade layer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can These Become Boozy Popsicles?

Yes. You can turn these popsicles into boozy treats by adding a bit of your favorite flavored vodka or rum to the mixture before freezing them. You can add different flavored liqueurs or alcohols. Just be sure to adjust the amount of sugar if you are adding something that is sweeter than what is already in the recipe.

What Ingredient Makes Popsicles Soft?

When making these types of popsicles, if you want a softer or creamier option, then you'll need to add in either coconut milk or Greek yogurt. For this flavor, the recipe, to keep the sharp flavors, make as shown. If you don't mind a slightly softer flavor and texture, then mix in ½ cup of coconut milk to replace ½ cup of water. It adds a nice creamy flavor and texture that pairs well with the strawberries.

How Long Do Homemade Popsicles Last?

Homemade popsicles last up to 3 weeks in the freezer when stored properly. Be sure to store them in an airtight container or bag and keep them away from other foods that may have strong odors that can be absorbed by the popsicles.

Ways to Make Popsicles Without a Mold

You can make popsicles without a mold by using an ice cube tray or by freezing the mixture in small cups with popsicle sticks inserted. For more creative ideas, you can freeze the mixture in paper cups and cut them into pieces when frozen, or even use molds like silicone cupcake liners.
