Easy Homemade Fruit Popsicles
Equipment
- Popsicle Molds
- Blender
- Measuring Cup
- Knife
- Cutting Board
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh Fruit (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, mangoes, etc.)
- 1 cup 100% Fruit Juice (e.g., orange juice, apple juice, etc.)
- 2 tablespoons Honey or Maple Syrup
- 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice Optional, for adding brightness
Instructions
- Prepare the Fruit: Wash and chop the fresh fruit into small pieces. If using berries, you can leave them whole or cut them in half for larger fruits like strawberries.
- Blend: In a blender, combine the chopped fruit, fruit juice, honey (if using), and lemon juice. Blend until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend for less time or pulse the mixture.
- Fill the Molds: Pour the fruit mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a small gap at the top to allow for expansion as the mixture freezes.
- Insert Sticks: Place the popsicle sticks into the molds. If your molds don’t have built-in sticks, you can insert wooden sticks after an hour of freezing to help them stay upright.
- Freeze: Place the molds in the freezer and freeze for 4-6 hours, or until completely solid.
- Unmold and Enjoy: To remove the popsicles from the molds, run the outside of the mold under warm water for a few seconds. Gently pull on the sticks to release the popsicles.
