Cool for the Summer
7 TIPS FOR THE PERFECT POPSICLE
HEALTHY SUMMERTIME POPSICLES Ingredients
There’s nothing like an icy treat to cool down with on a hot summer day. But ice cream and store-bought popsicles tend to be full of processed sugar and artificial flavors. Beat the heat with a homemade treat instead! Here are some tips for creating the perfect homemade popsicles.
•
2 cups berries
•
Turn your freezer to the coldest setting and put your molds at the back of the freezer. The quicker your popsicles freeze, the creamier they will be because fewer ice crystals will form. When you’re ready to eat your popsicles, carefully run the molds under warm water until they loosen. Gently wiggle the popsicle back and forth until it easily slides free. Store uneaten popsicles in airtight freezer bags to prevent freezer burn.
•
Invest in a popsicle mold. You can make popsicles with ice cube trays or paper cups, but an inexpensive popsicle mold can completely change the aesthetic of your popsicles, making them even more fun and delicious. Use a pastry bag or freezer bag with a corner cut off to easily fill popsicle molds without making a mess. When filling the molds, leave a 1/4 inch of space at the top. The mixture will expand when it freezes. If your popsicle mold comes with a snap-on lid, leave the lid unsealed. Opening the lid when the molds are frozen can crack the brittle plastic.
