    Homemade Popsicle Ideas

    Recipe



    .
    For mini popsicles, pour orange, apple or grape juice or flavored drink mix into ice cube trays. Partially freeze, and then place toothpicks in the center of each cube (or place plastic wrap over the top, secure and insert toothpicks through plastic wrap).

    For non-traditional popsicles:


    Freeze applesauce in popsicle molds.

    Mix fruit or jam into yogurt. Freeze in small, snack-sized Ziploc bags for frozen yogurt on the go. Cut a hole in the end of the bag for easy eating.

    Mix gelatin and freeze. Add gummie fish or worms before freezing for added fun.

    Freeze syrup from canned fruit.

    Add food coloring or sprinkles to yogurt or softened ice cream for added pizzazz, then freeze in popsicle molds.

    When you have leftover jam or jelly, put 1/4 cup of hot water in the jar and shake well. Pour into popsicle molds and freeze.

    If jelly or jam doesn't set up well, use for popsicles or add more water, boil and make syrup.

    Make a batch of pudding. Add coconut, nuts, marshmallows, crushed cookies or sprinkles, if desired. Pour into molds. Freeze several hours until firm.

    Stick a toothpick in the center of blackberries, strawberries, raspberries or sliced bananas. Dip in chocolate, if desired. Freeze on a tray. Once frozen, store in freezer bags.

    For easy snow cones, freeze orange juice (or any other flavored juice) in ice cube trays. Store frozen juice cubes in a plastic bag. Blend five cubes in the blender until they have a shaved ice consistency. The shaved ice will keep its consistency if kept frozen in a container.

    For watermelon popsicles, blend 1 cup each watermelon chunks (seeds removed), orange juice and water. Blend well, then pour and freeze into molds.

    For strawberry popsicles, blend 2 cups strawberries, 1 cup vanilla ice cream or yogurt, 4 cups orange juice and 2 tablespoons sugar. Blend smooth. Pour into molds and freeze.

    For banana popsicles, dissolve one 3-ounce package strawberry gelatin with 1 cup boiling water. In a blender, mix gelatin, one banana and 1 cup yogurt or ice cream. Blend well, and pour into molds.
