Chopped strawberries give these popsicles a fresh berry flavor. They look good too! Fresh or frozen strawberries will do; just make sure you can chop or slice them before adding them to the popsicle molds.
How to make homemade lemonade
This 3-ingredient lemonade recipe is handy for those times when you or your kids are craving popsicles but there’s no time to run to the store for lemonade. Here’s how it’s done:
Step 1: Make simple syrup. Simmer water and sugar in a saucepan until the sugar has dissolved. Take it off the heat and let it cool completely.
Step 2: Combine with water and lemon juice. Pour the cooled simple syrup, water, and freshly squeezed lemon juice into a pitcher. Stir to combine.
How to make strawberry lemonade popsicles
It’s so easy! You can have refreshing and tart homemade popsicles in just 4 simple steps:
Step 1: Toss the strawberries in the molds. Fill each popsicle mold with the chopped or sliced strawberries.
Step 2: Add the lemonade. Pour the lemonade over the strawberries until it reaches the top of the mold.
Step 3: Leave them to freeze. Top the molds with their covers and place the popsicles in the freezer. Leave them in the freezer for at least 8 hours or overnight for the best results.
Step 4: Remove from the molds and enjoy! Run the base of the ice-cold molds under warm running water to help loosen the popsicles. Take one or all of them out, then enjoy!
Variations
- Double strawberry popsicles - Swap the regular lemonade for strawberry lemonade for extra strawberry goodness.
- Add-ins and flavor boosters - Add lime zest, lemon zest, orange juice, watermelon juice, more fresh fruit, or berries.
- Creamy strawberry popsicles - Blend the strawberries and lemonade with ½ cup to 1 cup of yogurt. The yogurt helps the frozen strawberry popsicles taste creamy and thick.
- Instead of regular lemonade - Use my roasted strawberry lemonade, make your own custom-flavored lemonade with flavored simple syrup, or buy a storebought flavored lemonade instead. Remember to match the fruit with the flavor as well!
Recommended equipment
- Popsicle molds - There are so many popsicle molds to choose from but I’ve found these molds work best when making liquid-based popsicles. If you prefer creamy, yogurt, or milk-based ice cream popsicles, use these molds instead.
- Popsicle sticks - If your molds didn’t come with plastic holds, use wooden popsicle sticks, straws, toothpicks, or plastic cutlery instead.
If you don’t have popsicle molds, make the popsicles in paper or plastic cups, muffin pans, or plastic containers instead. Cover the tops with aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn.
How long do popsicles last?
The strawberry popsicles can be frozen for 3 to 6 months. They’ll stay fresh and delicious all summer long as long as they’re stored securely in their molds.
