At Home Popsicles In Three Easy Steps! | Granville, NY

Things are heating up here in Granville and one of the easiest ways to cool down is with an ice cold popsicle! Don’t have any? No worries – this week’s blog is dedicated to making some homemade popsicles! We know it might sound time consuming and difficult, but it’s only three steps so we’re sure you can handle it! Check out those details below and contact our team when you’re ready to upgrade into a brand new CJDR from Zappone this June! We hope to see you soon! 

Things you’ll need: 

• Popsicle mold (we recommend a silicone mold) 
• Fruits and flavorings 
• Popsicle sticks
• And of course, a freezer

Step 1: 

• First, you’ll want to mix your fruits together. If you’d like your popsicles to be on the sweeter side, add in flavors like honey, agave nectar, or sugar if needed. Don’t forget that when frozen, the flavor of the popsicle won’t be as strong. We suggest making your mixture slightly sweeter than you would a smoothie! 

Step 2: 

• Now it’s time to pour your mixture into your mold! While the mixture will naturally expand when freezing, it’s important to leave a little space at the top of the mold. 
• Let it freeze! Depending on the thickness of your popsicles, it should take anywhere from 4 to 8 hours to freeze solid. Pro tip! Turn your freezer to the coldest setting possible. The quicker they freeze, the softer they will be in the end! 

Step 3: 

• Finally, it’s time to unmold your popsicles and enjoy them! We suggest running your mold under warm water for about 10 seconds each. Then, your popsicles should pop right out and you can either enjoy them or place them back in the freezer for a snack later!
