]]>Muffin Tins
A muffin tin is secretly one of the most versatile tools in your kitchen. You can use it to make all sorts of different treats, including ice pops – especially if you have a silicon muffin mold.
Plastic Cups
Instead of throwing old plastic cups away, put them to some good use by utilizing them to make delicious ice pops. They’ll taste and look just as good as the real thing, while also being made in an eco-friendly way.
Yogurt Container
Speaking of sustainable alternatives to ice pop molds, old yogurt containers will also get the job done. Save them up for later, and use them to freeze your favorite ice pop mixture. It’s recommended to run them under warm water before getting them out, just like with regular molds.
Ice Cube Trays
When everything else fails, you can use your ice cube tray to make bite-sized ice pops, but you’ll probably be tempted to eat more than one at a time because they’re so tiny.

]]>Good Mold
The mold you’re using can make or break your popsicle-making adventure. Popsicle molds come in many shapes and sizes and they’re made of all sorts of different materials. Put some effort into finding a quality mold and don’t be cheap because it’s a one-time investment.
Hot Water Treatment
The best way to safely remove your popsicles from your mold is to run it under hot water beforehand. A few seconds is usually all it takes, but you can also consider dipping your mold in warm water for 20 to 30 seconds, making it easier to remove them.
Avoid Room Temperatures
Leaving popsicle mold at room temperature before removing ice pops is one of the most popular unmolding methods, but it’s not extremely effective. It’s a messy process because your ice pops won’t have clean edges and you shouldn’t be surprised if they break because they’ll thaw unevenly.

This unique flavor combo is a tropical blast! All you need is pineapple, vanilla paste, and a tiny bit of salt. This flavor will give you pineapple-upside-down-cake vibes in popsicle form! Try adding some coconut milk for a richer piña colada twist.
Peaches ‘n Cream
An absolute classic, this easy peaches and cream popsicle is great for little kids! All you need are some pureed peaches, vanilla yogurt, and milk if the peaches are too think. You can blend everything up and freeze it for a creamy, fruity treat! If you don’t have any peaches in the house, you can try using other fruit instead—it will be delicious either way.
Banana Peanut Butter
For something more substantial that can be eaten as a real snack or for breakfast, blend up yogurt, peanut butter, banana, and honey. Add some dark chocolate chips or chunks to the mixture and pour them into your popsicle molds for a balanced meal in popsicle form!

]]>Popsicle Materials
Popsicles can be made of many different materials, including plastic, silicone, and stainless steel. Plastic and silicone models are more affordable, but buying the ones made from stainless steel can be a good investment because they’re more durable and can freeze your ice cream quickly.
Perfect Size
Popsicles can take up a lot of space, so it’s important to take the size of your freezer into the consideration when picking the mold set. Smaller and detachable, one-piece sets are your best bet if you’re struggling with a lack of space in your freezer.
Quirky Shapes
Popsicles come in many fun and quirky shapes, but it’s not always easy to make them look this way. If you’re tempted to buy popsicle molds of an unusual shape, keep in mind it can be difficult to pop them out and clean them, and your popsicles won’t always look the way you envisioned them.

]]>The absolutely easiest way to make frozen yogurt popsicles is to just put popsicle sticks inside yogurt containers and leave them in the freezer. You can add the toppings later, which means the popsicles can be easily customized. It’s great when everyone can add preferred toppings without having to just go with whatever’s already made, which makes this dessert very versatile.
It only takes a few minutes to make frozen yogurt popsicles with store-bought yogurt. Choose your favorite flavor that comes in small containers—4 oz portions are perfect for this. Insert a stick into every container, freeze overnight, and enjoy your healthy and delicious dessert the next day!
For toppings, you can use Nutella, granola, nuts, coconut flakes, or anything else you have in the pantry. Use sprinkles if you want to make the popsicles colorful for kids’ birthdays and similar parties or use nuts and coconut for more elegant popsicles.

]]>No. 5: Fudgsicle
These chocolate popsicles come in at the No. 5 spot. They’re simple, but chocolaty without having too much else going on.
No. 4: Lemon Ice
Lemon Ices are super refreshing and it’s no surprise they made it on the top five list. These don’t taste nearly as artificial as the sorbet we’re used to.
Tied For No. 2: Firecracker
The No. 2 spot is a tie between Firecracker ice pops and Choco Tacos. Firecrackers are the perfect treat for Memorial Day, Fourth of July, and Labor Day as they’re super patriotic with their red, white, and blue design. The red is cherry, the white is lemon, and the blue is blue raspberry.
Tied For No. 2: Choco Taco
This ice cream resembles a taco, hence its name. Choco Tacos feature a waffle cone, vanilla ice cream, fudge, peanuts, and a milk chocolate coating.
No. 1: Klondike Bar
The most popular ice cream truck treat goes to the Klondike Bar. It’s a square ice cream coated with a thin layer of chocolate. Perhaps the tagline, “What Would You Do For A Klondike Bar” paid off.

]]>Popsicle
This is normally the cheapest option, probably because popsicles are typically frozen water with some flavor, food coloring, and sugar. The fancier types might include fruit bits or candy frozen into the icy liquid. They are fantastic for the hottest days of summer, but make sure to have a tap nearby to wash your hands after.
Sorbet
Dairy-free and available at ice-cream parlors, sorbets are normally frozen pureed fruit with sugar. They make for a perfect dessert after a rich meal and go well with a summer cocktail.
Soft Serve Ice Cream
A beach-side classic that can be served in a cone or a cup. You can upgrade your soft serve with a chocolate bar, sprinkles, or some chocolate syrup. Not ideal for very hot days as the ice cream might melt faster than you can eat it.
Ice Cream Sandwich
These crowd-pleasers are made of two simple cookies with vanilla ice cream in the middle, or a more elaborate option of chocolate chip cookies with pistachio or mocha ice cream in between.
