FAQs
Store the leftover popsicles in their molds for up to six weeks. You can also remove them from the molds and place inside a freezer bag or container.
If your popsicle mold is not airtight, I suggest removing to ensure freshness. This option is also perfect for children because they can easily grab one from the container.
If they are stored properly, the popsicles will last up to 6 weeks.
Recipe tips
- Removing from mold. Do not run hot water over the mold or the popsicle might melt.
- Freezer overnight. The popsicles should be frozen a minimum of 5 hours but overnight is best to ensure they are fully frozen.
- Food Grade Popsicle Sticks. Look for food grade popsicle sticks and not craft sticks since you will be using these in food.
- Leave room in the molds. Leave a little bit of space at the top of each mold when filling with the mixture. It will expand during freezing.
