Tips & Tricks

  • If your popsicle molds don’t have a lid, cover with a couple layers of plastic wrap or aluminum foil to hold the sticks in place.
  • Leave a 6mm/1/4” gap at the top of each mold to allow expansion during freezing. 
  • Artificial sweeteners will change the texture of the popsicles, making them icier and harder.
  • If you would like a full raspberry and lemon flavour all the way through the popsicle blend the raspberries with all of the lemonade mixture.
  • Mixture can also be strained to minimize any seeds.

How to store:

  1. Store the popsicles frozen in bags
  2. Or wrap popsicles individually in plastic for up to 1 month.
