Popsicles are a refreshing treat most often enjoyed during hot weather. But, with an ice cube tray, you can make these delicious desserts any time of the year. This simple recipe takes just a few minutes to prepare and can be customized to suit your taste. Follow these tips for making ice cube popsicles.
Instructions
1. Choose your favorite juice to flavor the ice cube popsicles. This can include fruit juice or lemonade. For a creamier flavor, choose your favorite flavor of ice cream, pudding or yogurt.
2. Fill each well in the ice cube tray a little more than halfway. Filling the tray too much will make transferring the tray to the freezer difficult. For an added treat, insert a gummy candy into each well. The candy will freeze in the middle of each popsicle.
3. Cover the ice cube tray with foil. Using the popsicle sticks, poke a hole into the center of each well of the ice cube tray and insert the stick into the well through the hole. The foil will enable the popsicle sticks to stand up straight.
4. Place the ice cube tray in the freezer until the popsicles are completely frozen. This should take at least four hours. To be sure the popsicles are totally frozen, you may want to leave them in the freezer overnight.
5. Remove the foil when the popsicles are frozen, taking care not to disturb stick. Popsicles can be removed from the ice cube trays by carefully flexing the tray to loosen each cube.
