- Pureed strawberries (approx 4 oz total)*
- Coconut milk (we used canned coconut milk)* or you can use Lemonade
- Pureed blueberries (approx 4 oz total)*
- Paper cups (we used bathroom sized cups - 3oz; our recipe made 4 pops)
- Wooden craft sticks
- Foil or wrap
- Scissors
- Optional: muffin pan liners
How To:
STEP ONE: Add a small amount of strawberry puree to each cup. Place in freezer for about an hour.
STEP TWO: Once frozen, remove from freezer and add coconut milk layer.
STEP THREE: Before returning the pops to the freezer, add a wooden craft stick and secure it in place with foil or plastic wrap. We cut a small slit in tin foil, wrapped it over the top of the cup and inserted the stick into the slit. It helps keep the stick upright before it freezes into place.
STEP FOUR: Let that layer freeze for about an hour.
STEP FIVE: Remove fruit pops from freezer and add the blueberry layer. If your stick gets wobbly, simply secure it again with foil when you refreeze with the blueberry layer. If the sticks end up freezing slightly off-center, it's ok, they taste the same!
STEP SIX: Refreeze for about an hour.
STEP SEVEN: Once the fruit pops are completely frozen, you can remove from the freezer. Peel away the paper cup and you should have fun and festive patriotic pops!
- Once frozen, the paper cups will easily peel away from your popsicle and they are ready to enjoy!
- Since fruit pops can melt and get messy, try this tip! Take a muffin liner, cut a small slit for the stick and place it on the bottom of your pops to catch drips!
