- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup fruit puree or juice (e.g., strawberry, mango, orange)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine water and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
- Stir in the fruit puree or juice and lemon juice until well combined.
- Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top for expansion.
- Insert popsicle sticks and freeze for at least 4 hours or until solid.
- To unmold, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds until popsicles release easily.
Tips
- For creamier popsicles, replace 1/2 cup of water with 1/2 cup of coconut milk or yogurt.
- Adjust sugar to taste depending on sweetness of fruit.
- Store popsicles in the freezer for up to 2 months.
