Strawberry Lemonade Popsicles Recipe

Introduction

These strawberry lemonade popsicles are a quick and refreshing summer treat that only requires three simple ingredients. Perfect for kids and adults alike, they combine sweet strawberries with zesty lemonade for a delightful cool-down snack.

Ingredients

• 1 container Simply Lemonade (or your favorite lemonade)
• 1 cup strawberries, diced
• 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Add diced strawberries to a small bowl, sprinkle sugar over them, and mix gently. Let the mixture sit for about 10-15 minutes until the juices start to form. You can lightly mash some strawberries if you prefer smaller pieces, or keep them mostly whole.
2. Step 2: Evenly spoon the strawberry mixture into your popsicle molds.
3. Step 3: Pour lemonade over the strawberries in the molds, leaving a small space at the top to allow for expansion as they freeze.
4. Step 4: Place the lids on the molds, insert popsicle sticks, and freeze until solid, about 4-6 hours or overnight.

Tips & Variations

• If you prefer strawberries evenly distributed throughout the popsicle, gently stir the mixture a couple of times as it begins to freeze.
• Swap sugar with honey for a natural sweetener alternative.
• Use thawed frozen strawberries if fresh ones aren’t available.
• For a homemade touch, try substituting store-bought lemonade with freshly squeezed lemonade.

Storage

Store the popsicles in a sealed popsicle mold or airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 month. To serve, let them thaw for a few minutes at room temperature for easier removal. No reheating is necessary.

FAQs

Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh?

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Ingredients

• 1 container Simply Lemonade or your preferred store-bought lemonade (about 32 oz)
• 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
• 1 tablespoon sugar (optional; can substitute with honey to taste)

Instructions

1. Prepare Strawberry Mixture: Add the diced strawberries to a small bowl, then sprinkle the sugar over them. Mix gently and let the mixture sit for about 5-15 minutes, allowing the strawberries to release their natural juices. Lightly mash a few strawberries if you prefer small bits throughout your popsicles or leave larger pieces if desired.
2. Fill Popsicle Molds: Spoon the strawberry mixture into popsicle molds, dividing evenly among the molds. Then, pour the lemonade over the strawberries, leaving a small space at the top for expansion during freezing.
3. Insert Sticks and Freeze: Place the lids on the molds and insert the popsicle sticks. Freeze the popsicles until completely solid, which typically takes about 4-6 hours or overnight.

Notes

• Some strawberries may float to the bottom of the popsicle during freezing. To distribute strawberries more evenly, gently stir the molds during the freezing process, but this step is optional.
• The sugar is optional if you prefer a less sweet popsicle or want to substitute with natural sweeteners like honey.
• You can use thawed frozen strawberries instead of fresh if fresh are not available.
• For a homemade lemonade option, replace store-bought with your own lemonade recipe.
