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)
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
