Strawberry Lemonade Popsicles Recipe

Introduction

Strawberry Lemonade Popsicles are a refreshing treat perfect for warm days. Combining sweet, juicy strawberries with tangy lemonade creates a delightful flavor that’s both simple and satisfying. These popsicles are easy to make and great for the whole family.

Ingredients

• 1 container Simply Lemonade
• 1 cup strawberries, diced
• 1 tablespoon sugar

Instructions

1. Step 1: Add the diced strawberries to a small bowl, then sprinkle the sugar over them. Mix gently and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes until the strawberries release their juices. Lightly mash a few strawberries if you like small bits in your popsicles, or leave them mostly whole for more texture.
2. Step 2: Spoon the strawberry mixture evenly into your popsicle molds until it is all used up.
3. Step 3: Pour the lemonade over the strawberry mixture in each mold, leaving a small space at the top for expansion.
4. Step 4: Place the lids on the molds, insert popsicle sticks, and freeze until completely solid.

Tips & Variations

• If you prefer strawberries distributed throughout the popsicle rather than settled at the bottom, gently stir the mixture once or twice while freezing. Otherwise, leaving them to settle gives a nice burst of strawberry at the end.
• For a sweeter popsicle, add a bit more sugar to the strawberry mixture before freezing.
• Try using fresh-squeezed lemonade for a homemade touch and adjustable sweetness.

Storage

Store the popsicles in the freezer in their molds or an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. To enjoy, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly before serving.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh?

Yes, frozen strawberries can be used but they may release more liquid. Thaw and drain them slightly before mixing with sugar to prevent overly watery popsicles.

What if I don’t have a popsicle mold?

You can use small paper cups and wooden sticks or spoons as makeshift molds. Freeze until solid and peel away the cup before serving.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Ingredients

• 1 container Simply Lemonade (about 32 ounces)
• 1 cup strawberries, diced
• 1 tablespoon sugar

Instructions

1. Prepare Strawberries: Add the diced strawberries to a small bowl, then sprinkle the sugar over them. Mix gently and let the mixture sit for 5 to 10 minutes until the strawberries release their juices. You can lightly mash a few strawberries if you prefer small pieces in your popsicles, or keep them mostly whole for texture.
2. Fill Popsicle Molds: Evenly spoon the strawberry and sugar mixture into your popsicle molds until all the mixture is used up. This forms the fruity base of your popsicles.
3. Add Lemonade: Pour Simply Lemonade over the strawberry mixture in each mold, leaving a small space at the top to allow for expansion during freezing. This adds a refreshing citrusy layer to your popsicles.
4. Freeze: Place the lid on your popsicle molds and insert the popsicle sticks securely. Freeze the molds until the popsicles are completely solid, typically for at least 4-6 hours or overnight.
5. Optional Stirring for Even Distribution: Note that some strawberries may float to the bottom during freezing. If you want strawberries evenly distributed throughout, gently stir the popsicles during the early freezing phase. However, for ease and a delightful surprise at the end, you can skip this step as the mix tastes great either way.

Notes

• Lightly mashing some strawberries before adding sugar allows for a mix of textures in the popsicle.
• Leaving space on top of the mold is crucial for expansion to prevent cracking.
• Gently stirring early in the freezing process can distribute strawberries evenly but is optional.
• Use fresh strawberries for best flavor and texture.
• These popsicles are perfect for a quick, no-cook summer dessert or snack.
