Always add a tablespoon of cornstarch to cream-based popsicles to make them creamy and not icy! It's the best tip!

Water freezes into ice cubes, which is obvious not an ideal popsicle. But when you start adding things like sugar, fibers from fruit, or fat from coconut milk, the molecules can't freeze as neatly and the result is a creamier, more bitable popsicle.

For Non-Icy Popsicles, use Pectin! I've discovered that the trick to keep fresh fruit popsicles from getting overly icy and hard is an ingredient I use quite regularly in canning and jam recipes, but had yet to explore in freezer situations: pectin.

Ingredients: skim milk, cane sugar, coconut cream, coconut, cream, guar gum, carob bean gum, natural flavor, carrageenan, xanthan gum.

An open container of coconut milk will last for a week in the fridge, but if you know you probably won't get to it in that amount of time, freeze it immediately. Transfer your unused coconut milk to a freezer-proof container that is just large enough for the quantity you need to store.

The liquid you're making pops with contains alcohol or if it's too high in fat, oil or sugar. The liquid you're making pops with is too soft or has too many solids. For example, if you made a chocolate pop from cocoa and used too high of a cocoa to water ratio, your pop may not freeze.

Ingredients in homemade popsicles vary based on the flavor you're making, but generally they can include fruit, yogurt, fruit juice, and optional added sweeteners like honey or maple syrup. What ingredient makes popsicles soft? Greek yogurt or full-fat coconut milk can help homemade popsicles stay soft.

Whole milk – I don't recommend replacing it with reduced fat or skim. Whole milk's higher fat content ensures that the homemade ice cream comes out creamy, not icy. Cane sugar – For sweetness.

How to make popsicles with good texture? ›

Give your pops a little texture by adding semi-puréed, ripe fresh fruit, or sliced dried fruit. You can even use vegetables (see Level 2 for more inspiration!) that are either cooked or ripe and tasty to eat raw—like cucumbers. You can use a blender to achieve the ideal texture for this style of ice pop.

These homemade popsicles can be stored in the freezer for 2-3 months in an airtight container. Enjoy frozen. Honey. honey is my favorite sweetener to use in this recipe because it's natural, imparts a subtle but delicious flavor, and is not too expensive!

I find the best method is to fill a pan or container that is at least as tall as your mold with warm (not hot) water, and briefly dip the mold in until the pops loosen, about 20 to 30 seconds.

Popsicle machine freezes ice-pops in few minutes using a tank of super-chilled Propylene Glycol + Water. RXSOL Propylene Glycol is pure and suitable to use in ICE freezing machine.

****Optional: xanthan gum acts as a stabilizer, ensuring a consistent texture while freezing (but it's also totally optional). I particularly suggest it if you're going to leave your popsicles in the freezer for a while, or if you like your texture extra creamy.

Sugar also affects texture. Unadulterated yogurt will harden into a brick when frozen, but adding sugar will transform it into soft, smooth, and creamy. This happens because sugar is hygroscopic, meaning it attracts water and lowers the freezing point.

Super Easy Coconut Ice

Mix together the condensed milk and icing sugar. Stir in the desiccated coconut until the mixture has reached a super stiff consistency – you may need to add a bit more desiccated coconut to achieve this [watch our video to see the desired consistency!].

Coconut cubes are frozen ice cubes full of full-fat coconut milk, cashews and MCT oil. They are an easy way to add healthy fat and nutrients to smoothies to help your body break down the smoothie ingredients for long-lasting energy.

Though it can vary from company to company, popsicle sticks are typically made of birchwood. Occasionally, plastic or another type of wood is used for ice cream sticks and holders, but birchwood remains popular for many reasons.
