Ingredients
Scale
Strawberry Mixture
- 1 cup strawberries, diced
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Liquid Base
- 1 container Simply Lemonade (about 16 ounces)
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberry Mixture: Add the diced strawberries to a small bowl and sprinkle with sugar. Mix gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the strawberries release their juices. Lightly mash some strawberries if you prefer smaller pieces in your popsicles, or keep them whole for larger chunks.
- Fill the Popsicle Mold: Spoon the strawberry mixture evenly into each compartment of your popsicle mold, using all of the strawberry mixture.
- Add Lemonade: Pour Simply Lemonade over the strawberry mixture in each mold, leaving a small space at the top to allow for expansion when freezing.
- Insert Popsicle Sticks and Freeze: Place the lid on the mold and insert popsicle sticks. Freeze the popsicles until completely solid, at least 4-6 hours or overnight for best results.
- Optional Stirring: Note that some strawberries may float to the bottom during freezing. If you want an even distribution, gently stir the popsicles after about an hour of freezing, then return to freeze until solid. However, leaving them unstirred creates a fun pop of strawberries at the bottom, which kids often enjoy.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and sweetness.
- If desired, puree the strawberries instead of leaving them diced for a smoother texture.
- Allow some space at the top of the mold to prevent overflow during freezing.
- Store popsicles in an airtight container to avoid freezer burn and maintain freshness.
- Feel free to adjust the sugar amount based on the sweetness of your strawberries and lemonade.
