FAQs
Can I use fresh fruit instead of frozen?
Frozen fruit is recommended to help the popsicles freeze properly and achieve a firm texture, but fresh fruit can be used if you add some ice cubes to the blender.
How can I prevent popsicles from sticking to the molds?
Run warm water briefly over the outside of the mold before removing the popsicle to loosen it without melting the treat.
