Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 container (about 32 oz) Simply Lemonade
- 1 cup strawberries, diced
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberries: Add the diced strawberries to a small bowl. Sprinkle with sugar and mix gently. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes until the strawberries release their juices. Lightly mash a few strawberries if desired, but keep most pieces whole for texture.
- Fill the Popsicle Molds: Evenly spoon the strawberry mixture into the popsicle molds, distributing all the strawberries and juice.
- Add the Lemonade: Pour Simply Lemonade over the strawberry mixture in each mold, leaving a little space at the top to allow for expansion during freezing.
- Insert Popsicle Sticks and Freeze: Place the mold lids on and insert the popsicle sticks. Freeze the popsicles until they are completely solid, which usually takes several hours or overnight.
- Optional Stirring: Note that some strawberries may settle to the bottom as they freeze. To distribute the fruit evenly throughout the popsicle, gently stir the mixture once or twice during the initial freezing stage. This step is optional and depends on your texture preference.
Notes
- If you prefer a smoother texture, you can puree the strawberries before mixing with sugar.
- Leave some strawberry chunks for texture and bursts of flavor inside the popsicle.
- Allow popsicles to freeze completely—typically 6-8 hours or overnight—for best results.
- For easier removal, briefly run the popsicle molds under warm water before pulling out the popsicles.
- Adding the sugar to the strawberries helps draw out their natural juices and enhances sweetness.
