Description
Strawberry Lemonade Popsicles are a refreshing and simple summer treat made with just three ingredients: lemonade, fresh strawberries, and a touch of sugar. These popsicles combine the tartness of lemonade with the natural sweetness of strawberries, perfect for hot days and easy to prepare at home.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 container Simply Lemonade (approximately 59 fl oz)
- 1 cup strawberries, diced
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberry Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the diced strawberries and sugar. Mix well and let sit for 5-10 minutes until the strawberries release their juices, lightly mashing a few strawberries if desired to create some variation in texture.
- Fill Popsicle Molds: Spoon the strawberry mixture evenly into the popsicle molds, ensuring the mixture is distributed among all molds.
- Add Lemonade: Pour Simply Lemonade gently over the strawberry mixture in each mold, leaving a small space at the top to allow for expansion during freezing.
- Freeze Popsicles: Secure the lid on the popsicle molds and insert the popsicle sticks. Place the molds in the freezer and freeze until completely solid, typically 4-6 hours or overnight.
- Optional Strawberry Distribution: Note that strawberries may settle at the bottom during freezing. For an even distribution, gently stir the popsicles once during the freezing process, though this step is optional.
Notes
- Lightly mashing some strawberries creates a nice texture, but you can purée or leave strawberries larger depending on preference.
- Leaving space in the molds prevents popsicle overflow due to liquid expansion when freezing.
- Gentle stirring during freezing allows strawberries to be evenly dispersed throughout the popsicle.
- Freezing time can be extended overnight for best results.
- These popsicles are easiest to remove if dipped briefly in warm water before pulling out.
