Common Questions About Jello Popsicles
Can I Use Different Flavors of Jello?
Absolutely! This recipe is really versatile. You can use any flavor of Jello you like to create a wide variety of delicious recipe combinations. Mix and match to suit your tastes, or to create fun, themed popsicles for special occasions.
How Do I Remove the Popsicles from the Molds?
If the popsicles are not easily released from the molds, run the mold under warm water for a few seconds. This will loosen them up and allow you to pull them out easily without breaking them.
Why Are My Jello Popsicles Not Freezing Properly?
Ensure that each layer of Jello is fully frozen before adding the next one. If a layer is still semi-liquid when you add the next, they might mix, creating a marbled effect rather than distinct layers.
Storage
While regular jello is certainly fun, these Jell-O popsicles will be the star of the show!
Refrigerator
Jello Popsicles are meant to be frozen, so they won’t hold up well in the refrigerator. They will lose their form and become liquid again.
Freezer
Store your Jello Popsicles in the freezer in a zip-top bag. They will keep for 1-2 months. Ensure they are fully frozen before transferring them to the bag to prevent them from sticking together.
Tips
I have so many great memories of hot summer days and my favorite jello flavor. With this fun summer treat you can make your own memories!
- For a clean layering effect, make sure each layer of Jello is completely frozen before adding the next one.
- Pouring the Jello mixture into the molds with a container that has a pour spout can help reduce spills.
- If you have leftover Jello mixture, pour it into a glass and enjoy it as a refreshing drink.
- If you want to insert popsicle sticks into your popsicles, wait until the first layer is slightly firm, then push the stick into the middle.
Ingredients
My favorite was always strawberry jello. I really enjoy the flavor combinations in these popsicles, though. It’s a rainbow of flavor!
