Common Questions About Red White and Blue Popsicles

Are these popsicles healthy?

Yes, these Red White, and Blue Popsicles are made with healthy ingredients such as fresh strawberries and coconut milk. You can also adjust the sugar level according to your preference or substitute it with a healthier alternative like maple syrup.

Can I use other fruits for the red layer?

Absolutely! While this recipe uses strawberries, you can substitute them with raspberries or any red fruit of your choice.

Can I make these popsicles without a popsicle mold?

Yes, if you don’t have a popsicle mold, you can use small paper cups or even an ice cube tray for mini popsicles. Just cover them with aluminum foil and poke the wooden popsicle sticks through.

Storage

These healthier popsicles keep things cool in the summer and avoid some of the chemicals found in other popsicles!

Refrigerator

The popsicle mixture can be stored in the refrigerator between layering, but the finished product should be kept in the freezer to maintain its shape and consistency.

Freezer

Once fully frozen, these popsicles can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Wrap individual popsicles in wax paper and store them in airtight plastic bags to prevent freezer burn.

Tips

From the very start of summer, my kids are always asking for popsicles and other cold treats. These will be sure to satisfy everyone!

• Make sure each layer is fully frozen before adding the next one to get distinct red, white, and blue stripes.
• If you’re using fresh strawberries, add a little bit of extra sugar to enhance their sweetness.
• The sugar in the blue layer can be adjusted based on the sweetness of the Kool-Aid. Start with less sugar and add more if needed.
• Ensure your coconut milk or yogurt is full-fat for a creamier texture.

Ingredients

• Granulated Sugar

How to Make Red White and Blue Popsicles

Make these ahead of your next party. Be sure to let the kids get involved. Mine always love the process of freezing the different layers.

1. In a blender, blend the strawberries, water, and sugar together. 
2. Pour into the popsicle molds, filling each ⅓ full. Freeze for 2 hours.
3. For the white layer, combine the coconut milk, sugar, and lemon juice in a blender and blend together.
4. Pour this mixture on top of the frozen red layer filling each mold ⅔ of the way full. Freeze for another 2 hours.
5. For the blue layer mix the water, sugar, and blue raspberry kool-aid. Add this layer to the top of the popsicles and freeze for 4 more hours.

Notes:

●     You can substitute the strawberries for raspberries in the red layer if desired.

●     Yogurt can be a substitute for coconut milk.
