Hi Bold Bakers!
I’m excited to bring you another installment in my summer frozen dessert line up with my largely-requested Homemade Popsicles. With unlimited possibilities, there is a flavor for everyone. Made from natural fruit and good quality ingredients, they’re the perfect all-around treat.
How Do You Make a Popsicle?
I love Popsicles because you don’t have to follow exact measurements and ingredients like you generally have to do in most baking. Although I’m a rule follower and generally ok with that (maybe that’s why I like baking), popsicles do not follow that same principle. You can leave out an ingredient if you don’t have it or swap it out entirely for another one. If you don’t like lemonade, for example, use orange or cranberry juice!
Fruit, yogurt, and juice make up the majority of these delicious and healthy treats. The smooth fruit purees are fresh and provide enough natural sugar for perfectly balanced sweetness. Once layered into your favorite ice pop mold and frozen for a minimum of five hours, my popsicle recipes are incredibly refreshing and guaranteed to keep you cool on any summer day.
To remove your homemade popsicles, simply leave them out to set at room temperature or run the mold under water and gently pop them out. You can buy the Ice Pop Maker Molds I used HERE on Amazon.
So let’s get freezing!
Fresh Mango and Strawberry Popsicles
With rich mango and tart, ripe strawberries, this fruit combination is the perfect summer dessert. Given that these are all natural and free of added sugar, you’ll feel refreshed and guilt-free.
Fresh Mango and Strawberry Popsicles
Ingredients
- 12-15 large fresh Strawberry , Hulled And Halved
- 2 whole Ripe Mango , Peeled, Pitted And Cut Into Chunks
- Preparation
Instructions
- Puree mango chunks until smooth, and set aside.
- Puree the strawberries until smooth, and set aside.
- In your mold, fill ⅓ way with your mango puree, then follow with another ⅓ of Strawberry puree and then top it off with the mango.
- Cover mold, add sticks and freeze for at least 5 hours or overnight.
Recipe Notes
Creamsicle Popsicles
Creamsicles are a childhood favorite of mine. You’ll get the best of both worlds with my creamy and sweet popsicle recipe. I like to alternate between the 2 layers to get both cream and orange in one swoop – just like what I would do as a child.
Ingredients
- 1 1 /2 cups (12oz/ 360g) greek yogurt
- 4 tablespoons sugar (honey, agave or stevia)
- 3/4 cup (6floz/180g) cream
- 1/4 tsp vanilla
- 2 Cups (16floz/ 400ml) fresh orange juice
Instructions
- Mix the first 4 ingredients together in a bowl.
- Fill your mould ½ way with your yogurt mix
- Take your orange juice and fill the mould to the top with the (you can also swirl the 2 mixes together, I just liked the look of this way)
- Cover mold, add sticks and freeze for at least 5 hours or overnight.
Recipe Notes
Fudgesicle Popsicles
The best way I can describe this my homemade fudgesicle is that it’s like eating frozen ganache! A little taste of rich and creamy heaven. Have a go of it for a smooth and decadent delight.
Ingredients
- 4 oz (120g) chopped semi-sweet chocolate
- 3/4 cup (6floz/180g) heavy cream
- 1/2 cup (4floz/115g) milk
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa
- 1 tsp vanilla
Instructions
- Place chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl; set aside.
- Combine heavy cream, milk, and cocoa powder in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk until cocoa is dissolved and the mixture comes to a simmer. Remove from heat and pour over chocolate. Let it stand for 2-3 minutes. Whisk until smooth, stirring in vanilla. Pour through a fine-mesh strainer in case the cocoa powder was clumpy. Divide mixture evenly among the molds
- Cover mold, add sticks and freeze for at least 5 hours or overnight.
Recipe Notes
Lemonade Popsicles
This fresh fruit popsicle could not be simpler to whip up. Mix your favorite fruit with fresh lemonade and freeze. It sounds too simple, right? The results are absolutely gorgeous! I strongly suggest adding lime zest to your lemonade to bring out the best of flavors.
Ingredients
- 1 Kiwi , peeled and thinly sliced
- 10 raspberries , cut in half
- 5 strawberries
- 1 peach
- 10 Blueberries
- 2 Cups (16floz/ 400ml) fresh Lemonade (or you can use any fruit juice of your choice)
- lime zest (optional)
Instructions
- To your mold, add your favorite sliced fruit.
- Zest the lime into your lemonade. This is optional but I think you should try it because it tastes amazing and fresh.
- Fill your mold to the top with fresh lemonade, add the sticks and place in freezer until popsicles are frozen, around 5 hours

Ingredients

Instructions
- Working with one fruit at a time, puree in a small food processor. Rinse the machine out between fruits.
- Carefully spoon layer by layer of your fruit into each popsicle mold.

Hi Gemma! I love your channel… I have watched all your ice-cream treat videos 🙂 I am wondering what the ratio of ingredients are for your homemade lemonade…. you mention making a simple syrup. Could you please share your recipe/measurements? Thanks so much! 🙂
Awesome recipes. Thank you! my kids will love it. I have one question about cream while making creamy orange Popsicle. What kind of cream i have to use? please let me know. Thank you!
Hi Gemma,
I tried the lemonade, rainbow popsicle and the fudgesicle. However I needed to add sugar to the popsicle…it tasted like the milk was sour before 🙂 is the recipe really not using any sugar or sweetener or is that a typo?

They look delicious
Can’t wait to try one!!!
The best recipes ever for delicious healthy sweet summer treats. Love that they were not specifically created for little ones, but are definitely enjoyed by them and those that are still a kid at heart. Thank you for sharing these wonderful recipes and for the inspiration to create many more unique popsicle flavours using this method. My one and only critique (I sincerely apologize and feel silly noting this. But feel that negative people, trolls, will triumph over this opportunity unless it’s changed) is at the very end of the recipe for chocolate fudgesicles states The recipe is vegan and… Read more »
