Tips, Tricks and Storage

  • Taste Before Freezing: Adjust the sweetness or tartness before freezing — everyone likes their lemonade a little different. For a more tart flavor, add more lemon. 
  • Warm Water Trick: To release the pops easily, run the mold under warm water for a few seconds — they’ll slide right out without cracking. Try not to get too much water inside the mold, though.
  • Storage: Once frozen, you can remove the popsicles from the molds and store them in a sealed container or zip-lock bag in the freezer for up to 3 weeks. They’re best within 2–3 weeks for optimal texture and flavor.

Substitutions and Variations

Try it with raspberries, peaches, or watermelon for a different flavor twist, or add a handful of mint leaves for something extra fresh. Just follow your taste and have fun with it!

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use bottled lemonade instead of making it fresh?

Yes, you can. Just make sure it’s not overly sweet — you can always balance it with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.

Q: What if I don’t have Greek yogurt?

You can substitute with regular yogurt, but the popsicles may be less creamy and have a slightly icier texture. You can also use dairy-free yogurt, such as coconut or almond milk yogurt.

Q: How do I make these less icy?

Adding a little honey or agave helps soften the texture, or you can blend in a bit of yogurt for extra creaminess.

Q: Can I use frozen strawberries?

Absolutely. Just thaw slightly before blending for a smoother texture.

Q: How long do they take to freeze?

Usually around 4–6 hours, but overnight is best for a solid freeze and easy unmolding.

Q: Do I need special popsicle molds?

No. Paper cups or reusable silicone molds work great. Just add a piece of foil on top and poke the stick through before freezing. Can’t get enough of strawberry season? Try our Strawberry Cheesecake Cups or Strawberry Lemonade Pound Cake next! Each is a simple, sweet, and tasty treat!
