I love sipping on something chilled and tangy throughout the summer. One other thing I love indulging in, are summer fruits; kiwis, berries etc. you name it. Now club these two together and you got yourself SUMMER POPSICLE.

Why make SUMMER POPSICLE?

Firstly, its delicious! Secondly, you can make it at home in no time with just a handful of ingredients. Unlike store bought popsicle, there are no artificially added colors or flavors which makes it ideal for children. In the hot months of July and August, I prefer serving popsicles to my guests as dessert and they all love it! It makes for the perfect colorful ending to your barbeque nights.

Which FRUITS should I use?

Use any of your favorite citric and juicy fruits like raspberry, peach, kiwi etc. Do not use dense fruits like apples or pears.

Can I substitute the sugar with something else?

Absolutely! Instead of sugar, you can use maple syrup or honey. Just remember to dissolve the maple syrup or honey in lemon juice first before adding it to the water.

Easy way to remove popsicle from the mold?

Take piping hot water in a heat resistant glass. Hold the popsicle in the water for 30 secs and it will slide out easily.

For this Summer Popsicle I have used my all-time favorite Tovolo Ice Pop Molds. (Affiliate Link)
