FAQs

How do you make popsicles creamy and not icy? ›

Fortunately, there's an easy way to prevent this unwanted outcome by using an unexpected ingredient: cornstarch. When you're creating the mixture for your popsicles, you can add a few teaspoons of cornstarch. Blend it with the rest of your ingredients, then pour the liquid into the popsicle molds as usual.

What ingredient makes popsicles soft? ›

one thing is for sure: these refreshing summer treats are sure to beat the heat. While fresh fruit popsicle recipes abound, this recipe has a uniquely pleasing texture that comes from a (not so) secret ingredient: pectin. The pectin makes the pops smoother, less icy, and softer to bite.

What makes popsicles softer than ice? ›

There are many ways to create popsicles with a pleasing texture and avoid the rock-hard bite. Sugar, dairy, cornstarch, gelatin, pectin, and alcohol all help keep ice crystal formation small, which makes for a softer texture.

How to make yogurt popsicles less icy? ›

Tips for making the best frozen yogurt popsicles

Make sure to use full-fat Greek yogurt. The full fat in the yogurt helps reduce the water content, so they become more creamy and less icy.

Why do you put cornstarch in popsicles? ›

The cornstarch is what keeps the popsicles creamy. It's a little secret ingredient we add to our cream-based popsicles. It makes the popsicle so it's not icy when you bite it, which is essential for flavor and texture.

How do you make ice cream creamy instead of icy? ›

That is, the more sugar you add, the softer and less icy your batch will be. The kind of sugar you add also matters. High-viscosity liquid sweeteners like honey, glucose syrup, and yes, good 'ol corn syrup make for a more viscous base, which translates into chewy richness in churned ice cream.

What causes popsicles to not freeze? ›

The liquid you're making pops with contains alcohol or if it's too high in fat, oil or sugar. The liquid you're making pops with is too soft or has too many solids. For example, if you made a chocolate pop from cocoa and used too high of a cocoa to water ratio, your pop may not freeze.

Why are store bought popsicles softer? ›

The fast melting, “softer” qualities of commercial popsicles come mostly from a high sugar content. Because sugar syrup freezes at a lower temperature than water, a popsicle is basically a sweet cold syrup contained by a mesh of tiny ice crystals.

How to get homemade popsicles out? ›

How do you get popsicles out of the mold? With plastic or stainless steel molds, you must run them under hot water to successfully remove the popsicle. If the popsicle is sticking to the mold, simply place it in hot water for five seconds longer and try releasing it again.

How do you loosen homemade popsicles? ›

Freeze for at least 4 hours before serving. Run a plastic popsicle mold under warm water for 15-30 seconds to help release the popsicle as needed. Let yogurt-based popsicles sit at room temperature for 10 minutes so they soften and are a little creamy before serving.

How do you keep homemade popsicles from sticking? ›

I find the best method is to fill a pan or container that is at least as tall as your mold with warm (not hot) water, and briefly dip the mold in until the pops loosen, about 20 to 30 seconds. Remove the mold from the water and place it on a sturdy surface.

How to make homemade popsicles creamy and not icy? ›

How do you make homemade popsicles less icy? For a more creamy-based popsicle add a couple teaspoons of cornstarch. This will help the popsicles from becoming too icy and give them more of a creamy texture.

What does xanthan gum do to popsicles? ›

****Optional: xanthan gum acts as a stabilizer, ensuring a consistent texture while freezing (but it's also totally optional). I particularly suggest it if you're going to leave your popsicles in the freezer for a while, or if you like your texture extra creamy.

Can you freeze Greek yogurt to make it like ice cream? ›

Freezing in a Container for Scooping

Sometimes, the simplest pleasures are the best—grab a spoon and enjoy frozen yogurt straight from your freezer. All you'd need is a simple container to transform your yogurt into a scoopable delight. We recommend freezing it in a shallow container, just like you would ice cream.

How do you keep popsicles frozen without dry ice? ›

Although it's usually enough to add ice to the bottom of the cooler and directly over top of the popsicles, there's no such thing as taking extra precautions against melting. To keep frozen treats especially frigid, simply increase the amount of contact area between popsicle and ice.

Does gelatin make popsicles softer? ›

Gelatin changes the consistency of the popsicle in a way that I can't really describe. Some people describe them as “creamy,” but they aren't really creamy in the same way that ice cream is. On the other hand, they are smoother and softer than an icy popsicle made from juice or fruit puree alone.

How to make popsicles that aren't rock hard? ›

How do you make homemade popsicles that aren't rock-hard? Making popsicles that turn out creamy instead of rock-hard comes down to the ingredients you blend. Use canned coconut milk or make sure there is another healthy fat blended into the mixture before freezing to ensure you get a creamy result.
