I love the idea of making homemade popsicles, I have found some “ice candy platic” in my drawer, my parents bought them some years ago back home, so i managed to make some mango ice candy, oh me and my daughter enjoyed them very much!

I was able to get these popsicle molds for my kids. It lets you pull out each popsicle individually. They’re been experimenting like crazy! They blend yogurt with ice cream, root beer with lemonade, chocolate with orange juice (ick). Thanks for the fresh fruits idea! We have to try that! :)

Great summer treat with real fruity fruits no artificial flavor, color or cream involved – all natural and cardiovascular friendly too!

Run the mold under running water or dip in basin/bowl with water for a few seconds to take out the popsicle easily from the mold – a trick i learned way back, always works for me. :)

I recently came across your blog.
Fantastic read. Thanks for the enjoyment!
p.s. I never imagined popcicles could look so luscious.

I don’t like those molds too, and so I resorted to paper cups (the small type used for bathroom/kitchen), and then when its frozen, I just ripped the paper. I saw on TV that they use the eggs container for same purpose. I think that’s a good idea, sort of cheap at the same time, recycling what comes from the store.

The colors are enough to make your mouth water.
What kid can resist those tempting cool delights, and grown ups too! Those moulds are really nice, but I guess we have to make do with plastic strips.
With the rising temperature now, these are indeed wonderful and economical treats especially if the kids make it themselves.

I love jelly tongue too… it’s weird but good! Hehehe. I remember Jelly Jooze was in the market more than a decade back (jelly na juice naman) but it’s now gone!

I love the popsicle mold! Since the Uyab and I don’t have posicle molds, we settle for ice candy (ice lollies?). Last week we made mango. Two weeks ago, it was avocado. I would love to try blackberries. Or maybe even a berry mix in different layers. But that would be wuite difficult to do with ice candy bags. Haha.

MM, were the blackberries you used the same as those in the frozen food section of Rustan’s? The ones I saw looked more like puree than whole fruit. But then again, if I’m going to blitz them anyway then I guess it’s alright.

Summer is here! Yippee! Time to learn to surf!
