• Corn syrup – I use light corn syrup so it won’t affect the color of the popsicles.

Storage Instructions

Homemade popsicles do not last as long as store bought popsicles because they don’t have as many preservatives. Keep them for up to 6 weeks in the freezer.

Make sure to eat them quickly once they are removed from the freezer because they do melt quickly.

Why is There Corn Syrup in the Popsicles?

Corn syrup is used in this recipe and other popsicle recipes for a number of reasons. First, it helps to keep the sugars in the strawberries from crystallizing which makes for a softer texture. 

It also enhances the flavor of the popsicle.

These popsicles are delicious and soft thanks to the corn syrup added in.

Can I Make Without a Popsicle Mold?

Yes, you can make popsicles without the help of a mold. Use small paper cups and straws. Dixie cups work great.

Create a cover using plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Note that they make take longer to freeze completely.

Another idea is to use ice cube trays and make bite-sized frozen treats.

Recipe Tips and Tricks

• To get the popsicles out of the mold easier, hold the mold under warm water to help loosen it for 10 to 20 seconds. Then pull the popsicles gently out of the mold.
• Use a funnel or piping bag to fill the molds with the popsicle mixture easier and avoid spilling. You can also use a spouted measuring cup. 
• Do not overfill the molds. Fill the molds 3/4 full depending on the volume of the sticks you are using.
