It’s sunny, it’s hot, and it’s high time to start popsicles! These are “homemade” ice creams, in a few minutes, just as tasty and with a much more interesting nutritional value than the ice creams you will find on the market. They will refresh young and old alike!
Are explains why you start making your own ice cream:
- Popsicles are ideal for cooling off while enjoying fruit!
- Nothing to do with the famous “mister freeze” or other brands of popsicles. The latter are generally only composed of sugar water, colorings and flavorings. Don’t be fooled, these are most often simple frozen candies without any nutritional quality.
- You control the sugar and fat content of your preparations.
- They are ideal for children (and adults we do not lay).
- You can vary the composition and the flavors to infinity: fruit, tofu, vegetable drink, yogurt, fruit juice… Dare to try new flavors (blueberries and lemon, pineapple and mint, strawberries and rhubarb, pear and vanilla…)
- At the time of tasting, pass the Popsicle mold under lukewarm water to facilitate unmolding.
- The riper your fruit, the sweeter the sweet flavor of the Popsicle.
No Popsicle molds? No problem!
Fill plastic or cardboard cups and cover them with aluminum foil. Use a knife to poke a small hole in the foil in the center of each cup and insert a craft stick. It’s ready!
