    We just made the fudge popsicles and are putting them in the freezer now. I have two kinds of molds…ring pops and a push up mild, so we had leftover liquid. It made the perfect breakfast smoothie…I added a frozen banana, frozen spinach, vegan powder, and water. Everyone is happy!!

    Thanks for the recipes. I had trouble with the root beer foaming up over my popsicle molds. Any suggestions to help with that? I almost wondered if it would work better to do the soda 1st and then the whipped cream.

      I haven’t tried these but it stands to reason that flat rootbeer would be less tempramental, and wouldn’t taste different once frozen. Maybe a good use for leftover soda? (in the 2 liter, not in children’s cups/cans, yuck!)

      its best to open the soda and let it sit in the fridge for an hour. the pour and leave about a 1/4 inch room at the top of the mold to expansion

      Stick the tip of one of your fingers in the mold as you pour and it will keep it from foaming so bad. First job was a soda jerk. That was 50 years ago.

    I have tried Banana Colada and Fudgsicle Pops, but I guess the mix separates before it’s frozen so I get a more “ice” part on the top and a more “creamy” part on the bottom. It has always happened when I make popsicles, do you have any secret to avoid it?

    Reply
    • Brenda says

      July 29, 2014 at 10:46 am

      I don’t know if it’s a secret, but I have noticed some areas of my freezer freeze faster than others. Before a long trip I freeze a bunch of water bottles for the ice chest. The next day some will still be liquid while others are frozen solid. You might try something like that to discover which areas of yours freeze fastest, then put your popsicles there so they can get frozen before they have time to separate. I think it depends on how full the freezer is as well. It takes longer to freeze liquids when it is emptier.

    I’ve only made the fudgesicles… like 4 times! So yummy. I highly recommend adding some cocoa nibs to the molds before and after you pour the mixture in; gives a nice crunchy flavor. The recipe makes so much that I also tried freezing it in tupperware to make “fudgesicle ice cream.” Again, sprinkle some cocoa nibs and coconut on top = I ate so much that now my stomach hurts. But so worth it.

    If you dont have macadamia nuts for the key lime popsicles. Can you use another kind of nut instead, walnuts, almonds or pecans?

    Thank you very much! I hosted a fancy popsicle party and the kids and adults alike were raving! I noticed that the rootbeer float popsicles required 2 normal-sized glass bottles of rootbeer to fill my 10-count popsicle mold. I think the recipe would probably work best if you let the rootbeer get a bit flat first, fill the molds, then add the whipped cream last. (My opinion.) I want to try the cucumber mint popsicles again using pureed and unstrained cucumber. I also needed a bag of oranges to fill my set of 10 popsicles for the orange rosemary ones. I found the chocolate coating on the banana ones difficult to execute, next time I’d skip the coconut, stir choc chips into the banana puree and try a thin layer of melted chocolate at the base of the popsicle. About 6 peaches was all I needed to fill up my mold of 10 for the peach lavender ones. I’m still a bit confused about what the definition of a “sprig” is when we are talking about lavender. Thank you so much for these ideas!
