DIY Popsicle Recipes

Ingredients: 

• 15 ounces A&W® Root Beer 
• 1 cup vanilla ice cream 

Instructions: 

1. Let the vanilla ice cream sit out for 5 minutes or until it becomes slightly melted.  
2. Fill each mold a third to half full of ice cream.  
3. Fill each mold with A&W Root Beer. Since the root beer will foam, let it sit for a minute until that foam goes down and fill some more until you have liquid to the top of each mold.  
4. Put the popsicle mold lid on and insert popsicle sticks.  
5. Let freeze overnight and serve. You can run the mold under lukewarm water for a minute to release the popsicles from the mold easier.

Recipe from: Creative Homemaking

Ingredients: 

• 2 cups strawberries 
• 1–2 Tbsp. pure maple syrup, honey, or agave
• 2 cups orange juice
• Popsicle Mold 
• Popsicle Sticks 

Instructions:

1. In a blender, puree strawberries until smooth. Taste the mixture and sweeten with 1-2 Tbsp. syrup, honey, or agave, if needed 
2. Divide the strawberry mixture between your popsicle molds (mine holds 10 pops). Tap the popsicle mold on the counter a few times to remove any air bubbles and to help the puree settle. 
3. Add about 1″ orange juice on top of the strawberry puree in each popsicle mold. Use a straw, drink stirrer or popsicle stick to gently swirl the orange juice into the top of the strawberry mixture. (This will help you create a gradient of color) 
4. Pour the rest of the orange juice into the popsicle molds. 
5. Insert sticks & cover with a lid if you can* 
6. Freeze 3-4 hours or until completely solid. 
7. To remove pops from the mold, run the outside of the mold under cold water for a few seconds, then jiggle the sticks side to side to loosen the pops. (Run the mold under water again if they’re still not loosening.)
