How to Best Store these Peaches and Cream Cobble Popsicles
1. Choose the Right Container:
- Airtight containers: Use airtight containers like Tupperware, mason jars, or BPA-free plastic containers with secure lids. This prevents freezer burn and protects the popsicles from absorbing unwanted odors.
- Popsicle sleeves: If you have leftover popsicle molds, simply re-insert the popsicles for storage.
- Resealable freezer bags: For individual popsicles, consider using resealable freezer bags. Squeeze out any excess air before sealing for optimal storage.
2. Wrap Individual Popsicles (Optional):
- For added protection, especially if storing in a shared container, you can wrap individual popsicles in plastic wrap or parchment paper.
3. Label and Freeze:
- Label your container with the date and type of popsicle for easy identification.
- Place the container or wrapped popsicles in the back of the freezer, where the temperature is the most consistent.
Additional tips:
- Don’t refreeze melted popsicles: The texture and flavor will be compromised.
- Store popsicles for up to 2 months: While technically safe beyond that, the quality may deteriorate over time.
- Thaw frozen popsicles: Briefly run the popsicle under cold water to loosen them from the mold, or let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before enjoying.

Tips for Making the Best Fresh Fruit Popsicles:
Ingredients:
- Ripeness matters: Choose ripe, flavorful fruits for the best taste and sweetness. Overripe fruits can be used but may result in a softer texture.
- Variety is key: Experiment with different fruits, alone or in combinations, to discover your favorite flavors. Consider complementary flavors like peaches and cream, or contrasting ones like berries and citrus.
- Sweetness naturally: Opt for naturally sweet fruits like mangoes, bananas, or pineapples to minimize the need for added sugars. You can also try a touch of honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar for additional sweetness.
- Liquids: Choose your liquid base based on desired consistency and nutrition. Options include water, coconut water, fruit juice (use sparingly due to sugar content), or even yogurt for creaminess.
Blending and Freezing:
- Puree for smoothness: Blend your fruits and liquids until smooth and well-combined. This prevents ice crystals from forming and ensures a pleasant texture.
- Strain (optional): If you prefer a completely smooth texture or want to remove seeds, strain the puree before freezing.
- Fill carefully: Leave about ¼ inch of headspace in your popsicle molds to prevent them from overflowing as the mixture freezes and expands.
- Freeze thoroughly: Freeze the popsicles for at least 6-8 hours, or overnight, until they are completely solid.
Additional Tips:
- Pre-freeze fruit: For an extra icy texture, pre-freeze chopped fruit pieces and add them to the puree before pouring into molds.
- Popsicle mold fun: Use fun-shaped molds or add creative elements like edible glitter or small fruit pieces for visual appeal, especially for children.
- Unmolding: Dip the molds briefly in warm water to loosen the popsicles before pulling on the popsicle stick.
- Storage: Store leftover popsicles in an airtight container in the back of the freezer for up to 2 months.
By following these tips, you can create delicious and refreshing homemade popsicles that everyone will love!
