how to make lemonade popsicles
My mini chef is obsessed with lemonade. She went to the supermarket with daddy the other day and he bought her some lemonade push pops. She liked them, but thought they were too sweet. She LOVES sour ice pops!
So we went to the kitchen and made a tasty and icy treat. We’ve been working on this lemonade popsicles recipe for a bit now. We finally have it the way we want it. It’s not just traditional lemonade since that was too watery and we didn’t use any heavy cream or condensed milk because that was just too heavy.
Instead, we used whole milk yogurt and by using that it gave it the little bit of sweetness we wanted. If you want your lemonade poposicle recipe to be on the sweeter side you could do some simple syrup instead of just plain water.
Kay had a blast making these. She loves doing everything in the kitchen by herself now. She’s a pro at making eggs already at 4 years old! She can even fish out the occasional shell. 😉
It’s a refreshing treat that’s perfect for the spring and even better for a hot summer day. You can even add in mix-ins like fresh raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, the options are endless.
This make 8 total popsicles and when they’re frozen we place them into a freezer safe container and then get making more ice pops. I rarely purchase popsicles in the store during the summer months when all the fruit is ripe and delicious.
Also during the summer, we’re always picking tons of local and organic berries so we’re constantly making ice pops. Homemade ice pops are great for kids since you can control the ingredients that go into them. Plus you’re keeping hydrating with pure ingredients in these ice pops too!
We also use our FAVORITE ice pop mold
!
!Why is this ice pop mold our favorite?
- They look AMAZING! Just like ice pops in the stores
- Great for thin or thick consistencies
- Perfect for making healthy ice pops
- You can see through it (yay for layers!)
- BPA Free

I followed the instructions/ingredients exactly and this mix was a little too tart. I added 2 tablespoons of agave nectar to get sweeten it up like you mentioned. Maybe sweet fruit would have helped? Delicious and creamy and froze well. I added chopped basil to a few and those were extra yummy! Made about 10 pops using little silicone molds.

We love tart desserts, but another option would be to use Meyer Lemons which are sweeter than regular lemons. 🙂 Also our vanilla yogurt has sugar added which is why we don’t really add the sugar, but sometimes if you’re craving something sweet more sugar helps. The basil addition sounds heavenly!! Great idea 🙂

These look so good! I love that turmeric is the source of coloring! This would be fun to make with kids!

This is a simple and wonderful recipe. Took ours longer than 4 hours to set, but once it did-so delicious, kids love them! We added maple syrup and vanilla and used plain yogurt. Came out great.

These look amazing. Can we replace the milk and yogurt? Maybe with coconut cream? We are dairy free

Absolutely, we love Oui for vegan yogurt.

So I liked it but it turns out that the picture looks a lot different from what mine looks like. Maybe it’s because I’m a bad cook. I don’t know but they still are awesome 💯 definitely a 10/10

Hi. Planning to make these over the weekend. Was just wondering, will the milk not get curdled when mixed with lemon juice?

You want to stir really well 🙂 The yogurt helps it come together.
