Make water ice yourself: These tips will help

  • Warm water for faster mold release: Before consuming, hold the water ice mold under warm water for about a minute. In this way, the self-made popsicles can easily be removed from the container.
  • Yogurt cups as containers: If you don’t have a water ice mold at hand, you can also use empty yogurt or cream cups. Important: After about an hour in the freezer, insert a wooden stick into the ice.
  • Remove the pits from berries: If you use berries, you should remove the pits first. Simply press the pureed fruit through a sieve.
  • Whole fruits for more aroma and as an eye-catcher: For a more intense taste and also for the eye, you can put some fruits directly into the mold and pour the fruit cream over them.
  • Do not refreeze water ice: If the ice has already thawed, it must not be refrozen.
  • Use honey instead of sugar: To make the popsicle healthier, try using honey or another alternative sweetener.
