Switch to Desktop/Mobile View

Cooling off in the heat of summer is fun with these easy frozen treats. Whether it’s flavored soft drink mix, juice, or even yogurt or pudding, you can have a blast experimenting with different flavors and colors. Using just simple popsicle molds you can let your creativity run wild!

What you will need:

•Popsicle molds
•Juice, soft drink mix (non-carbonated), yogurt, or pudding

Instructions for the project-Carefully pour liquid into mold. Fill only as far as you want the first layer. Do not insert the mold handles. Freeze. When the first layer is frozen, add the second layer of liquid. Insert the mold handles and freeze again. Remove from freezer and take out the handles. Fill with remaining liquid and put the mold handles back in. Freeze. Remove finished Popsicles from the freezer and run the molds under warm water to loosen. Popsicles should slide out.

Tips:You can add drops of food coloring to plain or vanilla yogurt to make fun layered frozen yogurt pops. Mix the yogurt and food coloring in a separate bowl and then add to the molds. Pudding also freezes well. Layer different flavors and colors for a fun effect.
