Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: -
Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 popsicles
Ingredients
- 2 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced
- 1 cup lemonade
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients. Rinse the ripe peaches under cool water to remove any dirt or residues. Cut the peaches in half, remove the pits, and slice them into smaller pieces for easier blending.
- In a blender, combine the sliced peaches and 1 cup of lemonade. If you prefer a sweeter popsicle, add 1 tablespoon of honey to the mixture. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Once blended, taste the mixture to check for sweetness. If you desire a sweeter flavor, feel free to add more honey to your liking and blend again until fully incorporated.
- Prepare your popsicle molds by ensuring they are clean and dry. If you don't have popsicle molds, you can use small paper cups or ice cube trays as an alternative.
- Pour the peach and lemonade mixture into the popsicle molds, filling them about three-quarters full to allow for expansion as they freeze.
- If desired, you can insert sticks into the molds at this point. If using paper cups, simply place a wooden stick in the center of each cup.
- Carefully transfer the filled molds to the freezer. Allow the popsicles to freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until they are completely solid.
- Once the popsicles are fully frozen, remove them from the molds. If they are difficult to release, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds to help loosen them.
- Serve your Healthy Peach Lemonade Popsicles immediately and enjoy a refreshing treat!
Tips
- Choose the Right Peaches: For the best flavor, select ripe, juicy peaches. Look for peaches that yield slightly to pressure and have a sweet aroma.
- Customize Your Sweetness: Adjust the amount of honey based on your taste preferences. If your peaches are particularly sweet, you might not need any additional sweetness at all!
- Blend Smoothly: Ensure the peach and lemonade mixture is blended until completely smooth for a creamy texture. If you prefer a bit of texture, you can leave some small peach chunks.
- Experiment with Molds: If you don’t have popsicle molds, use small paper cups or ice cube trays. Just make sure to insert the sticks once the mixture has started to freeze slightly to keep them upright.
- Quick Release: If your popsicles are stuck in the molds, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds. This will help them slide out easily without losing their shape.
- Store Properly: To keep your popsicles fresh and prevent freezer burn, store them in an airtight container or wrap them in plastic wrap after removing from the molds.
- Add a Twist: For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a splash of mint or basil before blending for a refreshing herbal note.Enjoy making your Healthy Peach Lemonade Popsicles and savor every delicious bite!
