Homemade Fruit Popsicles Recipe

ByJeannette Jaeger February 24, 2026February 24, 2026

Introduction

Homemade popsicles are a refreshing and healthy treat, perfect for warm days or any time you crave a fruity snack. Using fresh fruit and natural sweeteners, you can create delicious frozen treats tailored to your taste.

Several colorful popsicles lie scattered on a white marbled surface, each with a smooth, slightly shiny texture. There are nine popsicles in total, with three green ones speckled with small black seeds, giving a kiwi fruit look. The bright yellow and vibrant orange popsicles have a solid color and a slightly frosty surface. Deep red and purple popsicles show tiny dark specks inside, suggesting berry flavors. All the popsicles have wooden sticks, with one yellow popsicle at the top left corner showing a small bite taken out. The popsicles are arranged casually with some overlapping, creating a lively and fresh summer feel. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

2 cups chopped strawberries
1 cup coconut water
2 Tbsp honey
1 cup chopped orange flesh
1 cup chopped carrots
1 cup orange juice
2 Tbsp honey
1 cup chopped pineapple
1 cup chopped mango
1 cup coconut water
2 Tbsp honey
2 cups chopped kiwi (about 4 kiwis, peeled)
1 cup coconut water
2 to 4 Tbsp sugar
2 cups blueberries
1 cup full-fat vanilla yogurt
2 Tbsp honey

Instructions

Step 1: Choose your desired flavor combination from the ingredient list and add all corresponding ingredients into a blender. Blend until smooth, or blend less for popsicles with a chunkier fruit texture.
Step 2: Pour the blended mixture into popsicle molds, insert sticks, and place them in the freezer. Freeze until completely hard, which usually takes at least 4 hours.
Step 3: To unmold, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds to loosen the popsicles, then carefully remove them from the molds.

Tips & Variations

For creamier popsicles, add yogurt or coconut milk to the fruit mixture before blending.
Customize sweetness by adjusting honey or sugar amounts according to the ripeness of your fruit.
Try mixing different fruits together for unique flavor combinations like strawberry-mango or blueberry-kiwi.
If you prefer a smoother texture, strain the blended mixture before freezing to remove pulp or seeds.

Storage

Store popsicles in an airtight container or tightly covered popsicle molds in the freezer. They will keep well for up to 2 weeks. To enjoy, simply remove from the freezer and wait a few minutes at room temperature before eating for easier handling.

How to Serve

Five colorful popsicles are lined up horizontally in the center on a white marbled surface. From left to right, the first is red and smooth, the second is bright orange and smooth, the third is bright yellow and smooth, the fourth is light green with small black seeds visible inside, and the fifth is purple with small dark specks throughout. Around the popsicles, fresh fruits are scattered: sliced and whole strawberries on the left, orange slices and halves near the top left and bottom left, diced mango cubes in a half shell below the yellow popsicle, whole and halved kiwis near the top and bottom right, and a cluster of blueberries on the top right and bottom right corners.

FAQs

Can I use frozen fruit instead of fresh?

Yes, frozen fruit works well and can save time. Just thaw slightly before blending for easier processing.

How do I prevent popsicles from being too icy?

Adding natural sweeteners like honey or yogurt helps create a smoother texture by lowering the freezing point and reducing ice crystals.
