Easy Jello Popsicles
How to make homemade Popsicles without a Popsicle mold:
I have a 3 popsicle molds floating around my home. The thing is, I can almost never find them when I need them.
We are big fans of the Dixie cup method when I cannot find my favorite mold.
- Pour your pops straight into a Dixie cup.
- Freeze 20 minutes.
- Add a popsicle stick and freeze solid.
*Note: Use a baking tray or large plate to keep all of your cups from falling in the freezer.
Other options to help you make Popsicles without a mold:
Muffin Tins
Ice cube trays
Clean Yogurt Containers
How to get Popsicles out of the mold easily:
- Fill a container with hot water. You want at least enough to cover to the top of your mold without leaking over onto your pop.
- Dip your mold into the hot water for 20 seconds.
- Slide out your homemade Popsicle and enjoy!

The Jello added into the recipe makes these melt a little slower which is especially nice on hotter days. So the only question you really have left to ask is what flavor you are going to start with?!
