Instructions
Preparation
- Select Colors: Choose a variety of colorful fruit juices. Aim for shades like red, orange, green, and blue.
- Taste and Mix: Pour each juice into separate bowls, taste them, and adjust the sweetness with honey or sugar if needed.
Layering
- Pour the first juice into the bottom of the popsicle mold, filling it about a third of the way.
- Place the molds in the freezer for about 30-60 minutes until the first layer is solid.
Add More Layers
- Once the first layer is set, add the second juice on top. Repeat this process, freezing between each layer until the molds are full.
- After adding all layers, freeze the popsicles for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely solid.
Unmolding
- Let the popsicle molds sit at room temperature for a couple of minutes for easier removal.
- Carefully pull them out, and enjoy your vibrant, colorful rainbow popsicles!
Notes
You can use fruit purees instead of juices for a thicker texture. Add small pieces of fruit, yogurt, or cream between layers for extra flavor. For a healthier alternative, consider different sweeteners like agave syrup or stevia.
