FAQ
In the freezer and if stored properly in an airtight freezer bag, creamy homemade strawberry popsicles last in the freezer 6-8 months.
The secret to soft popsicles is Greek yogurt, yogurt, milk, and / or cream! Greek yogurt makes this strawberry popsicle recipe extra creamy with valuable protein for nourishment. Using water or juice will make popsicles harder and dairy helps to make them soft.
Popsicles take anywhere from 4-6 hours to harden and freeze completely. Some make take less time and if you use frozen fruit it already starts the freezing process since the ice pop is already slightly frozen.
