Common Questions
- → How come my pops won’t come out?
Hold the molds under warm running water for half a minute. Be gentle and give them a sec to loosen up.
- → Could I try different fruit?
Absolutely, toss in blueberries or raspberries too. Just smash or blend them really well.
- → What’s with the bumpy mix?
Let the cream cheese completely soften, then whip it until there’s zero lumps before tossing in anything else.
- → How long do they last in the freezer?
Stick ’em in a tight-sealed container and they’ll be good for 2 weeks. Wrap each one so they don’t dry out.
- → Don’t have popsicle molds?
Sure thing, grab little paper cups instead. Pop the sticks in once the mix starts to set up in the freezer.
