How to make homemade popsicles softer? ›

Greek yogurt or full-fat coconut milk can help homemade popsicles stay soft. It can also help to let them sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving so they soften slightly.

If you include yogurt, milk, or heavy cream in your homemade popsicles, adding a little cornstarch to the mix might be precisely what you need to keep the consistency just right.

"If it's a pop made with fruit, it's probably lower in calories and saturated fat content than ice cream or sherbet, and it could offer a satisfying frosty treat in warm weather," says Bonnie Taub-Dix, RDN, creator of BetterThanDieting.com, author of Read It Before You Eat It – Taking You from Label to Table.

For Non-Icy Popsicles, use Pectin! I've discovered that the trick to keep fresh fruit popsicles from getting overly icy and hard is an ingredient I use quite regularly in canning and jam recipes, but had yet to explore in freezer situations: pectin.

Sugar: it's more than just a sweetener

In addition to making your ice cream sweet, sugar affects its texture, enhancing creaminess and controlling how hard or soft it is.

Sugar, dairy, cornstarch, gelatin, pectin, and alcohol all help keep ice crystal formation small, which makes for a softer texture.

Liquid sugars like invert sugar, corn syrup, honey, and glucose syrup all add body, creaminess, and stability to ice cream, and a little goes a long way.

When there are more solids and therefore less free water, the mixture looks thicker. This is because it contains less water that's able to move about unhindered. So, remember: more solids means less free water. And less free water means smaller ice crystals and less icy ice cream!

The liquid you're making pops with contains alcohol or if it's too high in fat, oil or sugar. The liquid you're making pops with is too soft or has too many solids. For example, if you made a chocolate pop from cocoa and used too high of a cocoa to water ratio, your pop may not freeze.

Unfortunately, the sugar-induced energy surge you get from a popsicle will probably be short-lived. "Eating a popsicle daily, especially those high in added sugars, can contribute to excessive sugar intake, potentially affecting blood sugar levels and leading to energy spikes and crashes," says Dr. Chris Mohr, RD, Ph.

Re-Seal the Top: The trick to sealing without squirting popsicle mixture all over your vacuum sealer is to pull the corners of your string of popsicle tubes and bending the top over 90 degrees. By pulling the corers taut, it will push the mixture back down inside without you having to worry about keeping it inside.

The Secret Ingredient for Store-Like Fruity Popsicles

Corn syrup helps prevent large ice crystals from forming, resulting in a smoother texture.

So to do this your going to need a container of water and of course popsicle sticks, so first put the sticks in the water and let soak for about 12-24 hours then when you pull them out you should be able to bend them further.

We noticed a clear difference between ice cream softened on the counter (left) and ice cream softened in the fridge (right). But softening a pint of ice cream in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes brought the temperature to around 8 degrees throughout, allowing us to scoop perfect balls.

Once you have filled the molds, insert a popsicle stick into the tops and then place it in the freezer to harden. It usually takes about 4 hours for the popsicles to freeze completely (it may be a little more or a little less depending on your particular freezer).
