How do you make homemade ice cream lollies?
We could not exactly call this a recipe, as you will only need the fruit you prefer, a little water or milk and a mold. However, we give you some recommendations so that you can get the best out of these wonderful alternatives.
Colored polo shirts
One of the funniest qualities of polo shirts is their shape, kids love them. So, find creative molds and experiment with blends of different colored juices .
To make different colored popsicles, you must squeeze different fruits. If you are going to use fruits that are not squeezed, chop them into pieces and liquefy them with a little milk or water. Do not forget to add sugar or some sweetener to your recipe and strain well (although there are people who enjoy the pieces of pulp in the popsicles).
In case you do not like too strong flavors, you can add a little water to the juices to reduce the flavor.
When you have your juices or juices ready, and depending on the amount of colors you are going to use, fill a part of the mold with the juice that will go in the tip. Then, put it in the freezer, put a popsicle stick in it, and wait for it to harden.
When it is hard, add the next juice. Repeat the procedure until you have all the colors incorporated, let everything freeze and you’re done. Easier, impossible!
Chocolate covered popsicles
With chocolate you have two options: you prepare the lolly using this ingredient or you use it to cover it. If you take the second alternative, prepare a lolly of the flavor you prefer, although we recommend those to which you can add milk or yogurt.
Once they are completely frozen , melt some of the chocolate and let it cool for a few minutes. When the chocolate has reached an ideal temperature so as not to melt the ice cream, we remove them from the fridge, unmold and immerse it in the chocolate for a second.
Because the latter is not that hot and the lolly is icy, it will quickly solidify and form a beautiful, as well as rich, outer layer.
Creamy popsicles
To obtain creamy popsicles, you must use ingredients that have this characteristic. You can use yogurt or make fruit juices and add cream and sugar to them ; Remember to stir generously to give the cream more texture.
Some people add to them egg white brought to the point of snow. Of course, this will depend exclusively on the preferences of each person.
Classes of molds
As we mentioned earlier, the funniest thing about polo shirts is their shapes; in the market you will find thousands of different molds. Among the forms that stand out the most are the traditional ones, those that have the shapes of animals, umbrellas or stars.
You already know: stop by a supermarket and find everything you need for these fun and delicious recipes for homemade ice cream lollies. If you find a specialized store it would be ten times better; you will have a huge amount of options to choose from and surprise your family.
