Keep the kids cool this summer with delicious homemade popsicle recipes! Easy popsicles kids (+moms) love! Fruity, chocolatey, or creamy. They're oh, so dreamy.
There isn't any kid who doesn't love a tasty, cool popsicle on a hot summer day.
We have a family summertime tradition of homemade popsicles every Thursday night. We choose different flavors to make in our Zoku Quick Pop Maker, which freezes popsicles in about 7 minutes!
Seriously, the Zoku is one of the best inventions. Kids have no patience, especially when popsicles are involved. How great is it that there's no waiting for these popsicles to freeze! Brilliant! This gadget is truly one of our most used kitchen items during the summer.
These Homemade Popsicles are contenders this year for popsicle night, but some of them are sooo good maybe mom will indulge, too!
We like these recipes because they are made with fresh ingredients, like fruit, so there's less sugar than store-bought varieties.
Here's what to do if you don't have a popsicle mold.

I know! Not only do these popsicle recipes tasty yummy, they are super cute as well. Not to mention refreshing! I love that some are so healthy they can be served on a summer morning to start the day cool and refreshed!
Nikki Frank-Hamilton says
Erin, holy cow! I'm thinking that I need someone to tell me which one we should make first, cause I can't choose! They all look so pretty and delish. We do have Popsicle molds and we haven't used them forever. It's time to wash the dust off them and put 'em to work. SSShhh...don't tell anyone, I don't have small children at home, these will be a treat for Bruce and I. LOL
Erin says
That's totally ok, Nikki! Who needs kids to have popsicles? You just have to be a kid at heart. They're such a low calorie way to keep cool. Lick away my friend!
Celeste says
Yum, yum! All of these look so good and just right for hot days in the sun.
Erin says
I know! Just perfect! popsicles definitely say summertime fun! So many super yummy flavors to choose from!
Linda at Mixed Kreations says
Yum, they all look delicious. I bought some Popsicle molds recent and made some fruit Popsicles but would like to try making some chocolate Popsicles next.
Erin says
We tried a chocolate one last year, the kids loved it! I like that you can customize popsicles with whatever flavor you're in the mood for!
Jessica says
Yum! I just bought some popsicle molds a few weeks ago, so I have been looking for more recipes to try. 😉 These look perfect for my kiddos!
Erin says
Perfect! These should do the trick! Popsicles are so easy to make and you can put a little healthy fruit in them, which only makes them better. Let me know your favorite!
