Popsicle. The word itself evokes
memories of childhood, of the intense
summer heat, and of the sticky, sweet
drops of flavor that would always end
up all over your hands. With popsicles
not only enjoyed by the young, but
equally favored by the young at heart,
it’s no wonder each year billions of
popsicles are enjoyed and consumed by
people all over the world. The popsicle
has not only become a cultural icon that
spans generations, but has also built a
multi-billion dollar industry. So, how
did the frozen, flavored, yummy ice end
up as one of the world’s most beloved
summer treats? It was all started over
100 years ago by none other than a child.
Believe it or not, popsicles were not
only invented by an 11-year-old boy, but
were also created completely by
accident. In 1905, 11-year-old Frank
Epperson of San Francisco left a mixture
of powdered soda, water, and a stirring
stick in a cup outside one night, and as
the night grew cold, the mixture froze
solid. When Frank awoke the next
morning, he found the frozen ice and,
like any 11-year-old would do, he ate it.
The original name for his invention was
the “Eppsicle”, but after he got older and
started to make them for his own
children, they began calling them “Pop’s
‘sicle”. So, in 1923 he changed the name
of his frozen treat and applied for a
patent, which he later sold to the Joe
Lowe Company in New York, and after
that the Popsicle gained popularity very
quickly, and sold at only a nickel each.

Since the popularity of popsicles


skyrocketed, it eventually became a
household name all across the country.
While Popsicle is technically a brand
name for ice pops sold in the US and
Canada particularly, it has become a
generic trademark. This means that the
brand name has become so popular that
it is synonymous with the actual product
being sold. In fact, the popularity of
popsicles was so big that it influenced
the first ice cream man. In Nebraska, a
man began selling popsicles from a
horse-drawn cart to children, which
inspired others to do the same around the
country. The Popsicle began to represent
American culture so much so that the
Eighth Air Force Unit during World War
II chose Popsicles as a symbol of
American life.

While the Popsicle originally came in


seven flavors, there are now countless
different flavor combinations sold in
stores. Popsicles have evolved through
the years from their original flavors of
root beer, cherry, lemon, orange, banana,
grape, and watermelon, to a huge variety
of frozen treats that now include sugar
free Popsicles, multi-colored Popsicles
and milk based Popsicles such as the
Fudgsicle and the Creamsicle. They
have also come alive with many
celebrated faces such as Snoopy,
Spiderman, and The Incredible Hulk to
create unique treats that children adore.
However, thinking beyond the Popsicles
sold in stores or in trucks, the potential
of flavors is now infinite, with so many
possibilities especially when you can
easily make your own popsicles at
home. Popsicles are one of the easiest at
home summer treats to make. The
process is not only fun for every age, but
only takes around 2-3 hours depending
on your freezer.
Rather than spending money on each
Popsicle box in the freezer aisle of your
store, or every time you hear the tune of
the ice cream truck, Popsicles can be
made easily for less than pennies a day
with things that are already lying around
your house. At any home goods store, or
dollar store for that matter, you can
purchase plastic Popsicle molds that
already include a stick, and come in all
shapes, colors and sizes.

If you know you will be making a lot of


Popsicles during the summer months,
investing in a mold may save you some
effort and will pay for itself in no time.
However, buying molds is definitely not
necessary for Popsicle making. Almost
any cup will suffice for molding a
Popsicle. These options include plastic
drinking cups, paper cups, empty yogurt
containers, muffin trays, ice cube trays
etc. Popsicles can be made using
anything solid that has shape and is safe
to put in the freezer. You can even pour
your Popsicle mixes into a loaf pan and
use a knife to slice up each pop!
Of course another essential object used
to make Popsicles is Popsicle sticks.
These wooden sticks can be found at any
local craft store, and are the perfect size
and shape. Popsicle sticks usually come
in bulk, so one purchase can last a very
long time. However, if you don’t have
any Popsicle sticks, straws and spoons
will work as well. If you want to make
mini Popsicles in ice cube trays, you
could also use tooth picks, which will
work perfectly.

After you gather everything you need to


make your own delicious Popsicles, you
may want to grab some extra things that
you might need just in case. When the
Popsicle mix is still a liquid, if you
aren’t using a mold it may be hard to get
the Popsicle stick to stand straight up in
the middle of the cup. This is easily
fixed using Aluminum foil or plastic
wrap. Simply wrap the foil or wrap
around the cup when you are finished,
and cut only a small hole in the middle
for the stick to stand upright. This will
stop the Popsicle stick from moving
during the freezing process.
Last but not least, you of course need a
freezer and some space to allow your
Popsicles to set without them being
moved or disturbed while they are
freezing. Once you have all the
ingredients and supplies you need,
you’re one step closer to making a
delicious homemade Popsicle; the
perfect, refreshing treat for a hot summer
night.

So browse the recipes in this book, and


start making your own homemade
popsicles today!

Ingredients:
2 cups long grain white rice

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Cheesecloth or mesh filter
Ice pop molds

Directions:
In a large bowl, combine the rice and
two cups water.
Let the mixture sit overnight. (It’s not

The next day, blend the rice and water
thoroughly in a blender until smooth.
Strain the rice water through cheesecloth
placed inside a fine colander or sieve.
Use a spoon to coax the liquid through
the mesh.
While the liquid is draining, make a
quick simple syrup.
Combine the sugar with the remaining
three tablespoons of water.
You can warm it quickly in the
microwave or simmer until just
dissolved in a small saucepan.
Once the rice water has drained,
combine it with the simple syrup, ground
cinnamon and Greek yogurt. You’ll want
to blend this thoroughly, so that
everything emulsifies nicely and the
cinnamon and yogurt don’t separate
while freezing.
Pour the horchata mixture into your ice
pop molds.
Freeze for about six hours, before
enjoying cold.

processor or blender and blend until
smooth and creamy.

you can easily pull the popsicles out.

Vanilla Cherry Yogurt Pops


Ingredients:
2 cups plain Greek yogurt
3/4 cups vanilla sugar, divided
8 ounces frozen sour cherries, defrosted,
plus more cherries (20-30) for garnish

Stir to dissolve the sugar completely.
Divide the mixture in half between two
bowls, set aside.
Puree the cherries with 1/4 cup of the
sugar and any collected juices from
defrosting.
Press the cherry puree through a fine
mesh sieve, pressing hard to extract as
much as possible - discard solids left
behind.
Stir the cherry puree into one of the
bowl of yogurt–leaving the other plain.
Fill the pop molds 1/3 full with the
cherry-yogurt mixture.
Freeze for 30-60 minutes or until the
layer begins to set, before adding the
vanilla layer.
In the vanilla layer, drop in 2-3 whole
cherries reserved for garnish.
Freeze the vanilla layer 30 minutes.
Fill the pop molds with the final cherry-
yogurt layer, add sticks, and freeze until
solid–8 or more hours.

2 Cups unsweetened coconut milk,
halved
3 Tbsp maple syrup
1 Cup Orange juice, freshly squeezed if

Directions:
Sweeten one cup of the coconut milk
with the 3 Tbsp maple syrup, and mix

Pour the sweetened milk into the bottom
of the popsicle mold, about 1/3 of the
way.
Add sliced strawberries, zest or toasted
coconut.
Place the sticks in and lid on top.
Freeze until solid.
Gently lift the lid while leaving the
popsicle sticks embedded in the
creamsicle.
Combine the juice of the lime with the
orange juice, and pour into the molds to
fill remaining 2/3 of the container.
Freeze again.
Repeat step 2 by pouring the
unsweetened coconut milk into the top
1/3 remaining space.
Freeze a third time.
When frozen through, run under slightly
warm water for a few seconds to loosen
the pops.

on top of the yogurt.
Add the popsicle sticks.

Indian Iced Coffee Pops
