Ingredients

1 container Simply Lemonade (or your favorite lemonade)
1 cup strawberries, diced
1 tablespoon sugar (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Add the diced strawberries to a small bowl and sprinkle with sugar. Mix gently and let sit for about 5–10 minutes until juices begin to form. You can lightly mash some strawberries if you prefer smaller pieces or keep them mostly whole for a chunkier texture.
Step 2: Spoon the strawberry mixture evenly into your popsicle molds.
Step 3: Pour lemonade over the strawberry mixture in the molds, leaving a little space at the top for expansion.
Step 4: Place the lids on the molds and insert the popsicle sticks. Freeze until solid, typically several hours or overnight.

Tips & Variations

If you prefer strawberries evenly distributed throughout the popsicle, gently stir the mixture during the first hour of freezing. Otherwise, the strawberries may settle at the bottom, which adds a fun pop of fruit at the end.
Swap sugar for honey if you prefer a natural sweetener.
Use thawed frozen strawberries if fresh ones are not available.
You can make your own homemade lemonade for a fresher flavor, but using store-bought lemonade keeps this recipe super quick and easy.

Storage

Store the popsicles in the freezer in their molds or in an airtight container once removed. They will keep well for up to 1 month. To enjoy, remove from the freezer about 5 minutes before eating to soften slightly for easier biting.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh?

Yes, thawed frozen strawberries work well in this recipe if fresh strawberries aren’t available. Just make sure to drain any excess liquid before mixing with sugar.

Do I have to add sugar?

No, sugar is optional. Adding sugar enhances the sweetness slightly, but if you prefer a more tart popsicle or are using sweet lemonade, you can skip the sugar altogether.

Ingredients

Scale

Strawberry Mixture

1 cup strawberries, diced
1 tablespoon sugar (optional)

Liquid

1 container Simply Lemonade (or any preferred lemonade)

Instructions

Prepare Strawberries: Add diced strawberries to a small bowl, sprinkle sugar over them, and mix well. Let the mixture sit for about 5-10 minutes until the juices begin to form. Lightly mash a few strawberries if you prefer some puree, or keep them mostly whole for chunks in the popsicles.
Fill Popsicle Mold: Evenly spoon the strawberry mixture into the popsicle molds until all the mixture is used.
Add Lemonade: Pour lemonade over the strawberry mixture into the molds, leaving a small space at the top to allow for expansion during freezing.
Insert Sticks and Freeze: Place the lids on the popsicle molds, insert the popsicle sticks, and freeze the molds until solid, typically several hours or overnight.
Optional Stirring Note: Some strawberries may float to the bottom during freezing. For evenly distributed strawberries, gently stir the molds midway through freezing as the mixture begins to solidify, although this step is optional and the layered effect can be enjoyed as is.

Notes

Sugar is optional and can be substituted with honey for a natural sweetener.
Frozen strawberries can be used after thawing if fresh strawberries are not available.
To ensure strawberries are evenly distributed throughout the popsicle, stir gently during freezing.
Leaving a bit of space in the mold is important to allow the popsicles to expand while freezing.
This recipe yields about 10 popsicles depending on the size of your mold.
