FAQ
Can I use fresh berries instead of frozen?
Yes, but add ice cubes when blending to achieve proper thickness and help popsicles freeze properly.
How long do these keep in the freezer?
Store in sealed bags for up to 2 months, though they taste best within 1 month for optimal texture.
What if I don't have popsicle molds?
Use small paper cups with wooden sticks, or ice cube trays for mini versions.
