The best part about making your own sugar-free popsicles is the endless variety of flavours you can create. From fruity combinations like strawberry-lime or tropical mango-pineapple to creamy options like coconut or chocolate, the possibilities are endless. You have full control over the ingredients, allowing you to customize the popsicles to your taste preferences and dietary needs.
To make sugar-free popsicles, you’ll need popsicle moulds, zero-calorie sweetener (such as stevia or erythritol), your choice of fruit or other flavours, and a liquid base (such as water, unsweetened almond milk, or coconut milk). Feel free to add additional mix-ins like chopped fruit, herbs, or extracts for extra flavour and texture.
Preparing these popsicles is a breeze. Start by blending or mashing your chosen fruits until smooth. Add the zero-calorie sweetener and liquid base, and mix until well combined. Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness if needed.
Pour the mixture into popsicle moulds and insert popsicle sticks. Freeze the moulds for at least 4-6 hours, or until the popsicles are completely frozen.
Once frozen, remove the popsicles from the moulds by running them under warm water for a few seconds. Enjoy your homemade sugar-free popsicles immediately or store them in a freezer bag or container for later enjoyment.
Note: Remember to calculate the calories based on the specific ingredients used in your recipe. Sugar-free popsicles are a great way to indulge in a sweet treat without the added sugar. They are perfect for kids and adults alike, and you can experiment with different flavour combinations to keep things interesting.
