Summer is here and nothing beats the heat like a refreshing Truly Ice Pops. But instead of buying the store-bought ones that are loaded with sugar, artificial flavors, and colors, why not make your own with fresh fruit and natural ingredients? Homemade Ice Pops are easy to make, healthy, delicious, and fun. You can customize them with your favorite fruits and flavors, and enjoy them as a snack, dessert, or even breakfast. In this blog post, I will show you how to make homemade ice pops with fresh fruit in four simple steps.
Homemade Truly Ice Pops with Fresh Fruit: Step By Step
Step 1: Choose your fruit
The first step is to choose your fruit. You can use any fruit that you like or have on hand, such as berries, melons, peaches, mangoes, bananas, kiwis, pineapples, etc. You can also mix and match different fruits to create interesting combinations.
For example, you can make Strawberry-Banana Ice Pops, Peach-Mango Ice Pops, or Pineapple-Coconut Ice Pops. The fruit can be fresh or frozen, but if you use frozen fruit, make sure to thaw it first for better blending.
Step 2: Blend your ingredients
The second step is to blend your ingredients. You will need a blender or a food processor to puree the fruit until smooth.
You can also add some liquid to help the blending process and adjust the consistency of the mixture.
You can use water, juice, tea, lemonade, or coconut water as the liquid. You can also add some sweetener if you want to make your Ice Pops sweeter. You can use honey, maple syrup, agave nectar, or any natural sweetener that you prefer.
You can also add some lemon juice to enhance the flavor and prevent the browning of the fruit.

Step 3: Pour into Molds
The third step is to pour the mixture into molds. You can use any Ice Pops molds that you have or buy online or in stores. You can also use small plastic cups or yogurt containers as molds.
Just make sure to leave some space at the top for expansion. You can also add some chunks of fruit to the molds if you want some texture and bite in your ice pops.
For example, you can add some blueberries to blueberry ice pops, some diced peaches to peach ice pops, or some shredded coconut to coconut ice pops.
Step 4: Freeze and enjoy
The final step is to freeze and enjoy your Truly Ice Pops. You will need to insert some sticks into the molds before freezing them. You can use wooden popsicle sticks, plastic spoons, or even chopsticks as sticks.
Just make sure they are long enough to hold the ice pops. Then place the molds in the freezer for at least 6 hours or overnight until they are completely frozen.
To remove the Ice Pops from the molds, run them under warm water for a few seconds and gently pull them out. Enjoy your Homemade Truly Ice Pops as a refreshing treat on a hot summer day.
