How to Make Patriotic Popsicles
Red white and blue patriotic popsicles are easy to make and perfect for summer.
Step 1: Make the Base
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Divide the whipped cream evenly into three separate bowls.
Step 2: Coloring
Leave the first portion plain – this will be your white layer.
In the second portion, stir in a few drops of blue food coloring and the vanilla stevia until the color is evenly distributed.
In the third portion, fold in the blended or finely chopped strawberries along with the berry stevia for a naturally sweet red layer.
Step 3: Start Layering Into Popsicle Molds
First, pour in the blue cream layer. Tap the molds gently to level it. Freeze for 20 minutes to set.
Next, add the plain white cream. Again, freeze for 20 minutes.
Finally, add the strawberry mixture as the top red layer.
Step 4: Freeze
Insert popsicle sticks and place the molds in the freezer for at least 4–6 hours, or until completely frozen.
To release the popsicles, run the molds under warm water for a few seconds.
Tips for Making Red White and Blue Popsicles
One of the most important things to do is to make sure the popsicles have enough time to set when you put the layers in. Putting them in the freezer after each layer helps it set so that you get the perfect design.
Storing
Keep the red white and blue popsicles in the freezer. You can leave them in the popsicle molds and take them out and store in an airtight or freezer friendly sealed bag.
