How Long To Freeze Popsicles?
Homemade popsicles usually take about 6-8 hours to freeze completely, but I like to make them the day before so that I am 100% sure they will be ready when I need them.
How To Unmold Frozen Popsicles?
Once the popsicles are made and in the freezer, the next question is how to I get the popsicles out of the mold. While it is super simple, there is a trick that makes it even easier. Once the popsicles are frozen, run hot water on the popsicle mold for a few seconds, but make sure that the water does not get into the mold and touch the popsicles. Gently pull on the stick and the popsicle should slide right out. This process can be repeated if it doesn't come out easily the first time, just be sure you don't completely melt the popsicle!
