3. Freeze – Put the popsicle molds in the freezer for up to 8 hours.

A blender will work just as well for sure. If using frozen berries it will take a bit longer and you will need to ensure your blades are nice and sharp but either machine works well to get to a smooth mixture. Just throw it all in and pulse until smooth to your liking.

Can I use dried fruit to make popsicles?

I don’t recommend using anything other than fresh fruit, or frozen fruit, so that the fruits blend well and chop up well with the blender.

Of course, if that is what you are going for texture-wise, then adding that might be a good idea.
