How long does it take for popsicles to freeze?

Once you have the fruit filled in the popsicle molds, it will take 6-8 hours for the popsicles to freeze completely all the way. You do not want to try and remove them before this time as it will likely break apart and melt very quickly as well.

Not only do these popsicles made with real fruit taste amazing, but they’re a good source of vitamin C as well. Vitamins depend on what fruits you choose of course but using fresh or frozen berries means that it is in tact without any heat required.

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. Dried fruit isn’t going to chop up completely, and will little little bits of fruit in the popsicles. Of course, if that is what you are going for texture-wise, then adding that might be a good idea.
