The Lab: DIY Plastic-Free Popsicle Molds
Aug 23, 2020A Commune summer conundrum: We really wanted popsicles, but didn’t want to order a plastic set of popsicle molds.
Fortunately, the solution turned out to be simple:
-
Find some appropriately small and tall containers (our stainless steel water cups worked perfectly)
-
Fill with blended concoction of choice (in our case, leftover homemade applesauce and coconut yogurt a bit past its expiration date)
-
Cover tightly with aluminum foil (this bit is also reusable!) and poke a tiny hole for the popsicle stick or whatever seems like it might work (we cut and repurposed some barbecue skewers). This is the magic step that keeps the stick upright...
-
Freeze, then thaw a bit to release the popsicle!
P.S. There's also a loaf-pan method similar to this.
