How to Make Tie-Dye Popsicles
Prep: Grease and line the loaf pan with plastic wrap. Blend: Puree each layer individually in order to keep the colors separate and bright. Use individual bowls for each layer, or use one bowl and rinse it between batches.
Assemble: Spoon each completed puree randomly into the prepared pan. Once all of the mixtures are added, use a thin knife to make a wide zig-zag pattern through the layers. Cover with foil, make slits for popsicle sticks, and insert sticks.
Freeze: Freeze for a minimum of 8 hours, until frozen solid. Remove from pan: Lift plastic wrap to pull the entire popsicle out of the pan. Use a sharp knife to cut into individual popsicles.
How to Store Tie-Dye Popsicles?
The best way to store Tie-Dye popsicles is to wrap popsicles with ring wrap and store them in the freezer for up to 1 week.
How can I make All-Natural Tie-Dye Popsicles dairy-free? If you want to avoid dairy, you can use a dairy-free yogurt like a coconut or nut milk-based yogurt. How do I get the best tie-dye effect?
Carefully use a big spoon to ladle the puree mixtures into the pan. For best results, do not pour the mixture into the pan or spoon them from high up. Taking your time will keep the different color purees separate until you swirl them.
How do I remove the popsicles from the mold without breaking them? Run the mold under water, and they pop right out.
Gemma’s Pro Tips for Making All-Natural Tie-Dye Popsicles:
Try to use as little water as possible when pureeing the layers so you don’t dilute the fruit flavors. If you are having a hard time blending, try lightly defrosting the fruit in the microwave, but don’t completely defrost. The colder the purees are, the better the colors will stay separate and the more beautiful your popsicles will be. Remember to gently lay the colors on top of each other to keep them from sinking and over-blending. If you want more vibrant colors, use a few drops of food coloring per layer. If you want to make this dairy-free, replace the yogurt with coconut milk.
