How to unmold an ice pop (popsicle)?
The easy way to unmold a popsicle is to either set you popsicle molds in a pan of warm water for a few seconds or run the popsicles molds under hot water for 10 to 15. Be careful to not get the popsicle itself wet. Sometimes, you will get one that is difficult to remove and this one will just need to be run under the warm water for a little longer.
How long does it take for an ice pop (popsicle) to harden?
At least 6-8 hours or it is best if left over night.
How long can you keep ice pops (popsicles) in the freezer?
6-8 months if frozen and stored properly in a sealed container.
What prevents the ice pops (popsicles) from freezing rock hard?
It’s the honey or the sugar content. The honey in this recipe gives the Rainbow Berry Rooibos Ice Pops a nice mouth feel. They are not too hard or too soft. If you exchange the honey out with a sugar alternative, it may make the ice pops harder.
