Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh fruit juice (any flavor - orange, apple, or berry)
- 2 teaspoons Gelatin powder (unflavored)
- 1 tablespoon Honey or agave syrup (for sweetness, optional)
- 1 cup Fresh fruit (diced, optional for texture)
- 1 cup Water
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and the gelatin powder.
Step 2
Let the gelatin bloom for 2-3 minutes to hydrate.
Step 3
Turn the heat to low and gently heat the mixture, stirring continuously, until the gelatin is fully dissolved. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool for 1-2 minutes.
Step 5
In a mixing bowl, combine the fresh fruit juice and honey or agave syrup (if using). Stir well to incorporate.
Step 6
Slowly pour the dissolved gelatin mixture into the juice, stirring constantly to ensure it is evenly mixed.
Step 7
If using diced fresh fruit, divide it evenly among popsicle molds.
Step 8
Carefully pour the liquid mixture into the molds, leaving a small gap at the top to allow for expansion during freezing.
Step 9
Insert popsicle sticks into the molds and place them in the freezer to set for at least 4-6 hours, or until solid.
Step 10
Once frozen, serve and enjoy your dripless popsicles!
