Ingredients
- 3 large Fresh lemons
- 2 cups Water
- 0.5 cups Granulated erythritol (or preferred low-carb sweetener)
- 0.25 cups Heavy cream (optional for a creamy version)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Juice the lemons to yield about 1/2 cup of fresh lemon juice. Set the juice aside.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, combine water, erythritol, and lemon zest. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sweetener has completely dissolved. This should take about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Step 3
Once the mixture has cooled, stir in the lemon juice and vanilla extract. For a creamy version, whisk in the heavy cream until fully incorporated.
Step 4
Carefully pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a small amount of space at the top to allow for expansion as they freeze.
Step 5
Insert popsicle sticks into the molds and place them in the freezer. Freeze for at least 4-6 hours or until completely solid.
Step 6
To remove the popsicles from the molds, briefly run warm water over the outside of each mold to loosen the popsicle.
Step 7
Serve immediately and enjoy the zesty, low-carb treat!
