Pop into Summer: Rainbow Jell-O Ice Pops

Leave a comment

A dreamy summer day involves some time at the pool or beach, lots of sun, and a refreshing treat to top it all off. If you’re missing the cherry on top of your summer daydream, look no further—rainbow Jell-O ice pops are here to save the day (and your sweet tooth).

Ingredients:

  • 3 oz Jell-O packets in the colors or flavors of your choice (the number is up to you, but 6 is a good variety)
  • 2 16 oz cups of cool water for each Jell-O packet
  • Popsicle molds

Directions:

  1. Start by mixing your first packet of Jell-O into two cups of cool water.
  2. Pour a measured amount of this mixture into a popsicle mold. The amount depends on the number of colors you use and the size of the popsicle molds.
  3. Place the popsicle mold into the freezer until the Jell-O water is frozen, and perform this procedure for each layer. Remember to wait for each layer to freeze before adding the next layer to prevent the colors from mixing. Don’t wait too long though; if the layers are too frozen, they will not stick together.
  4. When you reach the last layer, you can start inserting the popsicle sticks into the molds. Due to how frozen the Jell-O water becomes, inserting the popsicle sticks will be difficult. Here’s the solution: Take the handle of a small spoon or a metal object similar in size to a popsicle stick and run it under hot water. Afterward, gently insert it into the popsicles. Pull it out, and voilà! Problem solved.
  5. After inserting the popsicle sticks, freeze the last layer.
  6. They are ready to eat! Simply run the mold under warm water, and the popsicle slides right out.
