Ice cream is one of the most refreshing and delicious frozen treats in the summertime. But making ice cream requires special molds that can withstand very cold temperatures, and not all ice cream molds are created equal. Some are easier to use than others, so here’s a guide to how to make ice cream molds so that you can get the best results with your popsicle creations!
Getting Started With Ice Cream Moulds
The first step in creating ice cream molds is to choose the style that you want. There are many types to choose from, including traditional ice cube trays, small disposable cups and muffin tins lined with foil cupcake wrappers.
These are easy to use and can be used for making all sorts of fun and delicious ice cream desserts. They also come in some super cute designs, so they’re a great addition to your ice cream supplies!
How to Make Fresh Fruit Popsicles
During the summer, a lot of kids are asking for homemade fresh fruit popsicles. The best part is that these are a healthier alternative to store-bought popsicles and you can control what ingredients go into them. You can even layer pureed fruits and veggies for a more colorful treat.
This recipe is easy to make and only requires 6 ingredients. It’s a perfect treat for kids and you can make it as simple or as complicated as you’d like!
Prepare the ice cream mix according to the recipe. Then, pour it into a ziptop bag and squeeze out all of the air before sealing it tightly. This will help it freeze faster and make the process more uniform.
Once you’ve filled the bag, put it in the freezer until the popsicles are firm and ready to be unmolded. You may need to leave the bags in the freezer for several hours before you’re able to remove them, so it’s worth preparing the mixture ahead of time so that it can be prepared quickly when you’re ready to make your ice cream.
How to Make Homemade Ice Cream Bars
This is another delicious ice cream dessert that’s perfect for a party or a family snack. These bars are made with a base of softened vanilla or chocolate ice cream, whipped cream, and a variety of toppings. The toppings can be anything from nuts to coconut flakes to sprinkles, so you can really create an exciting dessert.
Then, dip each bar into the melted ice cream and roll or tap it in the “sprinkles” of choice. When the entire bar is covered with the melted ice cream and “sprinkles,” place it on a cookie sheet in the freezer. You can make a few at a time or freeze them all at once. After a few hours, you’ll have a delicious and nutritious dessert to enjoy on a warm day!
