This might be too simple of a question, but does anyone make their own popsicles?

[mariadnoca]

With my limited mobility I've revisited the simple summertime treat of eating a popsicle (Fudgsicle too) and it seems like they'd be easy to replicate/make better (like Margarita Popsicles!). Any favorite type of mold or flavor combinations? I don't currently own a mold.

(I miss root beer popsicles.)

A recent issue of Fine Cooking had a feature on them. Some interesting looking combinations.

when I was a kid we used the ice cube tray.

covered with plastic wrap and then put a toothpick in each one. I was at Ross with the wife recently and saw some popsicle molds

Ahhh - not popsickles but remember making junket/rennet ice cream in ice trays?

And Slushie Mugs - found 2 brand new ones at Goodwill Outlet the other day!

our take on "ice cream" was making pudding and freezing it...

 

[curious1]

Small paper cups work also, do they still make the small cups for dispensers?

 

[marilynfl]

Yes. That's what I use to serve mousse or pudding to the library or work.

I bought el cheapo molds from the dollar store. Utterly useless. Donated them.

I keep waiting to find a zoku maker at the consignment shops or garage sales. I am sure they were

purchased as a "fad" and hoping that someone will sell theirs! They just look like fun and a silly kitchen gadget; but if it is cheap enough, I would give it a shot! : )

Have you tried Craigslist, Barb? I found one listing for MIdtown East...

Edited to add: And there are quite a few on eBay! smileys/smile.gif

Bed Bath Beyond carries it if you have one of those $10 off $30 coupons

So, without even looking, I ran across this in-depth review on pop molds. Thank you internet.

I do want a traditional type mold vs. dixie cup. Never could eat those dixie cup ones very well.

I have a Donvier popsicle mold, doesn't look like they are sold anymore, too bad, it is terrific

I just have to find room in my tiny freezer for it! Currently it's filled with pork and bacon. (poor me, HA HA)
