15 Ice Pops That Will Change the Way You Think About Dessert

Roasted Cherry-Almond Milk Pops

At less than 50 calories per pop, this frozen yogurt pop is much lighter than the kind you'd find in the freezer aisle at the supermarket. The secret: roasting the cherries brings out their natural sweetness so you can cut down on the level of honey needed.

Rainbow Pops

Cool down with a bite of this refreshing sugar-free ice pop. The only sugar involved here comes naturally from the blended fruits: kiwi, raspberry, blackberry, and peach or mango. The healthy ice pops come in at just 35 calories for a truly delicious, healthy frozen treat.

Kiwi-Strawberry Rooibos Ice Pops

Watermelon-Kiwi Pops

For a dessert that looks as sweet as it tastes, try these layered ice pops. Try the same strategy with pineapple and blueberry or mango and raspberry, depending on the season. Using paper cups and wooden craft sticks makes an easy DIY ice pop mold.

Strawberry Sangria Ice Pops

Don't let that vino go to waste. Put the final glass of white wine to good use in these boozy ice pops that taste just like a fruity summer sangria. If you've got kids in the house, white grape juice works wonderfully in place of wine.

Mango-Chili Ice Pops

Spice up your dessert routine with this recipe that's inspired by the chili powder-dusted mango snack served by street vendors in Mexico. The mango ice pops get a bit of zesty flavor from lime juice while the chili powder gives every lick an unexpected bit of heat.

Berry-Yogurt Rocket Pops

You're just 4 ingredients away from making these delish ice pops. Making your own homemade berry swirl means the healthy frozen treats will only have 2 tablespoons of added sugar total.

Sherbet Fruit Pops

Repurpose purchased sherbet with our easy fruit pop recipe. Make note of the ratios, then go wild by customizing with your favorite fruit, juice, and sherbet combos. Layering the fruit creates a lovely layer of color in the homemade ice pops.

Classic Fudge Pops

Cure your cocoa craving with these frozen fudge pops. A triple dose of chocolate flavor (melted semisweet chocolate, cocoa powder, and mini chips) makes these chocolate ice pops really stand out from the store-bought kinds. Dip in melted white chocolate and nuts, extra chocolate chips, or crushed cookies for a showstopping finish.

Watermelon Margarita Pops

"Made with 100% real fruit!" is what the label would read if you purchased these watermelon pops at the store. Each watermelon round is dressed simply with orange juice and zest, a splash of tequila, and a pinch of sugar and salt.

Boozy Mocha Pops

Get your coffee and after-dinner drink fix with this creative ice pop recipe. Cold brew coffee (try making your own) combines with vodka, coffee-flavor liqueur, and chocolate to make a mouthwatering adults-only frozen treat that's going to quickly disappear from the freezer.

Rocket Pops

You might be able to guess that watermelon is the base of the red rocket ice pops, but do you have any predictions about what fruit kicks off the blue version? Hint: Think tropical! Pineapple juice with a hint of blue food coloring does the trick for these nostalgic treats.
