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.

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.

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.
