How to Make Raspberry Popsicles

These raspberry popsicles are perfect if youโ€™re in the mood for a summery frozen treat. Theyโ€™re refreshing and so delicious.

Ingredients and substitutions

I like to use fresh raspberries when making these popsicles, but you can substitute frozen raspberries if you prefer. If using frozen, be sure to thaw them first and drain and discard any liquid before adding the frozen raspberries to the blender or food processor.

I like to sweeten these popsicles with a small amount of maple syrup. You can omit the maple syrup if you prefer, but the end result will be less sweet in that case. If youโ€™d like to omit the maple syrup, I recommend tasting the raspberry mixture before adding it to the popsicle mold to make sure itโ€™s sweet enough for you.

Vanilla extract enhances the flavor of the raspberries in these popsicles. I recommend using pure vanilla extract as opposed to artificial vanilla flavoring if possible because you can really taste the difference.
