Frequently Asked Questions FAQ's
Banana popsicles are typically made of three main ingredients: dairy, bananas, and a sweetener of choice. Banana popsicles can, however, be made dairy free and often with other ingredients like vanilla, chocolate, cinnamon, and fudge.
The main ingredient that can help keep homemade popsicles soft is: fat. Using ingredients like: whole milk, coconut cream, heavy cream, and full-fat Greek yogurt can help your popsicles stay soft and creamy.
When making homemade popsicles, it is important to avoid adding too much water content and balance your popsicles with enough fat. If you add too much water, fruit, or low-fat content into your popsicles, they could be hard and icy.
