Time 14h35m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

cooking spray
1 (3 ounce) package berry blue gelatin
½ cup white sugar
3 ¾ cups boiling water, divided
1 (3 ounce) package strawberry gelatin
1 (.25 ounce) envelope unflavored gelatin
¼ cup cold water
½ (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

Steps:

Line two 4x8-inch loaf pans with foil; coat with cooking spray. Stir together berry blue gelatin and 1/4 cup sugar in a bowl with 1 1/2 cups boiling water until dissolved. Pour into the first prepared pan. Stir together strawberry gelatin and remaining 1/4 cup sugar in a bowl with 1 1/2 cups boiling water until dissolved. Pour into second prepared pan. Chill both mixtures until set, at least 3 hours.
Sprinkle unflavored gelatin over 1/4 cup cold water in a bowl. Let stand 5 minutes. Add remaining 3/4 cup boiling water and whisk until dissolved. Stir in sweetened condensed milk and let cool to room temperature.
Meanwhile, line a 9x13-inch pan with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on long sides, and coat with cooking spray. Turn chilled gelatins out onto a cutting board and coarsely chop. Transfer to prepared pan, then pour in milk mixture. Chill until set, at least 3 hours.
Use foil to carefully lift gelatin mixture and transfer to a baking sheet, then fold down edges of foil. Insert 8 wooden sticks, spaced evenly, on each long side of the gelatin block. Freeze overnight.
Let frozen gelatin stand at room temperature 15 minutes. Cut into 16 ice pop-sized rectangles.

Tips:

Choose the right molds: Select molds that are safe for freezing and can withstand the temperature changes during the freezing and thawing process. Silicone molds are a popular choice because they are flexible and easy to remove the popsicles.
Use fresh and ripe fruits: The quality of the fruits used will greatly impact the taste of your popsicles. Opt for ripe, flavorful fruits to ensure the best possible taste.
Experiment with different flavors: Don't limit yourself to classic flavors like cherry and grape. Try experimenting with unique combinations of fruits, herbs, and spices to create your own signature popsicles.
Add natural sweeteners: If desired, you can add natural sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar to enhance the sweetness of your popsicles. However, keep in mind that the natural sugars in the fruits will also contribute to the sweetness.
Freeze quickly: Once you have filled the molds, place them in the freezer as soon as possible. This will help prevent the popsicles from forming large ice crystals, resulting in a smoother texture.
Store properly: After the popsicles are frozen, transfer them to an airtight container and store them in the freezer. This will help preserve their quality and prevent freezer burn.

Conclusion:

Creating patriotic popsicles at home is a fun and easy way to celebrate Independence Day or any other patriotic occasion. With just a few simple ingredients and a little creativity, you can make delicious and refreshing popsicles that are sure to be a hit with family and friends. So gather your ingredients, choose your favorite combinations, and get ready to enjoy a taste of summer with these patriotic popsicle recipes. Happy Fourth of July!
