FAQs
Can I use only fresh fruit instead of frozen?
Yes, fresh fruit works well. Using frozen fruit helps create a thicker texture and speeds up freezing, but fresh fruit will produce equally delicious popsicles.
What can I substitute for agave if I don’t have it?
You can use honey, maple syrup, or simple syrup as a sweetener substitute. Adjust sweetness to taste based on your preference.
