Home made plastic molds can be cleaned with small bottle brushes, or just soaked in warm soapy water, rinsed and left to dry, upside down, on a kitchen towel. The base was fine, but all the plastic sticks got ruined. I once cleaned a popsicle mold in the dishwasher. Cleaning Popsicle MoldsĬheck your store bought molds to see if they are dishwasher safe. Doing this means that they will be ready to eat when I want one with no need to unmold them. I like to release all my pops at once as soon as they are frozen and place each one in a zip lock baggie in an air tight container in the fridge. You can also let the pops come to room temperature and they will release on their own but won’t have the nice sharp edges that warm water releasing gives them. ![]() If your molds have several pops in one, place the whole mold in a bowl of warm water to release them all. For individual molds, just run the outside of the mold under warm water for 30 seconds or so. Easy peasy! Un-molding Popsiclesįrozen ice pops will stick to the molds every time so they need to be gently unmolded. ![]() To fix this problem be sure to fill the molds about 3/4 or so full to give the liquid room to expand. Liquid expands when it freezes, so if you fill your molds to the top and then freeze, you will end up with a messy freezer. ![]() The answer is to party freeze the pops and then add the stick and freeze till firm.

Retail Popsicle molds have built in sticks that stay in the center, but home made molds require you to add your own stick. These 4th of July Pudding pops really set a patriotic mood, don’t they? Adding the Stick It’s hard to get even layers if the mixtures are too thick. To get the layers even, freeze the mixture for a bit between layers and also thin down your ingredients so they will sit more evenly. Layers can add an extra touch of texture and a fun look to popsicles.
