About Gummy Bear Popsicle

Gummy Bear Popsicle is a very simple frozen dessert where gummy candies are added into a lemon syrup base. Also the lemon juice adds little freshness and balances the sweetness from sugar and candies.

When it is frozen, the gummy bears stays inside the ice and give chewy bites in between. Kids usually enjoy finding the jellies while eating it. I usually make this when I want something very quick and fun without much effort. It hardly takes 10 minutes to prepare though freezing time is more.

This type of popsicle does not contain milk or cream, so it is more like an ice candy and feels more light. It is transparent and colorful depending on the gummy bears used. Different shapes and colors of gummies can be added which makes it look more colorful and attractive.

The lemon sugar water acts as the base and holds everything together after freezing. If too less gummies are added, they may settle at the bottom. Adding more helps them float around slightly and look evenly spread.

• Gummy bears - I have used small packet of jelly gummy bears. It gives color and chewy texture inside the popsicle. You can use any flavor or mixed candies as you like.
• Water - I just added this to form the ice structure around the gummies. You can use chilled water also if needed.

Expert Tips

• Dissolving sugar - I usually stir for few minutes so no sugar settles at bottom until fully dissolved. 
• Filling moulds - I usually leave little space at top as liquid expands slightly when freezing. Do not to overfill the mould with liquid. 
• Adding gummies - I fill about three fourth of mould before pouring lemon mix. Add enough gummy bears so they are visible properly. 
• Freezing time - I freeze for minimum 6 to 8 hours so it becomes firm. Do not remove popsicles too early. 
• Demoulding - I usually do this gently so popsicle comes out easily without breaking. Show the mould under running tap water for few seconds. 

Serving and Storage

Serve them immediately after removing from mould. This goes well as an evening snack during summer days. If not serving at once, keep popsicles inside freezer only. They can be stored for few days in freezer without any issue. And just make sure mould is covered properly to avoid ice crystals.
