Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Bereiten Sie die Popsicles am besten einen Tag im Voraus vor, damit sie vollständig durchfrieren können. Achten Sie darauf, beim Befüllen der Formen etwas Platz oben zu lassen, damit die Flüssigkeit sich ausdehnen kann. Für eine noch praktischere Variante können Sie verschiedene Geschmacksrichtungen in einzelnen Formen kombinieren.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Ersetzen Sie die Früchte je nach Saison oder persönlichem Geschmack problemlos durch Ihre Favoriten. Für vegane Popsicles verwenden Sie einfach Ahornsirup statt Honig und einen milchfreien Joghurt als Dip. Die Wahl der Nüsse kann ganz nach Vorliebe angepasst oder komplett weggelassen werden, um Allergien zu berücksichtigen.

Serviervorschläge

Servieren Sie den Summer Popsicle Board als erfrischenden Snack auf Gartenpartys oder als Dessert nach dem Grillen. Kombinieren Sie die Popsicles mit einem Glas sprudelnder Limonade oder einem kühlen Roséwein für Erwachsene. Die bunte Vielfalt der Früchte und Toppings macht das gemeinsame Snacken zum Spaß für Groß und Klein.
