11 Great Popsicle Molds for Upgrading Your Frozen Desserts
Fill your freezer with homemade push pops this summer.
When warmer weather comes around, so does peak frozen dessert season—think ice cream, icebox cakes, and of course, popsicles. You could buy a box in the grocery store freezer aisle and call it a day, but if you’d rather make your own with real produce, these molds can help. We gathered some of the best-rated popsicle molds out there, like Zoku’s classic pop mold, and some fun shapes, too, in case you feel like creating Ring Pop-esque desserts or want an ice pop shaped like a cactus. Read on to find out where you can get them, and start making room in your freezer.
Zoku’s Classic
This classic mold from Zoku got great reviews across Sur La Table, Williams-Sonoma, Bed Bath & Beyond, and more. It comes with reusable pop sticks that have drip guards for minimal mess, and yields six pops total.
