Frozen Jello Pops
Time: 10 min. hands on + 5 hours to chill
Yield: 24 little pops
Recipe adapted from Real Women Of Philadelphia
1 3 oz box cherry jello
1 3 oz box lime jello
1 3 oz box watermelon jello
1 3 oz box orange jello
1 1/3 C sugar
4 C boiling water
3 C crushed ice
24 small cups (3 ounces each)
24 popsicle sticks
You can, of course use what ever kind of jello suits your fancy. There are so many different flavors these days. Berry Blue, Black Cherry and Peach would all be yummy and very colorful.
This is what you are going to need. Pretty simple!
Let’s do it…
Let’s do it…
1. Pour one package of your jello into a medium sized bowl. It works best if you have a bowl that has a handle and a spout.
2. Add 1/3 C of sugar to your jello, stir to combine.
3. Pour 1 C of hot water into a glass measuring cup, pop it into the microwave for 2 minutes or until the water boils. Pour the boiling water over the top of the sugar/jello mixture.
4. Stir it well, with a spoon. Be sure all of the sugar and jello are dissolved in the boiling water.
5. Pour 3/4 C crushed ice into your jello mixture. Stir it until all of the ice has melted and is incorporated.
6. Place your little cups in a large pan. Pour the jello into the cups.
7. Repeat steps 1-6 with the other 3 flavors of jello.
8. Put your pan full of jello cups into the freezer for 20 minutes.
The jello pops will begin to set up. Once they are a little bit firm, remove them from the freezer and slide the sticks into the center of each pop.
9. Return the pan to the freezer and leave it there for at least 5 hours.
10. When you are ready to eat these pretty little pops, cut a slit in the side of each cup with a pair of scissors. Pull the pop out…
and eat it up. 🙂
Enjoy!
My kids love these but I haven't made them in a while. Thanks for the reminder. 🙂
Oh, and little tip, if you use plastic spoons instead of popsicle sticks, the popsicles won't slice down the stick when they start melting a little.
Have a great Wednesday!
Jamie, thx so much for this post. What a fun, inexpensive & tasty cool treat! And Patti, great tip about that spoons! That worked GREAT!
Could this also be done with sugar free jello?

I made these and they tasted great but it didn’t really turn into popsicles… just very firm jello
Maybe I did something wrong ?
