How to Make Your Refreshing Keto Popsicles:

Combine Ingredients: 

• In a blender or a bowl, combine your chosen full-fat liquid base, keto-friendly sweetener, and flavoring agents. Blend or whisk thoroughly until the sweetener is dissolved and the mixture is smooth.   

Taste and Adjust: 

• Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness or flavoring to your preference. Remember that the flavors might be slightly muted once frozen, so you can make it a touch sweeter or more intense.

Pour into Molds: 

• Carefully pour the mixture into popsicle molds. You can find various shapes and sizes online or in kitchen stores.

Add Ins (Optional): 

• If desired, add keto-friendly inclusions like chopped nuts, sugar-free chocolate chips, or a few berries to the molds before freezing.

Freeze: 

• Insert popsicle sticks into the molds and freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight, until completely solid.   

Unmold and Enjoy: 

• To unmold the popsicles, you can briefly run the molds under warm water for a few seconds to loosen them. Gently pull on the stick to release the popsicle. Enjoy your refreshing keto treat!
