It's not summertime without a yummy ice pop every now and then. But instead of reaching into the freezer for that box of store-bought pops, try one of these tasty homemade versions.

First Up:
An icy-fruity blueberry layer sandwiches creamy summer peach mousse for a stunning and delicious treat that children and adults will love.

Turn the bumper crop of peak-season melon into crowd-pleasing cream pops. Floral honeydew, musky cantaloupe, and candy-sweet watermelon provide dazzling pastel colors, while a bit of yogurt lends creamy appeal.

Minted Watermelon and Lemon Ice Pops

Boasting just 82 calories and a boatload of vitamin C, these double-decker popsicles feature a sweet-tart lemon layer topped with a minty watermelon layer. If you prefer one flavor over the other, double the amount of ingredients required for each layer and make single flavored pops.

These just might be the most sophisticated ice pops we've ever had. Reach for regular whole-milk yogurt here instead of Greek yogurt; the texture is looser, and the flavor is richer and less tart.

Watermelon-Jalapeño Ice Pops

Sweet meets heat in this summer-ready popsicle recipe. A bit of pectin helps keep all the ingredients incorporated evenly in this treat; without it, they tend to separate.

Ground red pepper gives this pop just that—a pop!—while the lime's tartness and the crispness of the cucumber add wonderful flavor complexity.

View Recipe: Peaches-and-Cream Frozen Pops

Our version of the Creamsicle is silky, with distinct peachy flavor. It’s a not-too-sweet pop that grown-ups will love but that’s playful enough for all ages.
