Gummy Bear Popsicle Recipe – Sharmis Passions

Gummy Bear Popsicle is a colourful frozen treat made by freezing lemon juice mixture along with gummy bear candies inside moulds. It looks bright and fun because the jellies are visible through the ice. The taste is mildly sweet with slight tang from lemon juice. It feels light and refreshing during hot days.

This popsicle is usually made during summer holidays when kids are at home and asking for something cold very often. It does not require cooking, only mixing and freezing. Since it is homemade, sugar level can be adjusted as needed and no artificial syrups are added extra.

About Gummy Bear Popsicle

Gummy Bear Popsicle is a very simple frozen dessert where gummy candies are added into a lemon syrup base. Also the lemon juice adds little freshness and balances the sweetness from sugar and candies.

When it is frozen, the gummy bears stays inside the ice and give chewy bites in between. Kids usually enjoy finding the jellies while eating it. I usually make this when I want something very quick and fun without much effort. It hardly takes 10 minutes to prepare though freezing time is more.

This type of popsicle does not contain milk or cream, so it is more like an ice candy and feels more light. It is transparent and colorful depending on the gummy bears used. Different shapes and colors of gummies can be added which makes it look more colorful and attractive.

The lemon sugar water acts as the base and holds everything together after freezing. If too less gummies are added, they may settle at the bottom. Adding more helps them float around slightly and look evenly spread.

• Adding gummies – I fill about three fourth of mould before pouring lemon mix. Add enough gummy bears so they are visible properly. 
• Freezing time – I freeze for minimum 6 to 8 hours so it becomes firm. Do not remove popsicles too early. 
• Demoulding – I usually do this gently so popsicle comes out easily without breaking. Show the mould under running tap water for few seconds.

Serve them immediately after removing from mould. This goes well as an evening snack during summer days. If not serving at once, keep popsicles inside freezer only. They can be stored for few days in freezer without any issue. And just make sure mould is covered properly to avoid ice crystals.
