Unsurprisingly the shops are now all sold out. I was thinking of making some so wondered if anyone else here has made their own?

The ones I did find were sold by Tesco in the Disney Frozen boxes. Iceland also do sugar free in a box call Tip Top or something like that - but again everywhere is sold out.

Annoyingly the shops are still rammed with the sugar filled versions.

Ice pops make a nice refreshing little treat in this heat without having to go the whole hog of having/making lollies.
 
I do like to make things but have never actually make iced lollies or ice cream. I have some slushy strawberries past their best and some whipped cream so wondered about combining those and freezing into portions.
 
You could make your own quite easily IKEA and various other shops sell silicone Calippo style moulds you could just fill them with sugar free squash or whatever you have stick them in the freezer job done! I fill mine with orange juice or milkshakes for my little ones! They love them.
 
Try Poundland they do the 'Frozen' ones as well.

A few weeks back Lidl had some silicone molds for Callico like 'Pop-up' lollies.
 
Well.....

The heatwave continues so I have now made my own sugar free ice pops.

Now that I've given up baking with all those daft strange ingredients - I'm into ice pops!

I bought supplies of the silicon ice pop moulds, sugar free dilutable drinks in various flavours plus some sugar free coke and they have been disappearing faster than I can make and freeze them!

I'm next looking at making ice cream.....
 
Look for squashes with the lowest carbs - not just no added sugar ones as they can have lots of natural sugars.
If you can't find moulds then use a baking tray for cup cakes or muffins and put teaspoons into them as handles. Make up the squash rather stronger than you'd drink it as the chill tends to reduce the flavour, but not excessively so, make sure there is a level place to put it and you are good to go. Once frozen remove from the tray and put into small sandwich bags in the coldest part of the freezer and make another batch.
 
Mrs just uses plain Greek yogurt and mixes in some fruit,freeze in Popsicle molds and there you are.She has been known to add a little fruit juice,up to you if you want to try that.
