Homemade Bomb Pops
A refreshing homemade version of the classic Bomb Pop, using natural fruit juices and minimal ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 cup strawberry juice or pureed strawberries
- 1 cup lime juice freshly squeezed
- 1 cup blueberry juice or pureed blueberries
- 1/2 cup water optional, to dilute if juices are too strong
- 2 –4 tbsp sweetener honey, agave, or sugar, adjust to taste
- Popsicle molds and sticks
Instructions
- In three separate bowls, mix strawberry juice with 1–2 tbsp sweetener until dissolved.
- In the second bowl, combine lime juice with sweetener to taste.
- In the third bowl, stir blueberry juice and sweetener until well blended.
- If juices are too concentrated, add water as needed to achieve balance.
- Carefully pour or spoon the strawberry mixture into the bottom third of each popsicle mold.
- Freeze for about 30–45 minutes, until firm to the touch but not fully frozen.
- Layer the lime mixture on top of the strawberry layer and freeze again for 30–45 minutes.
- Add the blueberry layer as the final layer and insert the popsicle sticks.
- Freeze completely for at least 4–6 hours, or overnight, until solid.
- To unmold, run the popsicle molds briefly under warm water and gently pull the sticks.
Notes
- Use 100% fruit juice or homemade purées for a clean, natural flavor.
- Adjust sweetness based on the acidity of your juices.
- Freeze time may vary by mold size—ensure each layer is set before adding the next.
- For vibrant colors, add a drop of natural food coloring to each layer.
- Pops will keep for up to 2 weeks in the freezer; store in airtight containers or freezer bags.
