Citrus is just such a refreshing and hydrating fruit to enjoy on these hot summer days, and these easy lime pops are no different. They're bright, fresh, full of flavor, and couldn't be easier to make.

INGREDIENTS FOR LIME POPSICLES
- Lime Juice: Fresh squeezed is always best because it has a much brighter, less concentrated flavor. Here's a link to my favorite juicer so you can get every last drop!
- Monk Fruit: Monk fruit is by far my favorite non-sugar sweetener. I use it daily, and have found that Lakanto and PureCane are the best quality
- Water: This is used to dilute the lime syrup and make sure your popsicles aren't too tart!
HOW TO MAKE EASY LIME POPSICLES
- In a small pot, add your fresh squeezed lime juice and the monk fruit
- Place the pot on the stove over medium heat and stir frequently until the monk fruit is dissolved
- Once the monk fruit is dissolved into the lime juice, turn the heat off and pour the lime syrup into a large, glass measuring cup
- Add the water to the measuring cup, stir well, then carefully pour your lime popsicle mixture into your popsicle molds
- Pop the lids onto your popsicles and place them into the freezer to allow them to freeze completely. About 6-8 hours.
EXPERT TIPS
- Make this with fresh squeezed lime juice
- Substitute the monk fruit with regular white sugar
- A funnel or measuring cup with a spout makes filling the popsicle mold much easier
- Allow 6-8 hours for these to freeze completely
- Make these the night before
- Briefly run the outside of the popsicle mold under water to easily remove them
LIME POPSICLE VARIATIONS
- Add lime zest for decoration
- Replace half of the water with watermelon juice
- Sprinkle a dash of chili powder into the lime syrup for a sweet and spicy combo
- Place fresh cut strawberries into the popsicles before freezing
STORING LEFTOVERS
I always keep my popsicles in the mold in the freezer until I'm done with them.
If you want to use your popsicle mold for another recipe, you can remove the lime popsicles from the mold and immediately transfer them to a freezer safe plastic bag with a piece of parchment paper in between each one. Pop the bag into the freezer and pull one out as needed.
Popsicles will last in the freezer for up to 6 months.
FAQs
How do I pull popsicles out of the mold?
If you're having trouble getting the popsicles out of the mold, I recommend running the entire thing briefly under warm water and that should loosen the sides enough to remove them.
Should I use bottled or fresh lime juice?
I always prefer to use fresh lime juice because the flavor it so much better. Bottled tends to be more concentrated which will make the flavor of these popsicles much more tart.
What's the easiest way to juice a lime?
Limes are tough to squeeze without juicer, so I suggest investing in this hand held one! It's easy, inexpensive, and doesn't take up a lot of space.
What can I use if I don't have a popsicle mold?
No popsicle mold, no problem! You can make these the old fashioned way with paper cups and wooden popsicle sticks!
Are popsicles healthy?
These ones are! They're completely sugar free and come in at less than 10 calories per pop.
