Creamy Lemonade Popsicles
With the cooler temps and the constant rain, it sure isn’t feeling like summer around here. We are taking advantage of every sunny day that comes our way, though, and heading outside to play as often as we can!
I know the time is coming, soon, where I’ll have to drag my kids in from playing simply to grab a snack or eat something. The sweltering Kansas heat will be beating down on us and we will want and need a cool dessert to cool us off! If I’m complaining about the heat come July, remind me of how much I moaned and groaned about the cold temps in May and June, ok?
Our Summer of Fun Bucket List for 2013 included making homemade popsicles! Homemade popsicles are the best no-bake dessert, aren’t they? They are simple to make and portable… kids don’t even really have to stop what they are doing to eat them! And parents? This recipe for Creamy Lemonade Popsicles is even better because it only has 4 ingredients – you can make them and not miss out on the outdoor fun yourselves! Plus, they are pretty adaptable. Add in some blueberries and strawberries and you’d have a great treat for 4th of July with your red, white (light yellow) and blue!
So what do you think… would your kids rush in for a chance to taste one of these great Creamy Lemonade Popsicles? I bet they would! They are a great way to beat the heat, for sure! Enjoy!

Creamy lemonade popsicles… my son will go crazy over these. So will I.
I haven’t made popsicles in a long time, but you had me at Lemon & Creamy! Pinning this to “Grammie’s House” My granddaughter will devour these! Thanks a bunch!
That is so cute! You are a fantastic grandma!
Oh wow! I’m all about these. And like you said, so easy!
These remind me of creamsicles but with lemon, yum!
Perfectly refreshing. Great photos too!
I love lemon anything in the summer – I would definitely rush in for these guys!
These just scream summer! I love that you added cool whip to them…so refreshing!
These treats will be perfect when the warm weather comes back here, too! It’s been cooler here this week and I’m ready for summer!!
There’s nothing better than homemade popsicles on a hot summer day!
These sound dreamy! It is making me want to go out and buy a Popsicle mold for my son and I to make these! Can’t wait!
Everyone in my family is over 21 – can I add a little vodka to mine? 🙂
pinning this refreshing yumminess. Thank you for sharing xo

Popsicles are the best during summer, instant gratification!
We are SO gonna make these! So simple and delicious!
I bought this mold for pops this summer, and now I can’t be stopped. Popsicles for everyone!
Beautiful photos! These popsicles look so perfect 🙂 love this!
Oh these look incredible!! Forget the kids, give ’em to me!! 😉 Of course Id say something different if I actually had kids 😉
When I made the popsicles the cool whip would not combine with the lemonade. I whisked for a long time and could not get them to combine. So my popsicles are half and half. Any suggestions?
Hi Joan – I’m sorry about that. I actually did mine in the blender…I should probably go in and clarify that since you had a problem with the whisking the ingredients together not working out. I’m sorry they didn’t turn out for you but appreciate you letting me know so I can make adjustments for the next person.
Same thing happened to me, and I did use a blender. My pops were half lemonade half cream. Which was still yummy, but not what I expected.
I’m so sorry – I’ve made these a few times and haven’t had that problem. Did you by any chance use light or fat free Cool Whip? I’m going to try and figure out why that might be. Sorry they didn’t turn out blended.
Thanks in advance for the info!
How much lemonade mix? What size?
Hi Krystal – One cup of the dry lemonade mix. We use Country Time. (The recipe indicates the amounts if you need further clarification. Thanks so much!).
Loving the BLUE background and the creamy, lemony pops. I bet they’re so refreshing! Pinned. And I want that popsicle mold of yours!
Great recipe, thank you.
Just wondering any idea where the lolly mould is from, can’t seem to find a similar one. Thanks
Hello, I’m a fan of your work and whenever I can I’m here reading each new post. Congratulations on the great work you have been doing on the blog. Kisses
Love it! But here in the Netherlands we don’t know Cool Whip, can I use normal whipcream?
Hi Maria –
Great question. I think that should work fine! Thanks!
Thank you!!! 😀
