What better way to cool off on a hot summer day than a homemade popsicle straight from the freezer?

Not only a great and tasty way to beat the heat, but also a brilliant way to showcase the season’s freshest fruits.

Here are some of my favorite recipes from around the web:

You’ll want to eat the seeds from these Watermelon Wedge Popsicles from Recipezaar. They’re made of chocolate chips. The rind is made from lime sherbet. Yum!

Kitchen Simplicity’s Strawberry Nectarine Popsicles showcase two of the season’s most popular fruits.

These Banana Blueberry Swirl Popsicles from Martha also look delicious, sort of a frozen smoothie.

These vibrant Kiwi Popsicles from Fuzz Food are a treat for your mouth and your eyes.

Another pretty pop are these Triple-Decker Citrus Popsicles from MyRecipes.com.

There’s some great molds out there to help guarantee pretty results.

Clockwise from Top Left Corner: Tovolo Ice-Cream Pop Molds, Tovolo Blue Star Dual Freeze Pop Molds, Orka’s Ice Pop Maker, SiliconeZone Grape Freezer Pop Mold, Cuisipro Sailboat Popsicle Mold, Zoku Quick Pop Maker, Tovolo Blue Rocket Pop Molds, Zoo Pops, Tovolo Jewel Pop Molds, Lekue Silicone Ice Pop Mold

Another great idea is to just use small baking tins like this.

Happy Freezing!
Until next time,
