Tips and Tricks for this Homemade Popsicle:

  • Another reader commented that she has always used sweetened condensed milk in place of the ice cream and a splash of vanilla extract – yum!
  • Allow the bubbles to settle before adding more soda to the mold. Do this a few times until the mold is about halfway filled with soda
