Notes

Expert Recipe Tips:

Drain the pineapple really well. Squeeze out as much liquid from the crushed pineapple as possible using a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth. Excess moisture can cause icy texture and throw off the creaminess.

Whisk until smooth. Thoroughly combine the thick cream, yogurt, and drink mix to ensure an even distribution of flavors and avoid separation during freezing.

Use a pourable container. After mixing, transfer the mixture to a large measuring cup or bowl with a spout to make it easier to pour into molds cleanly and evenly.

Tap molds to release air bubbles. Gently tapping the molds on the counter helps prevent gaps or cracks in the popsicles once frozen.

Don’t overfill the molds. Leave about ¼ inch of space at the top of each mold to allow for expansion during freezing and prevent overflow.

Run under cold water to release. Using cold water helps popsicles slide out more cleanly without melting the surface layer too quickly.

Use stainless steel molds for best results. Stainless steel molds freeze faster, last longer, and help the popsicles release more easily.

Taste before freezing. If you’re experimenting with substitutions like alcohol or yogurt alternatives, tasting the mixture first lets you adjust sweetness or flavor balance.

Label them if making multiple flavors. Label molds or use different sticks to avoid mix-ups, especially when making alcoholic and non-alcoholic versions.

Serve with garnishes for fun presentation. Pineapple wedges, maraschino cherries, or coconut flakes add a festive tropical touch for parties and BBQs.

Storage:

The best way to store this virgin piña colada popsicle recipe is in the freezer, in their molds. Then you can simply take them out as needed and run the part of the mold you want to use under cold water. Even if they defrost a little, they'll freeze up again.

However, they will only last a couple of weeks in the freezer, then they start to get icy.
