  • Food safe paintbrush or tweezers

Ingredients

Instructions

To make your popsicle:

  • Optional: Add 1-2 drops of food coloring for vibrant colors. Sprinkle edible gold flakes or dust into the molds for some shimmer and texture.
  • Pour the juice into the gemstone popsicle molds. 
  • Insert popsicle sticks into the molds, ensuring they are centered and stand upright.
  • Place the molds in the freezer and allow the popsicles to freeze completely. This typically takes 4-6 hours or overnight.
  •  Once fully frozen, gently remove the popsicles from the molds. If needed, run the molds briefly under warm water to loosen the popsicles. Let the popsicles thaw slightly to create a damp surface. This will help the gold adhere more easily. Or lightly wet your brush or tweezers.

To add the edible gold:

  • Pick up a piece of gold leaf with a food-safe brush or tweezers. Gently place it onto the slightly melted surface of the popsicle. Choose whether you want to highlight the edges, create a scattered effect, or cover specific areas with gold. This allows for customization and creativity.
  • If using gold flakes, delicately sprinkle them onto the popsicles. If using gold dust, dip a food-safe brush into the dust and gently apply it to the popsicles.
  • Once you’ve added the desired amount of gold, return the popsicles to the freezer until they are fully solid again.

Notes

Serving size dependent on your popsicle mold size.
