Equipment
- Gemstone popsicle mold
- Food safe paintbrush or tweezers
Ingredients
- Juice for your popsicle
- 1 edible gold leaf
- Food coloring optional
- Edible gold luster dust optional
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
