Ingredients

Blue Layer

  • Blue Kool-Aid or Gatorade

White Layer

  • ½ cup cake mix powder Funfetti or White
  • ¼ cup vanilla yogurt
  • ¼ cup Extra Creamy Cool Whip

Red Layer

  • Red Kool-Aid or Gatorade

Instructions

  • Fill your popsicle mold ⅓ of the way with blue Kool-Aid and freeze for 1 hour.
  • Mix the cake mix, yogurt and Cool Whip in a bowl and then pipe into the popsicle molds filling the next ⅓ of the way. Freeze at least 1 hour.
  • Fill the last ⅓ of the mold with the red Kool-Aid and freeze for 1 hour.
  • Run warm water over the molds right before serving to extract pop easily.

Notes

  1. Layering Technique: To achieve clean and distinct layers in your popsicles, allow each layer to freeze completely before adding the next. This ensures that the colors don't mix together, resulting in a visually appealing patriotic pattern.
  2. Consistency Adjustment: Depending on the thickness of your yogurt and Cool Whip mixture, you may need to adjust the proportions slightly to achieve the desired consistency. Aim for a thick but spreadable texture that can be easily piped into the popsicle molds without blending with the other layers.
  3. Popsicle Mold Prep: Before pouring the ingredients into the popsicle molds, make sure they are clean and dry. This helps prevent any unwanted flavors or textures from previous uses and ensures that the popsicles freeze evenly. Additionally, inserting popsicle sticks into the partially frozen blue layer can help keep them upright during the layering process.
