My pops are way too spicy! Is there any way to fix them?

Unfortunately, you can't remove the spice once they are frozen. The key is to control the heat from the beginning by removing the seeds and white pith from the jalapeños. If you are sensitive to spice, start with just one or two de-seeded slices per pop.

Can I use a different type of pepper?

Yes! For more heat, you could use a serrano pepper. For a different, smokier flavor with less heat, you could even try a few very thin slivers of a poblano pepper.

Why are my ice pops rock-hard and difficult to eat?

The texture of a juice-based pop depends on its sugar content. If you use a sugar-free or very low-sugar limeade, the result will be much icier and harder. Using a standard, sweetened limeade or a homemade version with sugar will ensure a softer, more bite-able texture

The Ultimate Jalapeño Ice Pops: A Spicy-Sweet Summer Adventure

A simple and refreshing frozen treat with a sweet and spicy kick. These ice pops are made by layering limeade and slices of fresh jalapeno in a pop mold.

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Pour limeade into ice pop molds until they are halfway full.
Drop one or two fresh jalapeno slices into each mold.
Place the molds in the freezer until the first layer is solid, approximately 1 to 2 hours.
Remove the molds from the freezer and pour more limeade on top of the frozen layer to fill the molds.
Add another one or two jalapeno slices to each pop.
Return the molds to the freezer and freeze until completely solid, at least 2 more hours.

Notes

Layering and freezing in two separate stages is crucial to ensure the jalapeno slices are distributed throughout the pop and don’t all sink to the bottom.
The number of jalapeno slices can be adjusted depending on your desired level of spiciness.
For a clearer pop, you can use a filtered or pulp-free limeade.
