Bursting with fresh fruit flavor, these easy Peach Popsicles are a total hit with the kids. They are easy to make with fresh or frozen fruit—or you can use canned fruit if needed—and are a perfect way to cool off, work as a hydration food, and are a yummy toddler snack on for a vitamin-rich treat. We love having popsicles on hand to change up how we eat produce, and I often use them as a way to prevent food waste. (I simply stash sliced leftover fruit in a freezer bag until I have enough to make a batch of fruit popsicles!) You can make these fruit popsicles all year round using frozen peaches as shown here, though they are particularly amazing and flavorful with fresh ripe peaches when they’re in season.

Ingredients You Need
Here’s a look at the ingredients you need to have on hand to make this peach popsicle recipe. Sign up for our email updates to get tips and ideas sent to your inbox.
Sliced peaches: You can use fresh peaches or thawed-from-frozen peaches. You can also make these with canned peaches if that’s an easier option for you; simply drain off the liquid from the fruit before you start. Apple juice: Depending on the juiciness of the fruit, it’s usually easiest to blend them by adding a little liquid. I like to use apple juice since it has a neutral flavor that lets the fresh peach flavor shine through. You can also make them slightly creamy by using full-fat coconut milk, solids only, or plain whole-milk Greek yogurt. Honey (or maple syrup; optional): The sweetness of peaches can vary a lot, so taste the blended mixture and add a little sweetener as needed.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Below is an overview of how to make these peach popsicles. Scroll down to the end of the post for the full information on amounts and timing.
How to Store
Once fully frozen, keep peach popsicles in the freezer for up to 6 months. If you freeze in popsicle molds without a plastic cover, you can transfer to a freezer bag once fully frozen to keep them fresher.
Favorite Popsicle Molds
We love the popsicle molds from Zoku and Tovolo since they are easy to clean, use, and release from the mold. You can find my guide to popsicle molds for more information and to find the best options for your family.
Best Tips for Success
Use fresh or thawed frozen fruit in these peach popsicles. Or, to use canned peaches; drain off the liquid and proceed with the recipe. Taste the blended fruit and adjust sweetness with honey or maple syrup as needed. Use apple juice, coconut milk (the full-fat kind in a can, solid part only) or Greek yogurt to vary the flavor. The coconut milk or yogurt will make these a little creamy. Use ice-pop sleeves or popsicle molds. Let peach popsicles sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly or run the popsicle mold under hot water before serving, if desired. If you have more frozen peaches, try my Fruit Slushies, Peach Crumb Bars, and Peach Crisp.
