If you want your popsicles to be soft, add any of these ingredients to them: • Sugar: Sugar decreases the freezing point. As a result, you can add more sugar to ensure the popsicles are soft. • Corn starch: Adding corn starch also ensures creamy popsicles. Corn starch doesn't have a taste of its own, so you don't have to worry about it ruining the flavor of your popsicle. • Dairy ingredients: Lastly, adding dairy and cream-based ingredients gives you soft popsicles. Adding condensed milk also gives you the same results. •Lime juice: The acidity of lime juice keeps the ice pops soft and free of ice crystals.
