I love to pair these fresh patriotic popsicles with this star-spangled fruit salad and these frozen yogurt berry cups. I add them all to a dessert board that is perfect for the summer heat. The entire board is usually gone in ten minutes – these desserts are that good!

Important Recipe Notes

Freeze Time. These popsicles need time to freeze in between layers. Ensure you freeze them for the allotted time before adding the next layer. The popsicles also need at least 4 hours to freeze after all the layers have been added.

Agave. You can substitute maple syrup for the agave. If you only need the recipe to be gluten free and not vegan, you can substitute honey.
