Can I use frozen apricots for these pops?

The recipe specifies fresh apricots for optimal flavor and texture, but if using frozen, ensure they are thawed and drained before blending to achieve the correct consistency.

What kind of plant-based ice cream works best?

The recipe recommends vanilla soy, cashew, or coconut ice cream, but any creamy vanilla plant-based ice cream you enjoy will work well to blend with the apricots.

Can I adjust the sweetness of these apricot pops?

Yes, the recipe includes 1 tablespoon of pure maple syrup, but you can adjust this amount to your taste or omit it if your apricots are very sweet.

How long do these apricot pops need to freeze?

The recipe indicates they need to be placed in the freezer until solid, which typically takes a few hours depending on your freezer and mould size.

How should I store leftover apricot pops, and do they melt quickly?

The recipe notes they melt fast, so it's best to eat them quickly. Store any remaining pops in an airtight container in the freezer to minimize melting and maintain freshness.

How to Prepare Fresh Summer Apricot Pops [Vegan]

Put the apricots into a blender and blend till smooth. Once they are smooth scrape the puree into a 1 cup measuring cup. You want the puree to equal 1 cup. So if it doesn't, just put the puree back into the blender and add a couple more apricots to top it up and blend till smooth.
Soften a little vanilla soy, cashew or coconut ice cream. Measure out a cup and put it in the blender with the apricot and blend till smooth. Add the maple syrup and pour the ice cream mixture into your icy pole moulds and place in the freezer till solid.
10 minutes of preparation, plus some freezing time and you are done!
Eat them fast, because they melted fast!
