I love my sugar free popsicles but they’re getting more expensive (as is everything else). I got the molds to make homemade popsicles but I’m getting blocks of ice that separates the ice and the flavoring as it melts.
Why does it do that?
In: Chemistry
Depends on what kind you were getting.
Sugar is important to the chemistry, but in some cases they’re also being agitated as they freeze to trap air in which provides a smoother texture as well.
There are various additives that can be used for that as well, thickening agents mostly, which don’t really freeze at the same temperature so you have wayer frozen inside a sort of….mesh or skeleton I guess you could say of the thickener. That keeps it from being a solid block because it can break smoothly along those lines.
