Yes! Some popular choices include berries, mangoes, peaches, and passion fruit. The options are endless, so feel free to get creative with your fruit combinations!

Can I make creamsicles without a popsicle mold?

Yes, if you don't have a popsicle mold, you can use small disposable paper cups or ice cube trays with popsicle sticks inserted. Silicone molds are also a great option as they make it easier to remove the creamsicles once frozen.
