I bought way too many peaches! I just couldn’t resist! But now, what to do with them – I can’t possibly eat them all! Ice pops of course!
Extra peaches plus 90 degree temps equal…peach ice pops, for sure!
I don’t need to add a lot of calories to make some super yummy ice pops. I can just let the natural peach flavor come through! This is easy to accomplish but baking (or grilling) the peaches before using them in the pops.
Peach Ice Pops with Honey & Thyme (makes 5 or 6)
- 5 medium ripe peaches, halved and pitted
- 2 Tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped small
Put the peaches, cut side down on a piece of parchment paper lining a baking sheet. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 20-25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes.
Put the peaches – skins and all – into a blender with all the ingredients except the thyme and blend until smooth. Add the thyme last so it won’t pulverize – just mix it in.
Pour the mixture into your pop molds and freeze overnight or per the manufacturer’s instructions.
Enjoy!!
Thanks for stopping by!

P.S. I hope by now you own an ice pop mold. If not, order one online or pick one up at HomeGoods – it is SO worth the purchase! I also own an ice shaver, but that’s a story for another day! ;)
