Fruit Popsicles
If you do not have an ice crusher, place the ice in a plastic bag and smash it with a hammer or other hard object to crush it before adding it to a blender. The ice is important for bulking up the mixture.

Homemade Popsicles
If you don't have a popsicle mold, don't fret. Just use paper cups! Allow the popsicles to freeze about 1 hour, then insert popsicle sticks just as you would in the original recipe. If you don't have popsicle sticks, try plastic spoons. Anything that stays in the center of the popsicle and makes a decent handle will work.
