Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cups of cotton candy flavored soda
- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup of water
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon of cotton candy flavoring oil
- 1-2 drops of pink food coloring
- Popsicle molds

Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and 1/2 cup of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
- In a large bowl, mix 2 cups of cotton candy flavored soda, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon of cotton candy flavoring oil, and 1-2 drops of pink food coloring. Stir well to combine.
- Once the sugar syrup has cooled, add it to the soda mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
- Carefully pour the cotton candy mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top for the popsicles to expand. Insert popsicle sticks into each mold.
- Place the popsicle molds in the freezer and let them freeze for at least 4 hours, or until completely solid.
- To remove the popsicles from the molds, run the molds under warm water for a few seconds to loosen the popsicles. Gently pull the popsicles out and enjoy!
Cotton candy popsicles have a whimsical history, originating in the early 20th century when a creative chef at a carnival in Nashville, Tennessee, decided to transform the beloved spun sugar treat into a frozen delight. The idea quickly gained popularity, and soon, cotton candy popsicles became a staple at fairs and amusement parks across the United States. Today, these delightful treats can be found in trendy dessert shops and artisanal ice cream parlors, where chefs infuse the popsicles with vibrant colors and flavors, capturing the essence of the original cotton candy. For the best cotton candy popsicles, look for ones made with high-quality ingredients and a perfect balance of sweetness and nostalgia.
