Once fully frozen, transfer them to an airtight container or freezer bag, placing parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking. Label the container with the date, as these popsicles stay fresh for up to two months in the freezer. When ready to enjoy, let them sit at room temperature for a minute or two for the perfect biteable texture.
