Equipment

  • 10 Paper Cups

Ingredients

  • 6 packs of assorted flavored Kool-Aid

  • 3 cups sugar

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the Kool-Aid mix, hot water, and sugar until fully incorporated. This should take about 2-3 minutes of stirring.
  • Divide the mixture evenly among 10 paper cups, making sure they are all filled to an equal level.
  • Arrange the cups on a flat surface and carefully place them in the freezer. Allow for enough space between each cup to accommodate air circulation as they freeze. The Lilly Dilly Freeze Cups should be left in the freezer for at least 4 hours until solid.

Notes

Making Lilly Dilly Freeze Cups is easy, but here are some tips to keep in mind when making them:
  • Use cold or icy water instead of hot water when mixing the ingredients. This will help make sure your cups freeze quickly and evenly.
  • To prevent messes, place a thin layer of parchment paper between each cup before freezing.
  • If you’re making a variety of flavors, use different colored cups to make it easier to tell them apart.
  • To make sure your Lilly Dilly Freeze Cups are extra cold and refreshing, freeze them for at least 4 hours.
  • When adding mix-ins or toppings, be sure not to overfill the cups.
  • If you’d like a creamy version, add some whipped cream or ice cream on top after they’re frozen.
  • To make it even sweeter, drizzle some honey or syrup on top of your Lilly Dilly Freeze Cups before serving.
