Frozen Dino Pops

Turn snack time into a prehistoric adventure with these Frozen Dino Pops. Made with your favorite milk, a touch of honey or maple syrup, and Great Lakes Wellness Beef Gelatin, these colorful dinosaur-shaped pops are simple to prepare and fun for the whole family.

Makes 4 pops, depending on the size of the molds

Ingredients

• 1 cup milk of choice
• 1 cup cold water
• 3 tablespoons honey or pure maple syrup
• 3 tablespoons (36 g) Great Lakes Wellness Beef Gelatin
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Natural food coloring, in 3 colors

Directions

1. Pour the cold water into a medium saucepan. Sprinkle the Beef Gelatin evenly over the surface and let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
2. Add the milk, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk to combine.
3. Heat over medium-low heat for 3–4 minutes, whisking gently, until the gelatin has dissolved completely and the mixture is hot. Do not allow it to simmer or boil.
4. Remove from the heat and divide the mixture evenly among three glasses or liquid measuring cups.
5. Add a different natural food coloring to each glass. Use a handheld milk frother or small whisk to blend until the color is even.
6. Pour the mixture into dinosaur popsicle molds while it is still warm, then insert the popsicle sticks.
7. Freeze for 3–4 hours, or until completely frozen.
8. To release, run the outside of the molds under warm water for a few seconds and gently pull the pops free. Enjoy right away.

Store leftover pops in an airtight container or freezer bag in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
