Silicone popsicle mold – ice cream bars, ice cream tubes

What is an ice cream mold? What are the types of popsicle molds? And how to choose the best popsicle mold box? With the scorching summer heat, nothing cools you down more effectively than a refreshing, delicious ice cream bar. Making ice cream at home not only allows you to control the ingredients but is also an enjoyable experience. To create perfect ice cream bars, the ice cream mold is an indispensable tool. 

What is an ice crean mold?

An ice cream mold is a tool used to shape ice cream, commonly for popsicles. They are made from safe materials such as hard plastic or silicone to pour the ice cream mixture into, insert the stick, and place it in the freezer to solidify, then easily remove the finished product with an attractive and uniform shape.

Popular types of popsicle molds

There are three most common types of popsicle molds available on the market today, classified by material:

Plastic molds:
Often inexpensive, available in a variety of colors and shapes. However, removing the ice cream may be difficult and often requires dipping the mold in warm water.

Metal (stainless steel) molds:
Durable, rust-free, and conduct heat well, helping ice cream freeze faster. However, they are more expensive and do not have as many fun shapes as plastic or silicone molds.

Silicone molds:
Highly flexible, making ice cream removal extremely easy without warm water. Silicone molds also come in many unique shapes and are easy to clean. However, due to their softness, they may lack rigidity when removing ice cream.

Why choose silicone popsicle molds instead of plastic or stainless steel?​​​​​​​

Although plastic and stainless steel molds are inexpensive, silicone molds are now preferred by many people. So should you choose silicone popsicle molds over plastic or metal ones? Here are the outstanding advantages that make silicone ice cream molds the ideal choice:

Easy ice cream removal:

Thanks to their flexibility and elasticity, silicone popsicle trays allow you to remove ice cream effortlessly without force or warm water, unlike plastic and stainless steel molds.

Safe and durable:

Silicone withstands high and low temperatures, contains no harmful chemicals, does not rust or fade, ensuring safety and long-term use.

Easy to clean:

Silicone ice cream molds do not retain odors and can be cleaned easily by hand or in the dishwasher.

Variety of designs:

Silicone allows the creation of many unique shapes, far more diverse than plastic or stainless steel molds.

Frequently Asked Questions about silicone popsicle molds​​​​​​​

Are silicone ice cream molds safe?

Yes. Silicone molds are made from food-grade silicone, ensuring safety, especially when making ice cream for children. Silicone must meet food safety certifications (FDA, LFGB, or equivalent) and contain no BPA or harmful substances like heavy metals.

How to clean silicone tube ice cream molds?

Wash the mold with warm water and mild soap, or place it in the dishwasher. Silicone is easy to clean and odor-resistant. To deodorize a new mold, soak it in boiling water with a little white vinegar.

Do you need to apply oil to the mold?

No. Silicone molds have a naturally non-stick surface, so there’s no need for added oil or butter. The ice cream will easily come out after freezing.

Are silicone ice cream molds durable?

Silicone molds are highly durable, withstanding extremely low freezer temperatures (below 0°C, even −20°C or −40°C) and high temperatures when cleaning or pouring boiling water (~100–120°C for sterilization).

What else can popsicle molds be used for?

Besides making ice cream, silicone molds can be used for ice tube molds, jelly molds, pudding, frozen yogurt, or other frozen desserts.
