Best Jiggly Aquarium Pops Recipes

JIGGLY SHARK POPS

Steps:

• Bring the cranberry juice, blue drink and sugar to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Remove from the heat and slowly whisk in the gelatin; continue to whisk until dissolved. Pour the gelatin mixture into a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish. Refrigerate, stirring every 10 minutes, until the gelatin just begins to thicken, 30 to 45 minutes. (It should be thick, but still liquid and pourable.)
• Meanwhile, slice the pound cake into eight 1/4-inch-thick slices. Remove the push parts of eight 7 1/4-inch-tall pushable pop molds from the tubes. Push the circle side of each mold into a cake slice to make a circle that fits snugly in the mold. Return the push part to each tube.
• Add the blue candy melting wafers and coconut oil to a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring in between each, until melted and smooth, about 1 minute.
• Using a silicone brush, paint a 1/2-inch-thick strip on the exterior of the top of each tube with the melted candy. Coat with the white nonpareils (do not completely cover the melted candy). Let set, about 5 minutes. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the tiny crunchy candy into each mold. Freeze the molds while the gelatin sets.
• Place 1 gummy shark into each of the molds, then fill with the gelatin mixture. Tap each mold to release any air bubbles. Refrigerate until completely set and very firm, at least 3 hours. Top each pop with whipped cream before serving.

PUSHABLE ROSé POPS

Steps:

• Pour the juice into a medium saucepan and sprinkle over the gelatin. Let stand until the gelatin is absorbed, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add the superfine sugar and heat over low just until the gelatin and sugar dissolve, about 1 minute.
• Pour the gelatin mixture into an 8-inch square baking dish and stir in the wine. Refrigerate, stirring every 10 minutes, until the gelatin just begins to thicken, 30 to 45 minutes. (It should be thick, but still liquid and pourable.)
• Use one 7 1/4-inch-tall pushable pop mold to cut out 12 thin rounds of pound cake from the slices. Press 1 round in the bottom of each mold. Freeze the molds while the gelatin sets.
• Fill each mold halfway with the gelatin mixture, then press in 1 or 2 raspberries. Fill the rest of the way with the gelatin mixture, tapping each mold to release any air bubbles. Refrigerate until completely set and very firm, at least 3 hours. Serve.
