Your favorite warm weather treat just got a major homemade upgrade courtesy of some staple ingredients we have a feeling are hiding in your fridge or pantry right now.

There’s nothing quite like the taste of fresh-from-the-freezer popsicles on a scorching hot afternoon. But instead of reaching for the store-bought kinds, try your hand at the homemade ones this summer. They’re the perfect make-ahead dessert for summer barbecues and come together with the help of citrus, stone fruits, berries, herbs, yogurt — pretty much anything you have lying around.

3. Freeze about 4 hours before serving, preferably overnight.
