Simona, creator of the social media account @glamourandcrumbles, shared a viral trick using canned whipped cream to make quick summer popsicles for children. The recipe was published on the CADENA 100 website on August 9, 2026, by writer Noelia Borghini as parents search for simple ways to beat the summer heat.
The simple snack requires no special machines, whipping of cream, or weighing of ingredients. Parents need only a can of whipped cream, popsicle sticks, and decorative toppings such as colorful sprinkles, edible pearls, or sweet decorations.
Simona explained that the technique converts an ordinary kitchen item into a frozen treat without abusing sugar. The spray cream, often used to decorate desserts, coffee, cakes, or eaten directly from the bottle, creates a creamy popsicle base with a light and airy texture.
Preparation steps for frozen popsicles
To make the popsicles, the bottle of whipped cream must first be shaken well. The cream is then dispensed onto a tray lined with baking paper, or into small cups or molds, forming a creamy cloud shape.
A stick is inserted into the center of each cream mound, and the shape is adjusted using a spoon. Decorative elements such as classic sprinkles, crunchy balls, mini stars, syrups, or crushed cookies are sprinkled on top after securing the stick.
The assembled popsicles are placed into the freezer for a couple of hours. As they freeze, the toppings combine with the cream to form a crunchy, visual topping.
Advantages of using spray cream
Using store-bought canned whipped cream offers several practical benefits for parents looking for quick snacks when they want a sweet treat without cooking. The method avoids dirtying the kitchen, saves time, and requires no electric mixer or blender.
Because the canned cream is already sweetened, parents do not need to measure or add extra sugar. The process creates a cold, creamy popsicle with an airy texture to refresh children on hot summer afternoons.
