Summary
Fully flexible food-grade silicone means popsicles pop out without any wrestling. Reddit's BuyItForLife community specifically called out this brand for frustration-free removal.
Wirecutter's top pick after testing 31 molds and making nearly 200 ice pops. Compact tray, effective drip catcher, and consistent results set it apart from the competition.
Pros
- Removing popsicles is dramatically easier than plastic molds
- Available through eco-conscious retailers like EarthHero and ZeroWasteStore
- Flexible silicone doesn't become brittle at freezing temperatures
- Durable, reusable, and low-waste design
- Most consistent and easy-to-eat pops in rigorous head-to-head testing
- Compact tray design with effective drip catcher
- Great shape that produces uniform popsicles
- Dishwasher safe
Cons
- Higher price point than budget silicone kits
- Softer molds can be harder to fill without spilling
- Less widely available than mainstream brands
- Plastic mold body can sometimes be finicky for pop removal compared to pure silicone
- Not a fully silicone design — silicone molds release more easily
- Classic shape may not appeal to kids who want fun novelty designs
Our take
If you've ever had a popsicle stuck in a plastic mold, Ecozoi is the upgrade you need — the all-silicone build makes removal genuinely effortless.
If you want one mold that just works without fuss, Tovolo is the answer — Wirecutter tested more popsicle molds than anyone should have to, and this one won decisively.
