Popped kernels freeze relatively well in comparison. This is simply because unpopped kernels do not freeze well due to losing a lot of the vital moisture that it needs during the heating and popping process.
POPCORN TIME FREEZE HOW TO
Now you know how to freeze it, we’ve got our 3 top tips which we strongly recommend following when freezing popcorn to have the best results:īefore freezing your popcorn, you should pop the kernels first. Once this is done, you can place the freezer bag in the freezer.
POPCORN TIME FREEZE CRACK
If your lid doesn’t have a steam vent then try to crack the lid open a bit to let the steam out. When the kernels begin popping, start gently shaking the pan to encourage the un-popped kernels back to the bottom of the pot.Wait half a minute or so, and then return the pot to a medium heat. Shake the pot until the kernels are in a single layer on the bottom. When those first few kernels pop, remove the pot from the heat, add in the rest of the kernels and place the lid on the pot. Use a deep pan that will comfortably fit the popcorn kernels in a single layer on the bottom. Heat the oil and a few of the popcorn kernels in a saucepan over medium-high heat.If popping the corn a different way, do that and then skip to step 4. I do this on the stovetop, so I'm providing instructions for that method here. The best way to cool your popcorn and make sure it’s dry is to spread it out on a baking tray.

Once your corn is popped, it needs to cool before you add the fruit powder, as the powder clumps like crazy with any moisture.

You can do this whichever way you want, I went with the stovetop method ‘cause I always seem to burn it in the microwave. This is super simple to make, and a fun and easy recipe to get the kids involved with. If you do, I’d love for you to let me know in the comments how it went! Making the Fruity Popcorn You could also experiment with using powdered sugar alternatives, but that’s not my area of expertise and I haven’t tried it yet. Some fruit powders are more on the tart side than others, so you may need to add a little more. You can adjust the amount of sugar in this recipe to suit your own tastes and the fruit powder you’re using. If it’s a pale-coloured powder (like, say, passionfruit or pineapple) and you really want it to be yellow to match, you could add a little powdered colouring, but it’s not necessary. I went with strawberry fruit powder for the flavoured popcorn in these photos, but there are so many different flavours to choose from.
