Thanks in advance.

dunno if you can buy LC icepops - I have seen Sugar-free ones. You can
always make your own LC popsicles by freezing whatever floats yer boat :o)

I don't know what Jello Light is - you should look on the packages for sugar
content. Is Jello Light a US product? I buy "Sugar-Free Jello", it is
sugar-free but has aspertame and gives me cravings so I really don't use it
much.

There was a recent thread where sombody here was going to try it.
Apparently there is a question as to whether Kool-Aid with artificial
sweetener will freeze properly. So, whoever that was, report!

Years (too many) ago, I liked frozen grape Kool-Aid better than any
store-bought popsicle. Don't need or want them any more though.

Does bourbon freeze?

You can buy sugar-free Popsicles in supermarkets around here, no
problem.  They definitely use aspartame and acesulfane K as
sweeteners. (I can't tell for sure if that's all since the ingredients
list is partially under the pull-tab section of cardboard you remove
to open the box.  Probably the full list is available on the web
somewhere.)

Regular Kool-Aid made with sugar makes a fine substitute for regular
Popsicles when frozen.  The texture of these "Kool-Aid cubes" is fine.
Sugar-free Kool-Aid, however, has a problem with texture since it's
the sugar that softens things.  As you might expect, sugar-free comes
out like a solid cube of ice.  That's harder than most people want.

The suggestion was made in this newsgroup to add some unflavored
gelatin to the mix before freezing.  I haven't tried it myself, since
the sugar-free Popsicles are convenient, have the right consistency
already and bring back childhood memories of those exact flavors.  

In the discussions on making sugar-free ice cream, people reported
better texture from adding alcohol to the mix before freezing.

Luna posted about making some herself.  try googling and read the suggestions
might help you to find some recipes.
