Description
A creamy pineapple layer swirled with a fresh strawberry puree. You’re going to LOVE these fresh fruit popsicles!
Ingredients
Scale
For the Pineapple Layer:
- 1 1/2 cups cubed pineapple
- 1 cup diced mango
- 1/2 cup coconut milk (I prefer full-fat canned)
For the Strawberry Layer:
- 2 1/2 cups strawberries
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1 Tablespoon honey or agave (optional–only as needed)
Instructions
- Start With The Pineapple Layer. Add pineapple, mango, and coconut milk to a blender. Puree until completely smooth, adding additional coconut milk as needed. Taste the mixture, and blend in a drizzle of honey or agave, if needed. Pour the pineapple mixture into a liquid measuring cup or small pitcher and set aside while you make the strawberry layer.
- Next, Blend The Strawberry Layer. Add strawberries, orange juice, and honey or agave to a blender. Puree until completely smooth. Taste and add more honey or agave, if needed.
- Layer The Popsicles In The Popsicle Mold. Alternate scoops of the pineapple mixture and the strawberry mixture into popsicle molds. For more distinct layers, use a small funnel or a spoon to add the fruit purée mixtures. (If you pour straight from the blender/liquid measuring cup, they’re more likely to combine.)
- Finish & Freeze. Insert popsicle sticks and freeze until completely solid, at least 3-4 hours. To remove popsicles from the popsicle mold, run the sides of each well of the popsicle mold under cool water for a few seconds, then gently wiggle the popsicle stick side to side to loosen the pop. (If it’s not budging, run it under water for a few more seconds) Enjoy right away or transfer to a freezer bag to store 2-3 weeks.
Notes
- Don’t Have a Popsicle Mold? Try This! Pour the popsicle mixture into small paper cups (3 oz. size), and cover the cups with foil. Insert the popsicle sticks through the foil (it’ll help keep them upright) and place the cups on a level surface (like a plate, cutting board, or baking sheet) and freeze until completely solid. When you’re ready to serve, remove the foil and peel away the paper cup!
- Fresh or Frozen Fruit Works! You can make these with fresh or frozen fruit (or a combination). Your proportions will be the same. If you’re using frozen fruit, you’ll want to let it thaw, so it blends easier. Otherwise, you’ll need slightly more liquid to blend frozen fruit than fresh.
