Method
- Start by gathering your ingredients. You'll need all those colorful fruits: diced kiwi, watermelon, strawberries, and pineapple. Rinse them thoroughly and chop them into bite-sized pieces.
- Once your fruits are prepped, take a mixing bowl and combine all the diced fruits together. Gently toss them so they mix well without crushing the pieces. This mix of colors should look so vibrant!
- Next, you’ll need to prepare your cups. Grab five-ounce cups, which are the perfect size for pops. Fill each cup with the fruit mixture, leaving a little space at the top for the juice.
- Now, pour 1 tablespoon of fresh juice into each cup. This not only adds flavor but also helps to bind everything together. I like using pineapple juice for its sweetness, but feel free to use orange juice if you prefer.
- After adding the juice, take some craft sticks and insert them into the center of each cup. The fruit mixture helps hold the sticks in place, so they won’t topple over.
- Now it’s time to freeze! Place the cups in the freezer for a few hours, ideally until they are completely firm. This will ensure your pops are easy to remove later.
- When the pops are frozen solid, take them out of the freezer. To remove the pops from the cups, simply run them under warm water for a few seconds. This will loosen them up, making it easier to pull them out.
- Once removed, you can enjoy your Frozen Fruit Pops immediately! You can also store any extras in a zip-top bag or an airtight container for later.
- These pops are best enjoyed on a hot summer day, so gather your friends and family for a refreshing treat!
- And there you have it! A colorful, fruity, and oh-so-delicious way to cool down.
Notes
Here are some helpful tips to keep in mind when making Frozen Fruit Pops. These insights will help you get the best results each time you whip up a batch.
- Storage: Store leftover pops in an airtight container in the freezer to keep them fresh. They can be stored for about two weeks.
- Freezing: Ensure the pops are completely firm before removing them from the cups; otherwise, they may break apart.
- Pairing: These pops go wonderfully with a summer BBQ or picnic. Serve them alongside light snacks or salads for a refreshing contrast.
- Variations: Feel free to add yogurt to your fruit mix for a creamy texture. You can also layer different fruits for visual appeal.
- Serving Size: Each pop is a perfect single-serving treat, making them easy to grab and enjoy!
