Ingredients
Scale
- Fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced (or frozen)
- Mango, peeled and diced or pureed
- Kiwi, peeled and sliced or blended
- Blueberries, fresh or frozen
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) water or coconut water per fruit layer
Instructions
- Wash, peel, and slice or dice the strawberries, mango, kiwi, and blueberries as needed.
- Puree each fruit separately in a blender with about 1/4 cup (60 ml) of water or coconut water until smooth.
- Add 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup and about 1 teaspoon of fresh lime juice to each fruit puree. Taste and adjust sweetness or acidity as needed.
- Pour the strawberry puree evenly into the bottom of each popsicle mold, filling about 1/5 of the way. Freeze for about 30 minutes until the layer is firm but not rock solid.
- Repeat with mango puree for the second layer, freeze again for 30 minutes.
- Follow with kiwi and then blueberry purees, freezing between each layer.
- After the last layer, insert the popsicle sticks if molds don’t have built-in holders.
- Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight until fully set.
- To unmold, run the molds briefly under warm water to loosen the popsicles.
Notes
Use ripe fruit for natural sweetness and bright colors. Thin purees with water or coconut water to ensure smooth freezing. Freeze layers until firm but not rock solid to keep colors distinct. Run molds under warm water to easily unmold popsicles. Optional: add Greek or coconut yogurt for creaminess or fresh mint for herbal notes.
