Servings: 8
Equipment
- Popsicle Molds
Ingredients
- 2 Cups pineapple fresh, diced
- 2 Cups strawberries fresh, diced
- ¼ Cup mint leaves
- 1 lime juiced
- 1 Tablespoon lime zest
- 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
Instructions
- Cut the pineapple in half and peel. Dice the meat.
- Wash thoroughly the strawberries, remove the leaves from the top, and dice.
- Wash the lime and grate the zest. Cut the lime in half and juice it.
- Wash the mint leaves (stems discarded) and chop them roughly
- In a food processor, process the pineapple and the spearmint until smooth. You can add a splash of water now to help the food processor work. Put the mixture in a bowl and set aside.
- Process the strawberries, lime zest and juice until smooth.
- Try the 2 different fruit purées and, in case of needed, add a bit of sugar and mix until dissolved.
- In the popsicle moulds, pour some pineapple purée in each mould to create the first layer. Then pour the strawberry purée until you top it up.
- Freeze for 6 hours or until set before serving.
Notes
Strain the fruit mixes: Strain through a fine mesh colander before pouring them into the molds to get rid of the strawberry seeds and any unwanted fiber from the pineapple.
Taste before freezing: Adjust sweetness if your fruit is very tart.
Layer carefully: Use a spoon to help avoid mixing the layers.
Use silicone molds: They make it easier to remove the popsicles.
Add chunks of fruit: A few pieces of diced fruit add fun texture.
Freeze fully: Give them enough time to set completely before serving.
