Gazing out the window on a hot summer day, I find myself longing for a tropical island paradise surrounded by crystal clear turquoise waters.  Palm trees, tropical fruit, paradise….

Just then I look out my window and watch the shadows of yet another heatwave pass by, in this hellacious desert.  I developed this tropical inspired ice pop as my own mini get away.  On those long hot summer days, while my Munchkin is napping, I lay on my love seat and enjoy this unbelievable frozen treat.  Just the soothing sounds of a clicking ceiling fan as I savor every moment and allow myself to be swept away to my own little paradise.  If only for just a moment.

Kiwi and pineapple combine in a sweet and tart ice pop.   My mom is a huge fan!  She really loves these popsicles.  Munchkin is really enamored with them, she calls them her “Green Tickles”.  Which completely tickles me.

Enjoy them, I know you will!

Prep Time 5 minutes
Inactive Time 12 hours
Total Time 12 hours 5 minutes
Course Dessert
Cuisine American
Method Freezer
Servings 10 4 ounce popsicles

Ingredients
 

  • 1 whole pineapple, peeled, cored, and chopped (about 5 cups)
  • 2 tablespoons clover honey
  • 6 ripe kiwi, peeled and sliced (reserve 10 slices)

Instructions
 

  • BLEND FRUIT: Add the chopped pineapple, 2 tablespoons clover honey, and the sliced kiwi (except the 10 reserved slices) to a blender. Blend until smooth, or pulse for a slightly chunky texture.
  • ADD KIWI SLICES: Place 1 kiwi slice into the bottom of each popsicle mold. Tilt the mold slightly so the slice rests along the side.
  • FILL MOLDS: Pour the fruit mixture evenly into the molds, leaving about ยผ inch of space at the top.
  • INSERT STICKS: Cover the molds with lids or aluminum foil and insert popsicle sticks.
  • FREEZE: Freeze for at least 12 hours, or until fully frozen. For best results, freeze up to 24 hours.
  • SERVE: Run warm water over the outside of the molds for about 10 seconds to release the popsicles. Serve immediately.

Donna’s Notes

Make-Ahead: These popsicles can be made several days in advance and stored in the freezer until ready to serve.
Storage: Store popsicles in a freezer-safe container or bag for up to 2 weeks.
Freezing Tip: If the popsicles stick to the mold, run warm water over the outside for a few seconds to release them easily.
Ingredient Tip: Use a ripe pineapple for the sweetest flavor and smoothest texture.
