Kiwi and Pineapple Popsicles are a sweet and tart frozen treat that will cool you off all summer long.
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.
1whole pineapple, peeled, cored, and chopped (about 5 cups)
2tablespoonsclover honey
6ripe 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.
