Equipment
- Blender
- Popsicle Sticks
- Small Plastic Cups
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Mango
- 6 oz Pineapple Juice
- ½-1 cup Strawberries about 5 strawberries
- ½ teaspoon Lemonade Concentrate Powder fresh lemon juice
- ¼ cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Honey
Instructions
Strawberry "Compote"
- Roughly chop strawberries and place in small sauce spot on medium heat.
- Add water and honey and stir until the strawberries begin to release their moisture.
- While the strawberries cook down, mash them with a fork or masher to help with creating a smoother consistent sauce.
- Allow time for the sauce to cool, set aside until assembly.
Frozen Mango
- In a blender add mango, pineapple juice and lemonade powder (or fresh lemon juice). Blend until smooth, the consistency should be like a slushy. Add more frozen fruit or liquid if the consistency is not smooth.
Homemade Fruity Popsicle Assembly
- Using a small baking tray, line with the small plastic cups (this recipe makes about ten popsicles). Evenly pour the mango slush mixture into each cup.
- After the strawberry sauce has completely cooled, evenly distribute that into each cup. This will create a pretty "swirl" of colors and you can place the tray in the freezer for at least thirty minutes to one hour.
- After the allotted time has passed, place the popsicles gently into the cups. The consistency should not be completely frozen but firm enough to allow the popsicle stick to stand firm.
- Allow two to four hours for freezing time and you are ready to enjoy your homemade fruity popsicles!
