Instructions
- Place half of the fruit and all of the sugar, water, and lime juice into a blender and blend until smooth.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon remaining fruit into each popsicle mold, then add the blended mixture, leaving about ½-inch of headspace for expansion.
- Insert a popsicle stick into each mold and freeze until pops are solid, about 6 hours or overnight. To release ice pops from molds, run the bottom of the molds briefly under cold water.
Notes
- Nutrition facts are approximate and will change depending on the type of fruit you use.
- Instead of granulated sugar, use brown sugar, piloncillo, stevia, agave nectar, or artificial sweetener. Or omit sweetening altogether.
- Add some spice such as Tajín. Mango or watermelon with chili-lime seasoning are traditional and a favorite.
- Try other flavor boosters such fresh mint, edible flowers, vanilla, and cinnamon.
- Make boozy popsicles spiked with a splash of alcohol.
