Instructions

1. Blend

  1. In the blender vase, combine acerola cerezas with 1½ cups of potable water. Blend slowly for about 90 seconds so the pulp breaks down without dissolving the drupes (seeds).If you have a juicer, press the fruit and then add the water to the extracted juice.

2. Sieve

  1. Strain the juice with a medium-mesh strainer, pressing the fruit to extract as much juice as possible.

3. Make pops

  1. Add sugar to taste and vanilla to the juice.Pour the juice into 6-8 popsicle molds (depending on the size you have), or into glasses with smooth tapered sides.Add the sticks.

4. Freeze and serve

  1. Freeze for 8 hours or overnight.To remove them from the mold, dip the mold in lukewarm water for a couple of seconds to loosen the popsicles and serve inmediately.

Notes

  • Use an equivalent amount of your favorite sweetener instead of sugar if you prefer it sugar-free.
