Strawberry passion fruit popsicles
Description
The popsicles are made by blending ripe strawberries with water and a sweetener like sugar or honey, adjusting sweetness to taste. Passion fruit juice, fresh or from concentrate, adds a tropical, slightly tart flavor. These two mixtures can be poured into popsicle molds to freeze as single flavors or alternated in layers to create a striped effect, partially freezing each layer before adding the next to prevent mixing.
Alternately, strawberry and passion fruit juices can be combined for a uniform flavor if desired. Using paper cups as molds allows gradual layering, and inserting sticks after partially freezing helps maintain upright positioning.
These popsicles provide a fruity, refreshing snack with a balance of creamy strawberry and bright passion fruit flavors. The use of fresh fruit and homemade juice allows customization of sweetness and textures, including strawberry chunks if added.
Passion fruit juice can be prepared by mixing defrosted frozen passion fruit pulp with water and sugar to taste, with the option to add fresh passion fruit pulp or seeds for texture and intensity.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs strawberries washed and hulled, ripe, fresh
- 1 cup water
- ¼ to ½ cup sugar or honey
- 4 cups passion fruit juice fresh or from frozen concentrate
- 10-12 Popsicle Molds
- 10-12 disposable paper cups
- 10-12 Popsicle Sticks
Instructions
- If making the layered popsicles, prepare the strawberry part of the popsicles by blending the strawberries (save a few if you want to dice them and add some strawberry chunks to the popsicles) with 1 cup of water and ¼ to ½ cup of sugar or honey. Taste and adjust the sweetness level based on your preference.
- Pour either of the strawberry mix or the passion fruit juice into each popsicle mold until it is half full. You can alternate and make some with a bottom layer of strawberry and some with a bottom layer of passion fruit. If using cups as molds, usually put them in the freezer for about an hour, and then add the popsicle stick (if not it will be slightly slanted – which is also fine). When the first layer is almost frozen, usually a few hours later, add the second layer of strawberry or passion fruit. Return them to the freezer and let them freeze completely before serving.
- For the option of combining the strawberry and passion fruit juice, just mix the juice together, and fill the molds. Or fill each mold with half of the strawberry mix, and immediately finish filling with the passion fruit juice. Place in the freezer and add the popsicles sticks after about an hour – or add them before if you don’t mind the sticks being slanted.
- For the easy option of using chopped strawberries and passion fruit juice, dice and slice the strawberries, then place the chopped strawberries in the popsicle molds and pour in the passion fruit juice. Place a popsicle stick in the middle of each mold. Place the popsicles in the freezer until completely frozen before serving, about 4 hours.
Notes
- Make passion fruit juice by combining defrosted frozen passion fruit pulp with water and sugar, adjusting sweetness as needed.
- Adding fresh passion fruit pulp or seeds to the juice can enhance flavor and texture.
