Ingredients

  • 2 lbs of ripe fresh strawberries washed and hulled
  • 1 cup water
  • ¼ to ½ cup of sugar or honey
  • 4 cups of passion fruit juice fresh or from frozen concentrate*
  • 10-12 popsicle molds or disposable paper cups
  • 10-12 Popsicle Sticks

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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

  • To make the passion fruit juice using frozen pure passion fruit pulp: combine a defrosted 14 ounce pack of passion fruit pulp with 2 ½ cups of water and ½ cup of sugar – mix well, taste and adjust sugar to taste. If you want you can add the fresh pulp/seeds of 1-2 fresh passion fruits to the mix.
