Making Popsicles
These tropical kiwi mango raspberry popsicles are made up of some of my favorite summer fruits. In fact, swap some of your favorite fruits out in this recipe and make these cool treats your own. The treats are so easy to make. Clearly, the wait will be the hardest part of this recipe. However, the wait will be well worth it!
- Decide on your fruits and juice for your tropical treat. I chose mango, kiwi, and raspberry because they are plentiful this time of the year. Honestly, popsicles can be made year round using fresh or frozen fruits, along with fresh, frozen or can juice.
- Arrange the mango, kiwi, and raspberry evenly throughout the mold.
- Pour juice evenly into molds. Place the popsicle sticks in the center of each mold. Cover the top of the mold with the lid, however, if you don’t have the lid cover each mold with a small piece of foil. Freeze 6 to 8 hours or until firm.
- Once the popsicles are completely frozen, it’s now time to remove the tropical treats from their molds. Remove the lid or foil and place bottoms of popsicles under cold running water (warm water will cause the popsicles to melt too quickly) until loosened. Dip the mold for five seconds, then press firmly on bottoms to release (Do not twist or pull sticks too hard).
Tropical kiwi mango raspberry popsicles are sure to become a family favorite. Furthermore, it’s low in calories and they’re good for you. These healthy popsicles work great with any combination of fruits. Therefore, choose any juice or flavored beverage that tastes best with your choice of fruits. Here’s another cold treat you are sure to love, “Popsicles, Nana’s Secret Weapon!”.
