Pineapple Kiwi Popsicles

Pineapple Kiwi Popsicles are a perfectly fruity treat. So refreshing, and there are only two ingredients in this recipe. They’ll have you lazing in the afternoon sun in no time.

Do you know I had never made popsicles until I was pretty dang old-ish? Now, it is my favorite thing to do, especially in the hot summer.

Any fruit can be used and what could be healthier than fruit on a stick?

My new creation is – TaDa – Pineapple Kiwi Popsicles. Fresh fruit is used for these popsicles, and they take about 15 minutes.

The time is from cutting up the pineapple, so if you can do it in 10 minutes, then … great!

Can you imagine the two-ingredient fruit combo?

Pineapple and kiwi are perfect together! Sweet pineapple and mildly tart kiwi are a match made in heaven.

I’ve been making these popsicles for over 5 years. It’s true that I make other ones too but that’s because popsicles are so darn delicious.

I mean how can you beat fresh cold fruit on a stick.

Chef’s Tips

You really do need a food processor to handle all of the fruit for this recipe. It’s a lot and you don’t want to add any liquid.

The shape of the food processor is nice and wide with powerful blades and motors. A blender just won’t take care of the job.

This recipe says it makes 8 popsicles. I’ve actually made 10 with the classic molds and you know it depends on the size of the pineapple.

This time around I made 7 popsicles with these larger molds but my pineapple was on the smaller size. So anyway, just explaining.

If you have extra juice than you have popsicle molds just put the extra in the refrigerator.

When the first set of popsicles freeze remove one or two popsicles, or whatever you need, from the molds and place them in a freezer bag.

Now pour your extra popsicle juice into the molds and freeze those too.

See? Easy to work with and you get to use all of your pure fruit popsicle juice.

So get on to the actual recipe so pull out your cutting board and take care of that pineapple.

Ingredients

• Pineapple are large versatile fruit that have a unique sweet and slightly tart flavor.
• Kiwis are complex with a sweet and tart flavor.

Instructions

• That is it! 2 ingredients.
• It’s easier to handle if you cut the pineapple and kiwi into chunks.
• Place the fruit in a food processor, chopper, blender. I used the Ninja and it really makes a smooth job of this process. Here is the one that I have. Ninja Master Blender.
• After you have the fruit all blended – pour it through a sieve. I also rub my fingers around in the sieve and get as much juice as I can. You won’t have very much pulp left when you are done. Don’t worry about exact measurements.
• Pour into your popsicle molds and freeze at least 6 hours.
• To remove the popsicles from the molds run hot water on the underside first. The round ones that I use in the photos come out really quick.
• You can either leave the popsicles in the molds until you’re ready to eat them or you can take the frozen popsicles out of the mold and put them in a freezer bag.  Replace in the freezer.

Can you believe how easy that was? If you just read through and didn’t get to make the pops yet you still got to see how two varieties of fruit can come together so perfectly.

Use your imagination and think up two kinds of fruit that you think would go well together. I bet you can create a recipe too!
