Ingredients
Fruit Puree
- 1 cup (170 grams) fresh or frozen strawberries, hulled and chopped
- 1 cup (170 grams) fresh or frozen mango, peeled and chopped
Liquids and Sweeteners
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) water (divided into 1/4 cup portions)
- 2 tablespoons (42 grams) honey or agave syrup (optional)
Instructions
- Blend Strawberries: In a blender, combine the strawberries with 1/4 cup of water and 1 tablespoon of honey, if using. Blend until smooth.
- Fill Molds with Strawberry Puree: Pour the strawberry puree into the popsicle molds, filling each mold halfway. If there is leftover strawberry puree, pour it into a measuring cup and set aside.
- Clean Blender and Blend Mangoes: Rinse the blender, then add the mango pieces, the remaining 1/4 cup of water, and 1 tablespoon of honey, if using. Blend until smooth.
- Layer Mango Puree: Pour the mango puree evenly into the popsicle molds over the strawberry layer. Optionally, spoon any leftover strawberry puree on top for extra flavor and layered effect.
- Insert Sticks and Freeze: Insert the popsicle sticks and freeze the molds for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until completely solid.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen fruit depending on availability and preference.
- Honey or agave syrup is optional; omit for a naturally sweetened treat.
- To easily remove popsicles from the molds, briefly run warm water on the outside of the molds.
- Feel free to experiment with other fruit combinations for variety.
- For a smoother texture, strain the purees before filling molds if desired.
