Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Dessert
Serves: 6 pops
Ingredients
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1/2 cup lemonade
- Ice pop molds
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all the necessary ingredients: 1 cup of pineapple juice, 1 cup of fresh blueberries, and 1/2 cup of lemonade. Make sure you have ice pop molds ready for filling.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the pineapple juice and lemonade. Stir well to ensure they are fully mixed.
- Next, gently fold in the blueberries into the juice mixture. Be careful not to crush the blueberries too much; you want them to remain mostly whole for texture and visual appeal.
- Using a funnel or a measuring cup with a spout, carefully pour the mixture into the ice pop molds, filling each mold about 3/4 full to allow for expansion as they freeze.
- Once the molds are filled, insert the sticks into the center of each mold. Make sure they are positioned upright and centered.
- Place the filled molds in the freezer and allow them to freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely solid.
- When you are ready to enjoy your ice pops, remove them from the freezer. To release the pops from the molds, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds to help loosen them.
- Gently pull on the sticks to remove the ice pops from the molds. If they are stubborn, you can twist them slightly as you pull.
- Serve the Pineapple Blueberry Lemonade Ice Pops immediately and enjoy the refreshing taste of summer!
Tips
- Choose Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, opt for fresh blueberries and 100% pure pineapple juice. The quality of your ingredients will greatly enhance the taste of your ice pops.
- Mix it Up: Feel free to experiment by adding other fruits like strawberries or raspberries to the mixture for a fun twist. Just make sure to adjust the sweetness if needed!
- Layered Pops: For a visually striking effect, you can layer the pineapple juice mixture with pureed blueberries in the molds. This adds a beautiful gradient and an extra burst of flavor.
- Freeze Time: If you're in a hurry, you can freeze the pops in shorter intervals. Just make sure they are solid before serving, which typically takes 4-6 hours.
- Easy Release: When removing the pops from the molds, running warm water over the outside for a few seconds will help loosen them without melting your treats too quickly.
- Storage: Keep any leftover pops in a sealed container in the freezer to maintain their freshness. They make for a quick and healthy snack anytime!
