About This Recipe
The temperatures are starting to rise and summer is right around the corner so it’s time to stock the freezer with homemade fruit popsicles. Fruit-based popsicles are made by blending fresh or frozen fruits, fruit juices, yogurt, cream, and sweeteners such as sugar, honey, or maple syrup. The prepared fruit juice or fruit puree is poured into ice cream molds and then frozen until solid. You can make popsicles with a single type of fruit, or two, or three different kinds.
In this recipe, the pleasant pairing of sunny yellow pineapple and vibrant red strawberries is really eye-catching. Try this two-layer popsicle before the summer is over. I just can’t get enough of them!
