Can you make popsicles with frozen fruit?
You can use either frozen or fresh fruits, just use what you see that looks good in the produce section that are different colors and then supplement with frozen fruit for the others. For these frozen blueberries and raspberries were used along with fresh kiwi and mango (but you can use other fruits you love).
Once done you can mix and match with a lot of different flavors, or just one and continue making other popsicle recipes for years to come….
How to Make Homemade Rainbow Popsicles
- Add the raspberries and 2 tbsp. of water to a blender.
- Puree until smooth and pour 1/4 way into the popsicle molds (you can do this in any order you like), put sticks in each hole.
- Freeze for at least 10-15 min. Rinse the blender and add the diced mango pieces with 1/4 c. water, puree until smooth.
- Pour into molds, replace popsicle holder (each time or they won’t go in at the end).
- Rinse blender and repeat with each other fruit. Kiwi won’t need added water and blueberries only need maybe 1 tbsp. water.
- Use pineapple or papaya too if you like those instead of the fruits we used here. Freeze total filed popsicles 2-3 hours until solid.
- If popsicles don’t slide our run the mold under warm water and they should come out easily.
