Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups ripe pineapple chunks fresh or thawed frozen
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup
  • 1 cup coconut water or substitute with orange juice

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Popsicle molds
  • Measuring spoons
  • Juicer or citrus press
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Place the pineapple chunks, chopped mint leaves, lime juice, honey, and coconut water into your blender.
  2. Blend on high for about 30 seconds, until the mixture is fragrant, bright yellow with tiny green flecks of mint, and completely smooth.
  3. Pour the mixture slowly into popsicle molds, leaving about 1 centimeter of space at the top to allow for expansion.
  4. Gently tap the molds on the counter to release any trapped air bubbles and ensure an even fill.
  5. Insert the popsicle sticks into the molds, making sure they are centered and straight.
  6. Place the molds in the freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight, until the pops are fully solid and firm.
  7. To unmold, run the molds briefly under warm water for about 10 seconds, then gently pull on the sticks to release the pops.
  8. Let the pops sit at room temperature for a minute before serving to ensure they are perfectly firm and glossy.
