Ultra's fresh fruit summer popsicles

With summer setting in, homemade popsicles are a treat to find when looking for an icy cold snack. You can make popsicles out of any fruit juice, yoghurt, iced coffee or chocolate milk and now chai latte popsicles are trending.

Pinna colada posicles

Pineapple and coconut milk are a great combination as a chilled drink and an even better one as frozen treats. These popsicles can be made with rum as traditionally made or without rum as virgin pinna colada lollies.

3 ½ Cups chopped pineapple
1 ½ Cup coconut milk
1 ½ Tbsp malibu or white rum (optional)

METHOD

1. Reserve ½ cup finely chopped pineapple and add the rest of the ingredients to your Ultra Mixer Grinder.
2. Blend to a smooth pure and strain
3. Add the reserved pineapple pieces to the base of the popsicle mould and pour in the juice
4. Freeze overnight or for a minimum of 4 hours and serve

Note: Alcohol has a very low freezing point so your lollies may not be frozen hard if it contains alcohol.

4 Cups mango (purée)
2 Cups passion fruit (juice)

METHOD

1. Pour in your passion fruit juice into the lolly mould
2. Slowly drizzle the mango purée
