Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh or frozen fruit (e.g., strawberries, mango, or mixed berries)
- 1/4 cup sugar or honey, or to taste
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup water (optional, for thinner consistency)
Instructions
- If using fresh fruit, wash and hull or peel as needed. If using frozen fruit, let it thaw slightly.
- Place fruit, sugar or honey, and lemon juice in a blender. Add water if a thinner puree is desired.
- Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness or acidity.
- For slush: Pour into a shallow dish and freeze for 2-3 hours, stirring every 30 minutes to break up ice crystals, until slushy.
- For ice pops: Pour into ice pop molds, insert sticks, and freeze for at least 4 hours or until solid.
Tips
- Use ripe fruit for best flavor.
- Strain seeds if using berries for a smoother texture.
- Store leftover puree in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- For creamy pops, substitute half the fruit with yogurt or coconut milk.
