Ingredients

Strawberry Mixture

  • 3 cups strawberries
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup

Mango Mixture

  • 3 cups cubed mango
  • 1/3 cup orange juice

Instructions

  1. Cook Strawberries: Add the strawberries, maple syrup, and lime juice to a small pot over medium heat and let cook for 5-10 minutes until the strawberries begin to soften. This step is optional but helps intensify the strawberry flavor.
  2. Blend Strawberry Mixture: Transfer the cooked strawberry mixture to a blender and blend until smooth.
  3. Fill Popsicle Moulds with Strawberry Layer: Divide the blended strawberry mixture evenly into your popsicle molds.
  4. Blend Mango Mixture: Clean the blender, add the cubed mango and orange juice, then blend until smooth.
  5. Add Mango Layer to Moulds: Divide the mango mixture evenly into the popsicle molds on top of the strawberry layer.
  6. Create Marble Effect (Optional): Use a knife or chopstick to gently swirl the mixtures within the molds to create a marble effect.
  7. Freeze Popsicles: Place the covers and popsicle sticks on the molds and freeze overnight until solid.
  8. Remove and Serve: To remove the popsicles, run the molds under warm water for 30 seconds to loosen, then gently pull the sticks to release.

Notes

  • Cooking the strawberries is optional but enhances flavor.
  • The marble effect adds visual appeal but can be skipped for layered popsicles.
  • Use fresh, ripe fruit for best taste and texture.
  • Maple syrup can be substituted with honey or agave nectar if preferred.
  • Freeze time requires at least 6-8 hours or overnight for best results.
