Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized (about 4 cups chopped) Fresh pineapple
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 6 large Mint leaves
- 0.5 cup Water
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the pineapple. Cut off the top and bottom, then stand the pineapple upright and slice off the skin, following the contours of the fruit. Cut the pineapple in half lengthwise, remove the core, and chop it into small chunks.
Step 2
Add the chopped pineapple, honey, fresh lemon juice, mint leaves, and water into a blender.
Step 3
Blend the mixture on high speed for 1-2 minutes, until smooth and all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Step 4
Taste the blended mixture, and if desired, adjust the sweetness with additional honey or add more lemon juice to taste.
Step 5
Pour the pineapple mixture evenly into popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top for expansion as they freeze. Tap the molds gently on the countertop to remove any air bubbles.
Step 6
Insert popsicle sticks into each mold.
Step 7
Place the popsicle molds in the freezer and allow them to freeze until solid, about 4-6 hours or overnight for best results.
Step 8
To remove the popsicles from the molds, run the molds under warm water for a few seconds to loosen them, then gently pull them out.
Step 9
Serve immediately or store popsicles in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 weeks.
