Pineapple Ice Pops Recipes

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the buttermilk, pineapple, sugar, vanilla and salt; mix well. Pour about 1/3 cup into each cup or mold; insert sticks into cups or top molds with holders. Freeze until solid.

Steps:

• In a food processor, combine pineapple chunks, milk, and sugar; pulse until almost smooth, with some chunks of pineapple remaining.
• Pour half the mixture into a medium bowl (or a glass measuring cup for easy pouring). Pulse remaining mixture until completely smooth; add to mixture in bowl.
• Divide evenly among eight 3-ounce molds or paper cups, and insert wooden sticks. Freeze until solid, at least 4 hours or up to 2 weeks (cover with plastic wrap).

Steps:

• Cook the coconut milk, sugar and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely melted, about 5 minutes. Let cool completely at room temperature, at least 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, roughly chop 3/4 of the pineapple half (you should have a heaping 2 cups of chopped pineapple). Cut the remaining pineapple into 1/3-inch pieces (about the size of a large corn kernel).
• Puree the cooled coconut milk mixture and roughly chopped pineapple in a blender until completely smooth, scraping down the sides partway through if needed. Transfer the mixture to a large liquid measuring cup with a pouring spout. Stir in the remaining pineapple pieces and the cocoa nibs.
• Pour the mixture into the molds, leaving 1/4 inch of space at the top (the mixture will expand). Insert the sticks. Freeze until solid, 5 hours to overnight. Unmold, and enjoy immediately.

Steps:

• Combine pineapple, yogurt, coconut milk, and vanilla in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into ice pop molds and freeze until completely frozen, 4 to 6 hours.

Steps:

• To Make RASPBERRY-JALAPENO ICE POPS: In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup cold water. Stir over medium heat until all of the sugar is dissolved. It's not necessary to boil. Remove from heat and cool.
• Puree raspberries in a food processor. Strain to remove all seeds, pressing through a fine mesh to squeeze all of the puree out. Measure out 1 cup of the puree, stir in the lime juice and set aside.
• Process the jalapeno pepper in a food processor until minced. Measure out 1/2 cup of the cooled simple syrup, add to the processor and pulse until pepper is completely pulverized.
• Mix pepper syrup with raspberry-lime puree. Stir in cold water to make 2 cups; stir well to combine. Pour mixture into ice pop molds and freeze at least 4 hours or until solid.
• To Make LEMON-BASIL ICE POPS: In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup sugar and 1 cup cold water. Stir over medium heat until all of the sugar is dissolved. It's not necessary to boil. Remove from heat. Tear basil leaves, stir into syrup and allow to steep in syrup for 2 hours.
• Strain cooled syrup to remove basil leaves. Measure out 3/4 cup of the basil syrup and combine with lemon juice and 1 1/4 cups cold water. Pour into ice pop molds and freeze for at least 4 hours or until solid.
• To Make GRAPEFRUIT-MINT ICE POPS: In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup sugar and 1 cup cold water. Stir over medium heat until all of the sugar is dissolved. It's not necessary to boil. Remove from heat. Tear mint leaves, stir into syrup and allow to steep in syrup for two hours.
• Strain cooled syrup to remove mint leaves. Measure out 1 cup of the mint syrup and combine with grapefruit juice. Pour into ice pop molds and freeze for at least 4 hours or until solid.
• To Make ICED-TEA POPS WITH FRUIT: Process fruit and sugar for 30 seconds in a blender or food processor. If it foams, allow foam to settle. Blend in tea.
• Pour mixture into pop molds, leaving a little room at the top. Freeze until solid, at least two hours.
• To Make FROZEN YOGURT POPS WITH BLACKBERRIES: Rinse the lemon, then peel it, scraping off the white pith. (This recipe uses only the peel, so save the lemon for a different use.).
• Combine the water and sugar in a small saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring, until the mixture comes to a boil and the sugar has dissolved.
• Add the lemon peel, lower the heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
• Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve, then refrigerate until chilled.
• Add the yogurt and honey to the chilled syrup and stir until thoroughly combined. Put a bit of the yogurt mixture into each of the molds, to a height of about 3/4 inch. Freeze until the mixture begins to set, about 40 minutes.
• If the blackberries are big, cut them in half. Divide the blackberries among the molds, then pour in the remaining yogurt mixture, dividing it evenly among the molds.
• If using conventional molds, snap on the lid and freeze until solid, 3 to 4 hours. If using glasses or other unconventional molds, freeze until the pops are beginning to set (45 minutes to 1 hour), then insert the sticks and freeze until solid, 3 to 4 hours. If using an instant ice pop maker, gently fold the blackberries into the yogurt prior to filling the molds and follow the manufacturer's instructions.
• To Make SPICY PINEAPPLE ICE POPS: Combine the water and sugar in a small saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring, until the mixture comes to a boil and the sugar has dissolved. Add the serrano, lower the heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Let cool to room temperature. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve.
• Finely dice 1-1/2 cups of the pineapple and coarsely chop the rest. Mixed the diced pineapple with the chile and salt and set aside. Put the coarsely chopped pineapple in a blender or food processor, pour in the syrup, lime juice, and blend until smooth.
• Divide the blended mixture among the molds, leaving enough room for the diced pineapple. If using conventional molds, don't snap on the lids yet. Freeze until the mixture has a slushy consistency, about 30 minutes. (This will prevent the diced pineapple from sinking to the bottom when added.).
• Drop the diced pineapple into the ice pops, dividing it evenly among the molds. If it floats, push it down with a small spoon or an ice pop stick.
• If using conventional molds, snap on the lid and freeze until solid, about 5 hours. If using glasses or other unconventional molds, freeze until the pops are beginning to set (45 minutes to 1 hour), then insert the sticks and freeze until solid, 3 to 4 hours. If using an instant ice pop maker, mix the diced pineapple in with the blended mixture, then pour into the molds and follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Steps:

• Drain the can of crushed pineapple so all the juice runs out.
• Put all the ingredients in a medium-sized bowl and mix them together.
• Spoon the mixture into the paper cups. Fill them almost to the top.
• Stretch a small piece of plastic wrap across the top of each cup.
• Using the popsicle stick, poke a hole in the plastic wrap. Stand the stick straight up in the center of the cup.
• Put the cups in the freezer until the mixture is frozen solid.
• Remove the plastic wrap and peel away the paper cup and enjoy.

Steps:

• Whisk together coconut milk and mango pulp in a 4-cup measuring cup. Add enough pineapple juice to make 4 cups. Mix again.
• Pour into popsicle molds and freeze until solid, at least 4 hours.

• Remove the plastic wrap and peel away the paper cup. You'll have pineapple pops to eat and share!
• If you like, you can make this recipe using plastic Popsicle molds instead of the paper cups and Popsicle sticks. I always have such a hard time getting them out the holders though.
