Peach Guava Pops Recipes

PEACH-GUAVA POPS

Steps:

• Purée chopped peaches with 2 tablespoons lime juice. In a large bowl, toss sliced peaches with sugar, salt, and lime zest. Stir in peach purée; toss to combine. Let stand, stirring occasionally, until sugar has dissolved and peaches are glossy, about 20 minutes.
• Strain mixture through a coarse-mesh sieve, pressing lightly to extract as much juice as possible, and reserving peaches. Stir together strained peach juice (you should have about 3/4 cup), guava juice, and remaining 1/4 cup lime juice.
• Divide reserved peaches evenly among ice-pop molds; top with juice mixture. Freeze until firm, at least 6 hours and up to 5 days.

GRAPE, HONEY AND YOGURT POPS

Steps:

• Puree the grapes in a food processor or blender (you'll have about 2 cups.) Transfer to a medium-size pot and bring to a boil. Boil the grapes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has thickened and reduced to about 1 1/2 cups, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, stir in the sugar and honey and let cool to room temperature.
• Fold in the yogurt just until nicely swirled, then spoon into popsicle molds. Cover with foil, insert popsicle sticks and freeze for 4 to 6 hours or until set.

FRUIT JUICE "GUMMIES"

Steps:

• 1. Lightly coat 16 tartlet molds or mini-muffin tins with oil.
• 2. Place 1/4 cup of the juice in a medium bowl and sprinkle in the gelatin. Let sit for 1 minute.
• 3. Meanwhile, in a small pan, bring the remaining juice to a boil. Add it to the gelatin mixture, stirring until the gelatin is dissolved.
• 4. Spoon the mixture into the molds. Chill in the refrigerator until set, 2 hours.
• 5. Pop the tartlets out. Serve them cold or at room temperature within 2 hours, or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

TROPICAL FRUIT POPS

Steps:

• In a blender, combine guava nectar, pineapple juice, and fresh pineapple chunks. Cover and blend until smooth. Divide chopped or sliced fruit among 12 frozen treat molds or 4- to 6-ounce paper cups. Pour blended mixture over the fruit.
• Cover each cup with Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil; make a small hole in the aluminum foil with a knife and insert a wooden stick into each cup through the hole. Freeze about 4 hours or until firm. Remove foil and cup to serve.

GUAVA PASTELITO CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 16 cupcake cups with paper liners.
• Cut guava paste into medium squares and place in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Whisk until melted down but still slightly chunky, about the consistency of jelly (heat more if necessary).
• Beat brown sugar, butter, and eggs together with a mixer in a large bowl until creamy. Add flour, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt; stir until halfway mixed. Pour in guava nectar and mix until everything is fully incorporated. Fold in heated guava paste until evenly distributed. Mix in red food coloring.
• Fill each prepared cupcake cup evenly with batter.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
• While the cupcakes are cooling, blend cream cheese, butter, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer on low speed until smooth. Add confectioners' sugar and red food coloring. Mix on low speed until fully blended. Chill for 10 to 15 minutes. Frost cooled cupcakes.
