Strawberry Mojito Ice Pops Recipes

STRAWBERRY LIME SMOOTHIE POPS

Steps:

• Blend all ingredients, then pour into ice pop molds.
• Freeze for at least 2 hours (or overnight).

STRAWBERRY MARGARITA ICE POPS

Steps:

• To make the fresh strawberry puree, puree the strawberries in a blender or food processor with a few tablespoons of water. Pour through a fine-mesh sieve and press with a spoon to release all the juice.
• Combine the sugar and 1 cup of the strawberry puree in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, whisking so the sugar dissolves. Simmer for 1 to 2 minutes, then turn off the heat. Stir in the fruit punch, lime juice, tequila and Grand Marnier.
• Fill each ice-pop mold with a lime slice. Pour the strawberry mixture over top. Freeze according to your ice-pop maker's directions, for at least 4 to 6 hours. Serve with a sprinkle of sea salt.

MOJITO ICE LOLLIES

Steps:

• Pour 100ml water in a small saucepan and bring to the boil. Remove from the heat, tip in the sugar and stir until dissolved. Add the mint leaves, return to the heat and simmer for 5 mins then remove and leave to infuse for 30 mins. (This can be made the day before and left in the fridge overnight to infuse).
• Pour through a sieve into a jug, squashing the mint leaves with the back of a spoon to squeeze out all the juices. Add the rum, 125ml lime juice, lime zest and stir. Add enough soda water to bring the total volume up to 600ml. Taste the mixture - it should be sharp and sweet. Add the remaining 25ml lime juice if needed.
• Pour the mixture into lolly moulds and freeze for 1 hr until the mixture is solid enough to hold the lolly sticks upright. Push the sticks 3/4 of the way into the lollies and return to the freezer for 6-8 hrs to freeze completely. To unmould, dip the outside of the lolly mould into hot water for 10 secs then use the sticks to pull each lolly out. The lollies can be kept wrapped individually in baking parchment in airtight bags in the freezer for up to 1 week.

MOJITO ICE POPS

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, bring sugar and 2 cups water to a boil over high. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat, stir in mint, and let syrup cool, 30 minutes.
• Pour syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl, pressing on solids (you should have about 3 1/4 cups syrup); discard solids. Stir lime juice into syrup. Fill ten 3-ounce ice-pop molds three-quarters full with syrup. Freeze until slushy, 45 minutes. With an ice-pop stick, submerge 1 lime slice and 1 mint leaf in each pop. Insert ice-pop sticks and freeze until solid, 6 hours (or up to 2 weeks).
