Steps:
- With the back of a heavy chef's knife, bruise the lemongrass stalk to expose the inside fibers and cut it into 1-inch lengths. Combine the lemongrass pieces, ginger, sugar and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook a few minutes until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and steep for 20 minutes.
- Strain the syrup into a bowl, discarding the solids. Place the bowl over a larger bowl filled with ice and whisk the syrup until it cools. Combine the pineapple juice, coconut milk, rum and all of the cooled syrup in a blender and blend; it will make a nice frothy layer on top. Pour into 4 tumblers with or without ice and garnish with the mint or lemongrass.

Steps:
- Make the simple syrup: in a small pot, combine the water and sugar. Cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Transfer the syrup to a heatproof container and let cool completely before using. Any leftover syrup will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
- Make the strawberry daiquiri layer: In a 2-quart blender or food processor, combine the strawberries, simple syrup, lime juice and zest, and rum and blend until mostly smooth, 1-2 minutes. Divide the contents evenly between 6-8 ice pop molds, filling each ⅓ of the way. Cover with the lid (or place sticks in the middle) and freeze for at least 30 minutes before adding the next layer.
- Make the coconut cream layer: Clean the blender. Reserve 3 tablespoons of coconut milk for the piña colada layer, then add the remaining coconut milk, coconut rum, and 3 tablespoons simple syrup to the blender and blend until well combined, 1-2 minutes. Carefully pour into the pop molds over the strawberry daiquiri layer, filling another ⅓ of the way. Place the tops back on (or sticks back in) and freeze for at least another 30 minutes before adding the final layer.
- Make the piña colada layer: In a medium bowl, mix together the crushed pineapple and their juices and coconut rum. Let infuse for 5-10 minutes.
- Clean out the blender. Add the crushed pineapple and rum mixture, reserved 3 tablespoons coconut milk, and 1 tablespoon simple syrup and blend until smooth and well combined, 1-2 minutes. Pour into the pop molds over the coconut cream layer, filling the rest of the way. Place the lid on (or sticks back in)-it may require a bit of force to get through the bottom 2 layers. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or up to overnight.
- Remove the pop molds from the freezer and dip in room temperature water for no more than 60 seconds, being careful to avoid getting any water in the pops. Wiggle the sticks around every 20 seconds to loosen the pops from the molds. Remove the pops and wrap Individually in plastic wrap. The pops will keep in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
- Enjoy (responsibly)!

Yield Makes 8 x 80ml lollies
Number Of Ingredients 6
Steps:
- Whizz the pineapple in a food processor until it is quite smooth but still has some texture. Add the Malibu, 2 tbsp lemon juice zest, icing sugar and coconut cream and whizz again to combine. Taste the mixture - it should be sweet and sharp. Add more lemon juice or icing sugar if needed. Divide between the lolly moulds and freeze for 1 hr until thick enough to hold a lolly stick upright. Push a lolly stick most of the way into each mould and freeze for another 6-8 hrs until solid.
- Meanwhile toast the coconut flakes in a dry pan until they are a light golden colour. Pull the lollies by their sticks to remove them from the mould. If they are stuck dip the mould in hot water for 10 secs and try again. Dip the tip of each lolly in the extra coconut cream then roll in the desiccated coconut. Either serve straightaway or wrap each lolly in baking parchment and store in individual airtight freezer bags for up to 1 week.

Tips:
- Select ripe pineapples: For the best flavor, choose pineapples that are fully ripe and fragrant. Look for pineapples with a deep golden color and no soft spots.
- Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger adds a zesty kick to these ice pops. Peel and grate the ginger just before using for the best flavor.
- Adjust the sweetness: If you like your ice pops less sweet, you can reduce the amount of sugar or honey used in the recipe. You can also use a natural sweetener like stevia or monk fruit.
- Make them boozy: If you want to make these ice pops for adults, you can add a shot of rum or vodka to the mixture before freezing.
- Get creative with your toppings: Once the ice pops are frozen, you can top them with a variety of toppings like shredded coconut, chopped pineapple, or a drizzle of honey.
