Number Of Ingredients 7

6 cups roughly chopped strawberries (fresh or frozen and thawed)
6 cups roughly chopped mango (fresh or frozen and thawed)
6 cups pineapple chunks (fresh, canned, or frozen and thawed)
6 cups roughly chopped kiwi (about 12 kiwis)
¼ cup sugar or honey
¼ cup fresh lime juice
Water as needed

Steps:

  • Blend: Choose the fruit you want to use, then divide it in half. Finely chop half of the fruit and set it aside. Put the remaining fruit in a blender, along with the sugar and lime juice. Blender until smooth, adding a splash of water as needed to get things moving.
  • Mold: Stir chopped fruit into blended mixture. Pour into molds, leaving a little space at the top for them to expand. Firmly tap the mold on the counter to remove any air bubbles. Insert sticks and freeze until hard (at least 4 hours).
  • Serve: Run the mold under warm water for a few seconds to loosen them up, then remove from the mold.
