Yield Makes 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup (125 g) superfine sugar
1/2 cup (60 g) blueberries
2 tablespoons blue curaçao
1/2 cup (250 g) chopped mango
2 tablespoons tequila
1/2 cup (100 g) chopped strawberries
2 tablespoons dark rum

Steps:

  • Place the sugar and 1 cup (250 ml) water in a saucepan and slowly bring to a boil, allowing the sugar to dissolve. Let simmer gently for 5 minutes, then remove from the heat.
  • Place the blueberries in a food processor and add the blue curaçao and one-third of the sugar syrup (about 5 tablespoons). Blitz until completely smooth, then pour into the bottom of four popsicle molds and place in the freezer for 1 1/2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, clean the food processor bowl and add the mango with the tequila and another one-third of the syrup. Blitz until completely smooth.
  • When the blueberry base is frozen solid, remove the molds from the freezer and pour over the mango mixture. Return the molds to the freezer and freeze for another 1 1/2 hours.
  • Finally, blitz together the strawberries, rum, and remaining syrup. Pour the strawberry mixture over the mango layer once it has frozen solid.
  • Freeze for another 1 1/2 hours, or until completely solid.

Tips:

  • Use ripe, fresh fruits. This will ensure the best flavor and texture in your dessert.
  • Choose a variety of fruits. This will give your dessert a more interesting flavor and appearance.
  • Don't overmix the ingredients. Overmixing can make the dessert tough.
  • Chill the dessert before serving. This will help it set and make it easier to slice.
  • Serve the dessert with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream. This will add a touch of sweetness and creaminess.
