Ingredients
  

  • 1 large ripe pineapple cut into chunks
  • 1 handful fresh mint leaves loosely packed
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice freshly squeezed
  • 2-3 tablespoons honey or agave syrup adjust sweetness to taste
  • 1/2 cup cold water or coconut water helps blend smoothly

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Popsicle molds
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Knife
  • Citrus juicer or hand squeezer

Method
 

  1. Use a sharp knife to cut the pineapple into small chunks, about 1-inch pieces, and transfer them into your blender.
  2. Add a handful of fresh mint leaves to the blender for that cool, herbal aroma.
  3. Squeeze in the juice of one lime, measuring about 2 tablespoons, to brighten the flavor with a zesty tang.
  4. Drizzle in 2 tablespoons of honey or agave syrup, adjusting to your preferred level of sweetness.
  5. Pour in half a cup of cold water or coconut water, which will help the mixture blend into a smooth, frosty consistency.
  6. Secure the lid and blend on high speed for about 30 seconds until the mixture is silky smooth and fragrant, with a slight froth on top.
  7. Stop the blender and taste the mixture; adjust by adding more lime juice or honey if needed for your perfect balance of sweet and tart.
  8. Pour the vibrant, frosty mixture into popsicle molds, leaving about 1/4 inch space at the top for expansion.
  9. Insert the sticks into each mold and gently tap on the counter to remove air bubbles and settle the mixture evenly.
  10. Place the molds in the freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight until completely firm and icy.
  11. To serve, run the molds briefly under warm water to loosen, then gently pull out the popsicles and enjoy immediately for a refreshing tropical treat.
