- Pour in strawberry puree to just below the half point of your popsicle mold. Place the puree in the freezer for 30 minutes. Make sure it is placed in the freezer straight.
- Then pour in the kiwi puree so it makes a nice stripe across (about a half inch to one inch). Place back into the freezer for 20-30 minutes. Again, make sure it is in there straight.
- Finally, fill the popsicle molds to the top line with more of the strawberry puree. Place the top of the mold on and freeze them for 4-6 hours.
- Freeze any unused popsicles.
Notes
A tip to getting them out of the popsicle mold easier is to run hot water over the mold for about 10-15 seconds.
How many popsciles you get will depend on the size of your popsicle mold. The one I used for this recipe and in these photos measures about 1/4 cup. I did have a little extra so we made a couple more using another popsicle mold that we had.
If you have any extra popsicles, put them back in the freezer until next time you are craving a delicious and healthy homemade popsicle.
