How to Make Pineapple Popsicles
Use either a nice ripe fresh whole pineapple, pre cut pineapple, or even frozen pineapple. The freshest, juiciest flavor will come from the whole pineapple that you cut up.
How To Cut A Pineapple Hack
- Cut the top and bottom off a whole, ripe pineapple.
- Then, using a sharp serrated knife, cut the sides off in 2" portions until you cut the rind off all around the pineapple.
- Cut the pineapple in quarters, and then cut the center core from each of the four quarters.
- Cube, chunk, or slice each quarter.
Puree The Pineapple
The coconut milk makes these popsicles nice and creamy, and the lime juice keeps them from being too sweet.
- Add the pineapple, coconut milk (optional), and a squeezed lime to your blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Freeze The Pineapple Popsicles
You will want to make sure you have your freeze on the coldest setting so that these popsicles freeze up hard.
PRO TIP: If you don't have a popsicle mold, you can use paper cups or ice cube trays. Paper Dixie cups work great!
- Pour the blended pineapple mixture into the popsicle cavities.
- Insert popsicle sticks and freeze for at least 6 hours.
To remove the popsicles from the molds, run them under warm water for a few seconds.
