Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fresh pineapple chunks ripe for maximum sweetness
  • 1 handful fresh mint leaves roughly torn to release flavor
  • 1/4 cup honey adjust sweetness as needed
  • 1/4 cup water cold, to help blend
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice optional for zing

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Popsicle molds
  • Knife
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Place the pineapple chunks into your blender, and add the torn mint leaves on top.
  2. Pour in the honey, water, and lime juice (if using), then secure the lid on the blender.
  3. Blend everything on high for about 30 seconds until the mixture is smooth, thick, and vibrant yellow with specks of green from the mint.
  4. Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or mint if needed by blending briefly again.
  5. Pour the fruity blend into popsicle molds, leaving about a quarter inch space at the top for expansion.
  6. Insert the popsicle sticks into each mold and place them in the freezer.
  7. Freeze the popsicles for at least 4 hours or overnight until solid and icy.
  8. To serve, run warm water around the outside of the molds for a few seconds to loosen the popsicles.
  9. Gently pull the popsicles out and enjoy immediately, savoring the bright, icy burst of pineapple and mint.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a dash of vanilla extract or swap honey for agave syrup. Use silicone molds for easier removal and vibrant colors.
