Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups pineapple chunks ripe and juicy
  • 10 leaves fresh mint gently bruised
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice brightens flavor
  • 1-2 teaspoons honey or agave syrup to taste
  • 1/4 cup coconut water optional for extra tropical flavor

Equipment

  • blender
  • popsicle molds
  • measuring cups
  • small knife

Method
 

  1. Peel the pineapple and chop it into small chunks, about 2-3 cm each. Place the chunks in your blender.
  2. Gently bruise the mint leaves with your fingers or a muddler to release their aroma, then add them to the blender with the pineapple.
  3. Squeeze in the lemon juice and add honey or agave syrup. Pour in the coconut water if using. Blend everything until smooth and vibrant, about 30 seconds, until the mixture is evenly combined and fragrant.
  4. Taste the purée and adjust sweetness if needed, adding a little more honey if desired. The mixture should be bright and refreshing, with a slight herbal aroma.
  5. Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving about 0.5 cm space at the top for expansion. Insert sticks if your molds require it.
  6. Place the molds in the freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight until solid and firm to the touch.
  7. Once frozen, run warm water briefly around the outside of each mold to loosen the popsicles. Gently pull out each popsicle, holding the stick firmly.
  8. Serve immediately for a crisp, refreshing treat, or store wrapped in plastic in the freezer for up to two weeks. Let sit at room temperature for a minute if they’re too hard to bite into.

Notes

For a more intense mint flavor, add extra leaves or bruise them more before blending. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of water or coconut water to help blend smoothly.
