Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3 cups frozen pineapple chunks (or 400 grams)
- 1 small banana
- 1/3 cup lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons water
- Tajin seasoning (to taste)
Instructions
- Blend the Base: Combine the frozen pineapple chunks, small banana, lemon juice, and water in a blender or food processor. Pulse the mixture until it reaches a smooth consistency, ensuring there are no large fruit chunks left.
- Fill Popsicle Molds: Pour the fruit mixture halfway into 8 popsicle molds. Then, sprinkle some Tajin seasoning into the center of each mold for a zesty flavor burst. Top the popsicles with the remaining fruit mixture, and sprinkle more Tajin on top to enhance the spicy, tangy profile.
- Insert Sticks and Freeze: Place the lids on the popsicle molds and gently insert popsicle sticks. Carefully transfer the molds to the freezer and freeze for 4 to 8 hours, or preferably overnight, until the popsicles are completely solid.
- Unmold and Serve: When ready to enjoy, remove the popsicle molds from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for 1 to 3 minutes to loosen. Gently pull the sticks to release the popsicles from their molds. Serve immediately for a deliciously refreshing treat.
Notes
- You can substitute fresh pineapple with frozen pineapple chunks if fresh is unavailable.
- Adjust the amount of Tajin to suit your taste preference – start with a little and increase if desired.
- For easier unmolding, dip the molds briefly in warm water before removing the popsicles.
- These popsicles contain no added sugar, relying on the natural sweetness of fruit.
- Store any leftover popsicles in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week.
