Here's a simple, refreshing homemade kiwi flavored ice lollies (also called kiwi popsicles) recipe. This version focuses on pure kiwi flavor with a touch of sweetness and lime for brightness—it's naturally vibrant green and perfect for hot days!
Ingredients (makes 6–8 ice lollies, depending on mould size)
- 6–8 ripe kiwis (about 500–600g), peeled
- 2–4 tablespoons sugar, honey, or your preferred sweetener (adjust to taste—kiwis vary in sweetness)
- Juice of 1 lime (about 2–3 tablespoons) — adds zing and balances the flavor
Optional: ¼ cup water or coconut water (if you want a softer texture)
Optional extras: A few fresh mint leaves (blended in), kiwi slices for decoration, or a splash of tonic water for a fizzy twist
Instructions
- Peel the kiwis and chop them into chunks. (Save 1–2 kiwis to slice thinly for decoration if desired.)
- Add the kiwi chunks, lime juice, and sweetener to a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed—ripe kiwis are quite sweet, so start low.
- If using, blend in mint leaves or add a little water/coconut water for a smoother pour.
- If you want pretty layered or decorated lollies: Place 1–2 thin kiwi slices against the sides of each mould for a nice visual effect.
- Pour the kiwi puree into ice lolly moulds, leaving a little space at the top for expansion during freezing.
- Insert the sticks (if your moulds require partial freezing first, freeze for 30–60 minutes, then add sticks to keep them centered).
- Freeze for at least 4–6 hours, or overnight until solid.
To unmould: Run the moulds under warm water for a few seconds to loosen.
Enjoy immediately for the best texture!
Tips
- For creamier lollies → Blend in ½ cup Greek yogurt or coconut milk.
- For extra fun → Alternate layers with blended strawberry or mango puree for a tropical twist.
- Store in the freezer for up to 2 weeks (if they last that long!).
