    A while ago when a friend brought me back wood apples from Sri Lanka, she also brought me another sweet treat: pineapple!

    If you’re a pineapple fan, I highly recommend getting your hands on the Sri Lankan variety. You will be in heaven! It’s the ultimate when it comes to pineapple.

    We ate most of the pineapple from my friend as-is; cut into sweet, juicy cubes there is no better dessert. But she gave us four huge pineapples! They had to be used up sooner than we were able to eat our way through them. I knew I needed to make something involving pineapple to help use it up.

    All-fruit popsicles came to mind! They have always been a favorite of mine (I almost lived off of them my freshman year of undgrad), and I knew a homemade pineapple version would be killer.

    The stars must have been aligned because when the super sweet Billy of Whit & Vinegar recently invited me to partake in Popsicle Week, I knew these Vanilla Pineapple Popsicles would be perfect.

    What is Sri Lankan Pineapple? How is it Different From Hawaiian Pineapple?

    If you’ve never had Sri Lankan pineapple, it is surprisingly quite different from Hawaiian pineapple. Fresh, ripe Sri Lankan pineapple is sweeter and has a deeper pineapple flavor than Hawaiian pineapple.

    Sri Lankan pineapple still has the pleasant sweet/sour taste that Hawaiian pineapple has, but with less of a tart tang and more of a sweet, natural concentrated pineapple flavor.

    The color of Sri Lankan pineapple is also different from that of Hawaiian pineapple. Sri Lankan pineapple has a deep golden-orangish color, differing quite a bit from the yellow interior of its Hawaiian counterpart. My pictures do not do justice to the beautiful color of this pineapple!

    It’s cliche I know, but in a word, Sri Lankan pineapple tastes and looks like sunshine.

    Vanilla Pineapple Popsicles Recipe

    If you want, you can literally just toss the pineapple into a blender, puree it up, and freeze it as popsicles. Especially if you have Sri Lankan pineapple, which is so incredibly sweet that it doesn't any sweetener added.

    Pro Tip

    an edible mosaic stamp logo 1200 square

    If you’re using a Hawaiian pineapple instead of a Sri Lankan pineapple, I recommend giving it a taste and see if it needs a little honey for balance before you freeze the pops.

    Here I accented the flavor of pineapple just a little bit by adding a touch of vanilla bean paste and a pinch of sea salt.

    These pops are incredible, both delicious and refreshing. If you’re looking for a cool treat to chill out with in the heat (or the kiddos are!), but you want to keep it healthy, this is the recipe for you.

    How to Make All Fruit Pops or Fruit Bars

    Simply puree the fruit and freeze the fruit puree in popsicle molds. This is the easy method we use to make these pineapple popsicles.

    You can add flavor enhancers, such as a splash of vanilla and/or a pinch of salt, but that's up to you. Additionally, I recommend tasting your fruit before freezing to see if it needs a little sweetener, such as honey, maple syrup, sugar, or stevia.

    How to Store Homemade Popsicles

    Either unmold each pop and wrap it in plastic wrap, or leave the popsicles in their molds. Store them this way in a zip-top bag (or airtight container) in the freezer for up to 1 month.

    Course Dessert
    Cuisine American
    Servings 7 popsicles
    Calories 34 kcal

    Equipment

    • Popsicle mold

    Ingredients
     
     

    • 1 pound fresh peeled cubed and cored pineapple about 4 cups cubed
    • ½ teaspoon vanilla bean paste optional
    • 1 pinch sea salt optional

    Instructions
     

    • Add all ingredients to a blender or food processor and process until smooth, scraping down the sides and tamping down the fruit as necessary.
    • Spoon the pineapple mixture into popsicle molds, making sure not to fill the molds over the “fill” line, since liquid expands as it freezes. (My molds are 2 ½ oz/75 ml and I got exactly 7 popsicles.) Gently tap the mold a couple times on a hard surface to help any air bubbles escape, then insert the sticks.
    • Transfer to the freezer and freeze completely, about 3 to 4 hours, depending on the size of your popsicles and how cold your freezer is. To easily unmold the popsicles, dip the plastic bottoms in warm water and they should slide right out.
    • Once unmolded, wrap each popsicle individually in plastic wrap and store in the freezer.

    Faith's Tips

    • Don't Overfill: When filling the molds, make sure not to fill them over the “fill” line, since liquid expands as it freezes.
    • To Unmold: To easily unmold the popsicles, dip the bottoms in warm water and they should slide right out.
    • Storage: Either unmold each pop and wrap it in plastic wrap, or leave the popsicles in their molds. Store them this way in a zip-top bag (or airtight container) in the freezer for up to 1 month.

        Patricia, It's called "Prepworks by Progressive Freezer Pop Maker" and I got it on Amazon. I did a quick search and it looks like it's still available there for purchase!

      I. LOVE. PINEAPPLE. And! I. LOVE. POPSICLES. Which I think, mathematically speaking, at least, means I might love YOU. Yep, pretty sure that's #spoton. :)

      Hi Faith, it's blazing hot here in Los Angeles, and these popsicles would certainly cool us off. I love the combo of vanilla and pineapple!
