Gummy Fruit Pops Recipes

FRUIT ICE POPS

Steps:

• Combine blueberry pop ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into 5 of the pop molds. Repeat process with strawberry pop ingredients. Place in freezer for at least 5 hours or overnight.

GUMMY WORM ICE POPS

Steps:

• Add the sugar and 1/2 cup water to a small saucepan. Place over low heat and warm, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is just coming to a simmer. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice, ice and 1/2 cup water to cool the mixture until the ice is completely melted.
• Meanwhile, stuff about 3 gummy worms in each of ten 3-ounce ice-pop molds. Fill the molds with the cooled lemonade, just enough to cover the worms. Freeze for at least 10 hours or according to the manufacturer's directions.

PASSION FRUIT AND GUAVA POPS

Steps:

• Combine 1/3 cup water, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1 tablespoon lime juice in small bowl; stir until sugar dissolves. Using spoon, scoop flesh from passion fruits into sugar mixture. Strain mixture through fine-mesh strainer into small bowl; press on seeds with rubber spatula to extract as much liquid as possible (you will need 1 cup strained liquid); discard seeds in strainer.
• Divide passion fruit mixture among eight 3-ounce paper cups (about 2 tablespoons for each). Stretch plastic wrap tightly over top of each cup, covering completely and securing each with rubber band. Insert ice pop stick or lollipop stick through plastic wrap and into mixture in each cup (taut plastic will hold stick in place). Place cups in muffin pan, tilting cups at angle. Freeze until passion fruit mixture is set, about 3 hours.
• Meanwhile, stir guava nectar, remaining 3 tablespoons sugar, and 1 tablespoon lime juice in 2-cup measuring cup until sugar dissolves. Chill mixture until cold.
• Remove cups with frozen passion fruit mixture from freezer; stand cups upright in muffin pan. Peel back some of plastic wrap on each. Pour guava mixture atop frozen passion fruit mixture in cups, dividing equally. Cover with plastic wrap, secure with rubber band, and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours. DO AHEAD: Can be made 3 days ahead. Keep frozen.
• Using scissors, cut off paper cups from pops and serve immediately.
