TEQUILA SUNRISE ICE POPS RECIPE

Steps:

• Stir together the ingredients for each layer separately. Cover and place the 2nd and 3rd layer mixtures in the fridge for now. Divide the 1st layer evenly between 6 (2.5 ounce) or 5 (3 ounce) popsicle molds. Set on a level surface in the freezer for 45-60 minutes. Remove from freezer and slowly pour in the second layer. Freeze for 30 minutes, then poke wooden popsicle sticks through the center, and freeze for another 30 minutes. Remove from freezer and slowly pour in the 3rd layer. Return to freezer and freeze until solid, 4-6 hours.

CAKE POPS

Steps:

• First make the cake. Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Grease and line the base of a 20cm sandwich tin. Place the butter, sugar and vanilla extract into a bowl and beat well to a creamy consistency. Slowly beat in the eggs, one by one, then fold in the flour and mix well. Tip into the cake tin and bake for about 20 mins until risen and golden brown. Set aside to cool completely.
• While the cakes are cooling, make the buttercream. In a large bowl or the bowl of stand mixer, beat the butter and icing sugar together until smooth, add the vanilla extract and milk and beat again. Once the cake is cooled, crumble into large crumbs. Add the butter cream and stir together. Take chunks of the cake mixture and roll into balls, transferring each ball to a lined tray or plate, push a lollypop stick into each, then put into the fridge for an hour to set.
• Melt the white chocolate in the microwave, blasting it and stirring at 10 seconds intervals until smooth. Tip the sprinkles into another bowl. Take each of the chilled cake pops and dip into the white chocolate, allowing it to drip off a little over the bowl. Dip into the sprinkles, then stand upright in a mug to dry at room temperature for an hour, or in the fridge for 30 mins.

TEQUILA SUNRISE FREEZER POPS

Steps:

• Prepare 7 push-up pop molds by placing a Styrofoam block or blocks on a small baking tray. Insert 7 pop molds into the Styrofoam. Set aside.
• For the grenadine jelly: Combine the grenadine and cold water in a microwave-safe measuring cup. Sprinkle the gelatin over top and allow it to bloom for 5 minutes. Slowly melt the gelatin by microwaving it in 10-second intervals, stirring in between, until just smooth and dissolved. Refrigerate while you prepare the semifreddo.
• For the orange tequila semifreddo: Whip the cream to soft peaks with a whisk. Place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
• Combine the softened cream cheese and orange zest in a medium bowl. Mix with a rubber spatula until smooth. Mix in the confectioners' sugar. Whisk in the orange juice and tequila. Whisk in the pasteurized egg yolks. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer.
• Remove the whipped cream and grenadine gelatin from the refrigerator.
• Fold the strained orange mixture into the whipped cream. Fill each mold 3/4 full with the orange semifreddo.
• Gently pour the grenadine mixture into each mold, filling each to the top. The grenadine mixture will take a few minutes to settle to the bottom. Once it has, take a long bamboo skewer or chopstick and gently stir it. Place the molds into the freezer until frozen, at least 3 hours.
