The June bearing strawberries are ripe as ever, and it’s still May! Juicy strawberries and 95-degree temperatures means fruity push-up pop time in my backyard. Along with the fresh strawberries, I had a few apricots and frozen blackberries to puree in the blender. I experimented with different ratios of honey and rice milk to blend up with the fruit and even added a few layers of honeyed rice milk in between fruit layers.
Though I had to wait two hours (for hardening) between filling the flavor fields, I thought it was worth it, because the combined taste was exciting. Visually, the finished pops were like a lickable frozen homage to Mark Rothko (just don’t gaze too long, or they will melt). Perfect for this summery weather and also useful as smoothie starters to keep in the freezer. Cheers to unofficial summer!

These SO pretty to look at. I bet they taste amazing! YUM!
Oh, and where did you find the reusable push pop forms?? I need these! Lookin tasty as always:)
You do! They were a Williams-Sonoma gift from my sis years ago, but I haven’t seen them in the stores lately. Maybe online now? Bonus: I find them easier to clean than the other popsicle molds.
Sarah, I just saw where someone has a set with a base for sale on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Williams-Sonoma-retro-Push-Up-Pop-Maker-Yogurt-Sorbet-Sherbet-Juice-Ice-Cream-/370617768778?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item564a8a5b4a
I can’t believe I had forgotten about push-up molds!! I have got to find some of those. Thanks for the gorgeous reminder!
Happy to remind 🙂
Totally brings back memories of eating Push Pops as a kid 🙂
YA!
These look delicious! How much of each thing did you use? And where did you get the push pops?
Hi! My sister gave the molds to me years ago, and I can’t see that anyone makes them with the base anymore 😦 I did find someone selling a set on eBay here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Williams-Sonoma-retro-Push-Up-Pop-Maker-Yogurt-Sorbet-Sherbet-Juice-Ice-Cream-/370617768778?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item564a8a5b4a
I normally use about 1 cup of fruit, 1/2 cup rice milk, teaspoon honey and then go from there. If you use blackberries or strawberries, you may want to strain out the seeds before filling the mold.
And one for me please!!!!!! 🙂
These looks so good! I love this kind of things during summer 🙂
