Recipe Notes

Alternatively, you can use seasonal fruit, for example strawberries, peaches, loquats or pineapple, in this recipe. If fresh fruit is not available, frozen fruit can also be used.
These popsicles have a relatively small amount of sugar, making them a quintessential refreshing dessert during hot summer months.
