Kiwi Strawberry Rocket Pops

Record breaking temperatures here this summer.
Drastic action needed.
Rocket pops to the rescue.

I bought the most adorable ice pop molds this year. They're in the shape of rocketships.

How could I resist? And making a delicious frozen treat takes only minutes of preparation.


Kiwi Strawberry Rocket Pops
Makes 6 - 50 ml ice pops

4 ripe kiwis
2 tablespoons of strawberry jam (homemade if you've got it...)
water

Scoop the kiwi flesh out of the skins and into a blender.

Add the strawberry jam. Blend, adding water until the mixture totals 300 ml.
Pour into ice pop molds and freeze until firm. Try to stay cool while you wait...

Blast off!

And when you're done, you get a nifty surprise visit from a space man :)

Kitchen improv:

To make your own rocket pops, throw together anything that tastes good and will freeze.

Here are a couple of other variations I've already made this year:

Café Latte Ice Pops
Dissolve instant coffee and sugar into milk.

Orange Yogurt Ice Pops
Blend together orange juice, yogurt, honey and vanilla.

Fizzy Grapefruit Ice Pops
Pour grapefruit flavoured carbonated sparkling water into molds.

Make up your own combo and let me know how it goes!
