Last year the kids wanted to make some of their own popsicles (ice lollies) of choice, so I ordered this fab ice Norpro Frozen Ice Pop Maker<\/a><\/strong><\/span> on Amazon<\/a><\/strong><\/span> with some wooden ice pop sticks<\/a><\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and the kids had great fun coming up with some suggestions for ice lollies, the ones they loved the most were these cute little Watermelon Ice Pops<\/a><\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the weather being pretty hot this week, I dug it out of the drawer to make some refreshing ice lollies, that I can enjoy to cool down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hunting around for what I had, I combined some raspberries with some lemonade that was a little one the flat side (best thing to use, don't use fizzy or it will expand out of the moulds (trust me).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make the raspberry lemon, I blended up the fresh raspberries in my Nutri Ninja Blender with Auto IQ<\/a><\/strong><\/span> (click to see me on amazon). This blender is amazing. The auto iq technology feature, mean it blends to a set pattern depending on what it is your are making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then once I had the raspberry puree, it is important to put it through a sieve to remove all the little seeds, otherwise you will have an Raspberry Lemonade Popsicles that is grainy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you have put through the sieve, you can combine the raspberries with the slightly flat lemonade and 2-3 tbs of fresh lemon juice (depending on how sour you like them), you can taste test before adding to the moulds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then pour into the molds, place on the lid and pop in the wooden ice lolly sticks and you can place in the freezer to freeze. Once frozen, I run under running water just to loosen them from the mold and then pop into a zip lock bag and these Raspberry Lemonade Popsicles are all ready to grab and go for a hot summer's day when you fancy a refresh ice lolly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why not try some other fruits - like pomegranate, cherries, strawberries etc<\/p>\n\n\n
