Tropical Push It Up Pops Food

TROPICAL FRUIT POPS

Steps:

• Stir together the mango nectar and lime juice in a large measuring cup. Stir together the pineapple juice and grenadine in another large measuring cup. Stir 3 tablespoons rum into each of the juices, if using.
• Pour the pineapple juice into twelve 3-ounce paper cups.
• Holding a spoon, rounded-side-up, just above the surface of the pineapple juice, very slowly pour the mango juice over the spoon so that two distinct layers are maintained. (Note: If you are using rum, you will have more of a tie-dyed effect.)
• Freeze the cups until icy, about 2 hours. Insert the ice pop sticks and freeze until solid, about 3 hours more. Remove the pops by tearing off the paper cups, and serve.

TROPICAL PUSH-IT-UP POPS

Steps:

• For coconut, kiwifruit or pineapple layers, mix ingredients called for in small bowls.
• For pops with 3 layers, spoon 2 tablespoons peach sorbet into each push-pop pop container. Top with 2 tablespoons coconut mixture and 2 tablespoons either kiwifruit or pineapple mixture.
• Freeze pops upright until frozen solid, at least 1 hour. Once pops are frozen, they can be stored on their side.
