FRESH PINEAPPLE POPSICLES






FRESH PINEAPPLE POPSICLES

I was actually quite amazed at how tasty these popsicles were.  Real taste of the tropics in a refreshing, creamy popsicle and the carbs are not out of line either.

The sweetener tables for all the most common scenarios are in my cookbooks for your convenience.  For example, ¾ cup sugar sweetness (not ¾ cup liquid) using my bottle of sucralose from the EZ-Sweetz brand (whether the smaller one of 0.5 oz or the bigger yellow bottle of 2 oz – Zero carbs) would be 18 or 36 drops respectively.  Here is an article and video about the sweeteners. Part 1  There is another article and video here: Part 2.


11/cups chopped, fresh pineapple (325 mL)

1 cup whipping cream (250 mL)

Liquid sweetener to equal 1 cup (250 mL)

  sugar, OR to taste

1 tsp lemon juice, optional (5 mL)

1/tsp lemon, OR vanilla extract (0.5 mL)

 

In blender, combine pineapple, whipping cream, liquid sweetener, lemon juice, if using, and lemon or vanilla extract.  Blend on slow speed and then high speed until completely smooth.  Pour into 8 popsicle molds and freeze.
