In general, all commercial ice cream has a lot of added sugar and that's why, when I can, I love making ice cream for my nephews with healthier products. Today I prepared these homemade fruit poles, a healthy recipe for children in summer, and have been a success. Both Paula who you see in the photo, and Teo have eaten them with joy.
The recipe I've prepared it with melon and kiwi, but you can make them with any combination of fruits that you want, for example mixing watermelon and orange They are also delicious. For these melon and kiwi I added some cream, so that they looked closer to ice cream than to the ice lollies, but do it to your liking.
Ingredients for 4 homemade fruit poles
- 2 kiwis, 1/4 of melon, 50 ml of thick liquid cream, molds for poles
How to make homemade fruit popsicles
To make four poles - Calippo type - we will need the indicated ingredients. You will probably have some of the "milkshake" that we are going to prepare. That you can take it in fruit smoothie plan and taste the taste, checking that there is no need to add more sugar, or adding a little honey if necessary.
Peel the kiwis and chop them, do the same with the melon and put all the pieces of fruit in the glass of our blender or kitchen robot. After crushing it for a while to make it creamy and homogeneous, add the cream and give another couple of minutes. It is time to try to see how it has been in case you have to rectify.
Then, we fill the molds and store them in the freezer drawer, at least for 3 hours and they are ready for an ideal fruit snack for the summer. In this type of molds, ice creams are taken directly without removing them. If you use other molds like when we made the melon and yogurt poles last year, then you will have to unmold them so that the children can eat them.
If you have more liquid like me, you can also fill a narrow glass, center a stick of ice cream inside and it will be another way to prepare homemade ice cream, which in summer will always come in handy. You have it to the left of the four polo molds, inside the freezer in the following photo.

Tasting
Remember that these Homemade fruit poles have no added sugar So children can take them just as if they were eating fruit, something that is always healthy. Ideally, take them when the heat begins to tighten, or reserve them for dessert, when they are more tempted to eat other foods less healthy for them.
