The magic of these popsicles lies in the contrast of textures and flavors. The strawberry daiquiri base — smooth, tangy, and lightly sweet — wraps around generous pieces of fresh fruit that become jewel-like once frozen. Each bite offers a burst of cold fruitiness alongside the warming undertone of white rum and the sharp brightness of freshly squeezed lime juice. They are sophisticated enough for adults yet simple enough to make on a weekday afternoon. Best of all, they require no special skills: just a blender, some popsicle molds, and a little patience while they freeze.

Instructions

Step 1: Blend the daiquiri base

In a blender, combine the hulled strawberries, granulated sugar, freshly squeezed lime juice, white rum, and water. Blend until completely smooth.

Step 2: Adjust the flavor

Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or lime juice as desired to suit your preference.

Step 3: Fill with fruit chunks

Divide the mixed fruit chunks — kiwi, mango, pineapple, and sliced strawberries — evenly among 8 popsicle molds.

Step 4: Pour and tap

Pour the strawberry daiquiri mixture over the fruit, filling each mold to the top. Tap the molds gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.

Step 5: Freeze

Insert popsicle sticks and place molds in the freezer for at least 6 hours, or until completely solid.

Step 6: Unmold and serve

To serve, briefly run the molds under warm water to release the popsicles, then enjoy immediately.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Damit die Früchte gleichmäßig in den Eisformen verteilt bleiben, empfiehlt es sich, die Fruchtstücke leicht anzudrücken, bevor die flüssige Basis eingefüllt wird. Achte darauf, die Formen nach dem Befüllen sanft auf die Arbeitsfläche zu klopfen – so werden Luftblasen entfernt und das Eis wird gleichmäßig fest. Für ein besonders lebendiges Ergebnis die Früchte so schichten, dass verschiedene Farben abwechseln. Falls kein Alkohol gewünscht ist, kann der weiße Rum problemlos durch Kokoswasser oder zusätzlichen Limettensaft ersetzt werden.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Diese Popsicles laden zum Experimentieren ein. Statt Kiwi, Mango und Ananas lassen sich auch Heidelbeeren, Pfirsiche oder Wassermelone verwenden – ganz nach persönlichem Geschmack und saisonaler Verfügbarkeit. Wer es etwas intensiver mag, gibt eine Prise Limettenschale in die Basis, um die Frische noch zu unterstreichen. Für eine komplett alkoholfreie Variante einfach den Rum durch Kokoswasser oder mehr Limettensaft ersetzen – so wird das Rezept auch für Kinder und Schwangere geeignet.
