Rinse and prep the fruits: hull the strawberries, peel the kiwi and mango, and remove the skin and core of the pineapple.
Blend each fruit separately to keep the colors distinct. For each fruit, place it in a blender along with a small splash of water (30 milliliters per fruit) and blend until smooth. If the fruit is tart, add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup to taste.
Optional: Strain the blended fruit through a fine mesh sieve if you prefer a smoother texture without pulp.
Prepare your ice pop molds. Pour layers of each fruit puree into the molds, alternating colors for a striped effect, or swirl the purees together for a marbled look.
Tap the molds gently on the counter to remove air bubbles and ensure even filling.
Insert ice pop sticks into the molds, ensuring they are centered.
Place the molds in the freezer and freeze for at least 6 hours or until completely solid.
To remove the ice pops, run the molds under warm water for a few seconds to loosen them before pulling them out gently.
Enjoy your fresh fruit ice pops immediately or store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week.
