Hi everyone I'm Gemma Stafford and this
week on Bigger Bolder
Baking we are making these
gorgeous tie-dye popsicles.
They are all natural, made from fruit and
we made them without
using a popsicle mold.
Here's how to do it.
So as you can see there's lots of lovely
colors in this popsicle
so we're gonna make it in
layers.
I have my food processor here ready to go
and we're gonna start
the layers from lighter,
going to darker so I don't have to wash
the machine in between.
Which I think is pretty smart of me.
Now into our food processor we're going
to add in pineapple
and banana, some yogurt,
plain yogurt, Greek yogurt, dairy free
yogurt, whatever your preference is.
And some honey for an all natural sugar.
A little bit of sweetness just helps
bring out the other
flavors and the sugars in the
fruit.
And then on with our lid and then just
process until it's nice and smooth.
And there we have our yellow layer.
Now moving swiftly we're
gonna pop this into a bowl.
You can see it's lovely and thick.
It smells gorgeous.
Then pop it into the freezer while you
make your next layers.
Now for our orange layer, bananas,
peaches, oranges, and
mango, lovely vibrant orangey
colors.
More yogurt, our honey again.
The yogurt adds a nice bit of protein
which makes these a nice
healthy snack and the honey
is a natural sugar.
On with our lid and then
blend just like before.
So we're heading into summer so this is
the perfect time of
year to stock up on lots of
seasonal fruit.
It's at its cheapest, it's at its very
best, it's at its most plentiful.
So go to your farmer's market, your
supermarket, buy it, chop it
up, wash it, get it into the
freezer and then you have it to use all
summer long for crisps,
cobblers, popsicles, whatever
you like.
Once it's all blended into our bowl and
back into the freezer.
Next up is my favorite layer, red layer,
bananas, raspberries, and strawberries.
Some of my all time favorite fruit.
Buying these in season will mean they're
at their sweetest also.
So that's just a win-win.
And blend until smooth.
Just look at the color of this layer and
it actually smells amazing too.
Okay, this is done.
Blueberries and move on.
So I'm still not rinsing my machine
because I'm going in
next with the purple layer.
Blueberries, blackberries and bananas.
This is a fantastic recipe to make this
summertime with kids and for kids.
It's really unique, super colorful, great
ingredients and screams summertime.
Hat on and blend.
Lovey and smooth.
This one is done.
Okay pop this in the freezer and then
we're gonna do our last layer.
Now for our last layer I did rinse out
the machine because I
didn't think those two colors
would go together.
We're doing green.
So a little bit of spinach in there for
extra iron, pineapple and banana.
It's a nice little sneaky way to get some
extra extra stuff in there.
Yogurt and our honey.
Last time, hat and blend.
Wow!
Another gorgeous color.
And that is our lovely last layer.
Now moving swiftly I'm gonna get all of
our layers out here.
Everything we need are molds, our sticks
and we're gonna start
to assemble this lovely
popsicle.
So now here's the really
fun part of this recipe.
It's the assembly.
Now these popsicles are
made without a popsicle mold.
How do we do that?
Very simply we're
going to use a loaf pan.
So I have a loaf pan here 9x5 and you
want to line it with
around three layers of cling
wrap.
Get them nice and stuck down in there.
I have my popsicle
sticks over here ready to go.
I have all my flavors.
They're nice, they're frozen and all I'm
going to do is simply
dollop and dollop and dollop
all the different colors and flavors and
watch it all come together.
So just go one by one by one.
There's no rhythm or rhyme.
There's no right way, wrong way.
Just make sure there's lovely contrast
between all these lovely
different layers of berries.
For the first time ever I'm going to have
a toddler actually on
summer break and I'm
going to need to have activities for him
and a lot of that will be
you know baking, desserts
and these kind of
recipes are perfect for him.
They're all natural.
There's no dyes in these, all natural
sugar, a little bit of
honey, really fun to make
and after a few hours they get to have
something beautiful that
they get to share with friends
and family and we hear
that a lot from Bold Bakers.
It's the fact when young kids bake that
they get to share it
with their peers and when
they enjoy it, it really
makes them extremely happy.
Give that a tap on the countertop.
The last thing we're going to do, take a
knife, something, a skewer
and just do a quick swirl.
We want to make sure that there's a
lovely marble effect,
that tie dye look that we're
going for.
That is it.
Cover it in foil and then
here's what we're going to do.
We're going to measure an inch in from
the edge and three
centimeters in between the
popsicles.
You're going to get
around seven on each side.
Three centimeters in between.
Score with a little knife, make a little
slit and insert your stick.
Okay that's it.
Let's not waste any more time and get
them into the freezer.
Here we are.
This is my favorite time.
We're going to remove the foil.
Just so you know, this is a big mixture
so you will want to
make these a day in advance
and let them freeze overnight.
Look at this.
How gorgeous is that?
Then let's shimmy them out of the pan.
Oh my gosh.
So so fun.
So you still might be wondering how are
we going to make popsicles like this?
So all we do is just slice in between and
then we're going to
cut them down the middle.
Once you slice your popsicles
they are ready to be served.
These guys scream summer from the fresh
flavors to the beautiful bright colors.
They are all natural ingredients.
They are good for you.
They are fantastic if you have kids home
this summertime and best
of all the whole family
will love them.
How is it?
Good.
Are you like my one or
you're like your one?
Mommy, we're done.
We're done.
Are you done with that?
You want to go?
Thanks.
I guess he liked it.
If you're in the mood for more frozen
desserts then stay right where you are.
I have tons of videos of more no-churn
ice cream and popsicles.
And as always I'll see you
back here again next week.
