Longan, Mango, & Pomegranate Popsicles - the most refreshing and fruity popsicles ever with gorgeous colors and flavors; easy to make at home.
Can you believe that it’s almost August 2012?
Soon it will be Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Christmas.
Anyway, while summer lasts, I wanted to share a popsicle recipe with you.
I grew up with a lot of popsicles in Malaysia.
Back home in Penang, we could buy really cheap, colorful, and exotic-tasting popsicles that feature the abundant fruits found in Penang.
Fruits such as mangoes, longan (dragon eye fruit), lychees, rambutan, etc. are used to flavor the popsicle.
They are always tasty and beat the scorching heat.
This longan, mango, and pomegranate popsicle is a combination of some of my favorite flavors.
I made them over the weekend and Baby G (who is now 22 months old) really liked it.
He kept on saying “more, more.”
For the stay-at-home moms, try this recipe and enjoy mother-and-kid bonding, sharing a popsicle before summer ends.
If you have an Asian supermarket where you live, pick up a can of longan, lychees, or rambutan to flavor the popsicle, I am sure your kid will welcome the new taste and texture of these exotic fruits.

Longan, Mango and Pomegranate Popsicle
Equipment
- 12 4×4 aluminum foil squares
- 12 Ice cream sticks
- 12 12.5 oz (360g) Dixie Cups
Ingredients
- 1 can longan with syrup
- 18 oz (510g) mango juice
- 18 oz (510g) pomegranate juice
Instructions
- Drop 1 or 2 longan fruits into each paper cup. Add 3 tablespoons (1.5 oz. or 45 g) of longan syrup. Place all the paper cups on a tray to keep them level and freeze for at least 2-3 hours.
- Remove from the freezer and add 3 tablespoons of mango juice to each paper cup. Cover the top of each cup with a 4"x4" (10 cm x 10 cm) square of aluminum foil, and cut a small slit in the center just wide enough for the ice cream stick. Insert the ice cream stick into the slit. Transfer the cups back to the tray and return to the freezer for another 2-3 hours.
- When the second layer is frozen, remove the foil and add 3 tablespoons of pomegranate juice to each cup. Freeze for another 2-3 hours without the aluminum foil.
- When ready to serve, remove the paper cups from the freezer. Use your palm to warm the sides of the cups, then gently slide the popsicles out by holding the ice cream stick. Serve immediately.
