Pina colada popsicles
These are the popsicle equivalent of the quintessential pina colada cocktail and are a perfect summer treat for adults. They could not be easier to whip up. Hold the rum to make them kid-friendly.
I’ve been working on a project with Breville South Africa developing recipes using their top-of-the-range appliances and the Breville Juice and Blend are one of my favourite of them all.
I had been struggling with a juicer that was made circa 1998 and required brute force to get liquid extracted from even the softest fruit. I am blown away with how my new juicer devours fruit and vegetables turning them into liquid gold in a matter of seconds. I am convinced this thing could pull water out of a stone. It’s hardly surprising it is one of their best sellers. When it comes to juice extractors you want a powerful machine for the job, trust me.
The cleaning up of this industrial-strength beast is a breeze when dismantling and putting it back together. You can see this has been well thought through.
I used freshly squeezed pineapple and lime juice to make these pina colada popsicles, and I always squeeze a little extra as a special treat for myself.
These pina colada popsicles are insanely delicious, I promise they will wow.

LOVE IT! Styling is beautiful and the popsicles sound amazing!
Oh, I love a popsicle – and these look terrific! Does it freeze well with the alcohol?
Also, where did you purchase your moulds? I’ve been looking for the sticks but it seems no supplier in South Africa can help me… I’m still struggling with the plastic version.
Gorgeous pops, love the pina colada flavor!
These look delicious! Perfect for the grey, rainy day we are having in London.
They are really great Vicky
How much rum can i add does 3 t stand for 3 tablespoons? Can i do more or Will it prevent it from freezing?
Hi Phillip =- sorry for the confusion the T is tablespoons so the total is 3 x or 45 ml. I find this close to the maximum for freezing but you could go a splash more
