We Don't Do "Bomb" Pops
-But somehow, Nonviolent Pacifist Pops with gelatin doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.
I was inspired by THIS recipe, but I knew Danny wouldn't go for strawberries with balsamic vinegar, and honey didn't sound too great either. The cheesecake layer was more work than I wanted, so I went ahead and made a small batch of strawberry and blueberry instead. I wanted to post a link to the original because it is an excellent tutorial if you feel inspired to do something impressive. Danny is impressed enough by the fact I'm making ice-lollies, I don't need to go out on a limb and make them fancy.
This will make enough for ten small pops.
For the strawberry:
2 cups crushed strawberries
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
For the blueberry
2 cups crushed blueberries
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
For the gelatin
2 cups warm water
1/2 packet unflavoured gelatin
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin on the water and let soak a few minutes before stirring to dissolve.
Mix the strawberry and blueberry slurries separately in the blender washing it out between batches. Add half the softened gelatin to each as you blend.
Pour first layer into dixie cups. Chill about twenty minutes or until set but not completely frozen. Insert stick. Pour in the second layer. Return to freezer until firm (about two hours).
