Makes 4 servings
Ingredients:
9 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons sugar
5 ounces kiwi, peeled
6 ounces mango, peeled
6 ounces fresh raspberries
Directions:
Make a simple syrup by combining water and sugar in a small pot and bringing to a boil for about four to five minutes on medium heat. Set aside.
Puree kiwis, mangos and raspberries one fruit at a time in a blender. Set aside in three small bowls. Divide the simple syrup among the fruit purees and mix in.
Equally fill four five-ounce cups with the kiwi puree and place in the freezer; freeze one hour.
Add mango puree and freeze 20 minutes. Insert sticks and freeze at least two hours. Finish by filling the cups with the raspberry puree and freeze overnight.
