We were walking the streets of Hong Kong, heading towards a restaurant for lunch, when the kids noticed a little cart selling adorable pineapple pops. They begged me to stop. It was unbearably hot and the thought of a cool treat was tempting, but I knew even one pineapple pop would take away their appetites for lunch. (Apparently I was not being much fun that day.) We reluctantly moved on and I promised we would make our own version once we returned home. So here they are- the frozen pineapple pops we never had in Hong Kong. I realize this is an idea rather than a recipe, but sometimes inspiration is best when kept simple. Finding a perfectly ripe and sweet pineapple is key, so search out the best you can find. My kids loved these best after being frozen for 4-5 hours when the pineapple is firm yet still soft enough to bite.
