Place half of the fruit and all of the sugar, water, and lime juice into a blender and blend until smooth.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon remaining fruit into each popsicle mold, then add the blended mixture, leaving about ½-inch of headspace for expansion.
Insert a popsicle stick into each mold and freeze until pops are solid, about 6 hours or overnight. To release ice pops from molds, run the bottom of the molds briefly under cold water.
Notes
Nutrition facts are approximate and will change depending on the type of fruit you use.
Instead of granulated sugar, use brown sugar, piloncillo, stevia, agave nectar, or artificial sweetener. Or omit sweetening altogether.
Add some spice such as Tajín. Mango or watermelon with chili-lime seasoning are traditional and a favorite.
Try other flavor boosters such fresh mint, edible flowers, vanilla, and cinnamon.
Make boozy popsicles spiked with a splash of alcohol.
