Ingredients
- 1 cup mixed fresh fruit (such as berries, kiwi, mango, pineapple, and grapes), chopped as needed

Instructions
- Prepare the Fruit: Wash and chop the mixed fresh fruit into bite-sized pieces suitable for layering in the molds.
- Layer the Fruit: Place a small layer of mixed fruit at the bottom of each lolly mold, then add a small amount of fruit juice over the fruit to cover it slightly. Continue alternating layers of fruit and juice until the molds are nearly full.
- Insert Sticks and Freeze: Insert sticks into each mold, ensuring they stand upright. Place the molds in the freezer and freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely solid.

Notes
- Use fresh, ripe fruit for the best flavor and texture.
- Adjust the type of fruit juice to complement the chosen fruit layers.
- To avoid fruit settling unevenly, freeze in stages: add a layer, freeze until partially solid, then add the next layer.
- For an extra creamy texture, substitute part of the juice with fruit-flavored yogurt.
