Fru Fru Pops

Korina Adkins is a full-time web developer and avid home canner. She once joked that if she ever lost her job, she’d sell popsicles. Adkins hasn’t lost her job, but lucky for us, she has started selling popsicles.

Fru Fru Pops are no ordinary ice pops. A play on both “fancy” and “fruit,” Fru Fru Pops are made with natural ingredients including organic sugar and local fruit. Seasonal flavors include peaches and cream with brown sugar; apple and cajeta (goat’s milk caramel); and melon and ancho chile. Non-seasonal pops include Mexican chocolate.

Unlike commercial pops made with high-fructose corn syrup and other sugars, Fru Fru Pops are barely sweet, meaning you taste the main ingredients first. We love the avocado-lime with coconut milk and the caramel-tasting mesquite bean, which is made with mesquite syrup that Adkins boils from hand-harvested mesquite beans and swirled with cream from Yuma.

Adkins, a member of the Phoenix Street Food Coalition, says, “I generally have six flavors at any given time, including some that everyone will like, some with fruit and herb and some out-of-the-box flavor (such as mulberry-lavender) for the adventurous.”

Find Fru Fru Pops at the Downtown Phoenix Public Market on Saturdays ($2.50 each), or special order them through the Fru Fru Pops website.
