Why you’ll love this plum ice block recipe

Quick and easy: 4 ingredients and 5 minutes of hands-on prep time only.
Convenience: Single-serve, homemade freeze pops to have a refreshing dessert on demand.

Ingredients

Plums – If you can’t find canned plums in the store, you can substitute the syrup with 1 cup of water and 1/2 cup of sugar. Stew the plums in the sugar syrup for 15 minutes in a saucepan on medium heat until the sugar is fully dissolved and the plums are softened. Adjust the sweetness as needed.
Cinnamon – Ground cinnamon adds depth and warmth to the plums and complements the cardamom in the gin.
Lemon – The lemon juice adds some freshness to the plums. You can add the zest of 1/2 lemon for a more zingy flavor.

Variations

Freeze the blended plum mixture in a single freezer-proof container to enjoy as a granita, or sorbet.
Make a larger batch to enjoy this sweet treat throughout the summer.

FAQ

How long can you store ice blocks?

You can store ice blocks in the freezer for up to 3 months. Just make sure you store the ice blocks in a tightly sealed container or bag to minimize exposure to air and moisture.

Can I make these ice blocks without fresh plums?

Yes, you can use fresh plums but I recommend stewing them in a simple syrup before blending the mixture.
