Flowers And Posies Frozen In Time Fresh Floral Ice Cubes Recipes

Steps:

• Place ice cubes in a 1-inch layer at the bottom of the larger bain marie. Place the smaller bain marie inside of the larger and start layering ice and flowers. Pour a layer of ice then lay flowers in around and up the wall and secure them in place with more ice cubes. More flowers looks better than less once it's frozen, plus try to place them near then outside wall versus the inside wall.
• Once filled, use twine to tie the two containers together tightly. Fill the gap between the 2 containers with water and place it in a pan then freeze it overnight. The next day, remove the twine and heat the inside container with a torch or warm water and slowly try to spin it back and forth to remove it. There may be suction, break it with a thin knife. Then warm the outside container and remove it to reveal your flower ice sculpture. Return it to the freezer until you are ready to use it for display. Wrap the base in a white cloth napkin and place it on a serving tray to catch any water that melts while it's on display. Fill with scoops of sorbet, ice cream, or ice cubes for drinks.

Steps:

• Purée strawberries, raspberries, rosé, grapefruit juice, and sugar on high speed in a blender until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring cup; discard seeds and foam.
• Divide strawberry mixture among ice-pop molds, leaving about 1" space at the top. Freeze until slushy, about 1 hour. Stir with an ice-pop stick, then add fresh berries, stirring to incorporate with stick.
• Cover molds, insert sticks, and freeze until ice pops are solid, at least 4 hours.
• Do Ahead
• Ice pops can be made 3 months ahead. Freeze until solid, then transfer to an airtight container and keep frozen.
