There are really a lot of options. You can make the juice at home by yourself or buy it ready. This is not so important. It should be noted that the most delicious fruit ice is obtained from sweet fruits or from juice, which has natural sweeteners.
2. Fill the molds
Pour juice into special ice cream trays or plastic cups. Leave 1-1.5 centimeters to the edge. This is due to the fact that during freezing, fruit juice may increase in volume. Stick ice cream sticks into the center.
3. Cover the molds and send to the freezer.

1. Prepare each layer separately.
If you use fruit juice, then no additional measures should be taken. And if you are cooking ice cream from fruit pulp or berries, then it is better to beat them well using a blender.
2. Fill the molds with the first layer.
Pour the very first layer into the molds (this ingredient will be at the top of your future ice cream) and send them to the freezer for 30-40 minutes, having previously covered the lid.
3. Add a second layer
Pour the second over the first layer. Do not worry about the first layer: the molds spent enough time in the freezer, and the mixture had time to harden a little. Cover with a lid and send the molds into the freezer for another 30-40 minutes.
4. Repeat the same for the remaining layers.
If you want to make more layers, then repeat steps from 1-3 for the remaining ingredients. On average, freeze each new layer for about 30 minutes.
