Are you enjoying the summer so far?
We're starting to cross a few things off the 100 Things To Do This Summer list... This being one of them!
These are like popsicles for the grown ups, but the kids love them too!
Mango Lemonade Pops
makes 6 pops
1/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup water
1 cup peeled, chopped fresh or frozen mango (about 1 mango)
3/4 cup water
2 Tbsp lemon juice
A couple of fresh mint leaves
Plastic cups or Dixie cups
Popsicle sticks
1. Make a syrup with the sugar & water by combining the two in a small saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil. Cook until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat & let cool completely.
2. In a blender, combine remaining ingredients. Blend until smooth. Stir in syrup, mixing well.
3. To make pops, divide mixture evenly into 6 plastic cups. I just used disposable party cups.
4. Freeze for about an hour or until a popsicle stick can be inserted into the mixture & stay standing upright. :)
5. Freeze until firm. To remove pop from cup, run the plastic end under hot water for a few seconds until you can pull the pop out by the stick.
Enjoy this fun summer treat!

ReplyDeleteSo I'm having a birthday party with lots of different popsicles, and I'm wondering what's the best method for keeping them cool, while still having them out of the cup or popsicle container?
