Leftover smoothie + hot weather + ice cube tray =
We only recently acquired this lovely silicone ice cube mold
So.... for now, it's popsicles in the shape of an ice cube with a small something stuck in the middle. In my case, the small something is play utensils from IKEA (stainless steel and food-safe according to IKEA). My smoothie is nothing fancy either: TJ/Straus whole plain organic yogurt + frozen bananas + frozen/fresh berries.
This is definitely not the tidiest way to have a popsicle. But it might be the cheapest way. And they do inevitably fall off the "handle" and fall apart before they are finished. I actually make some cubes with no handle because my 4-year-old sometimes prefers eating them that way with a regular spoon from a bowl. Crushed up, they are a lot like sorbet.
What is your favorite popsicle recipe or mold?

ReplyDeleteI spent the weekend with a friend and her 2 oldest froze apple and orange juice for popsicles. It worked great!
ReplyDeletePurchase yogurt in cups...They do have smaller sizes for children...you will have great popsicle molds......reuse and just fill them with the liqiud of your choice...or just leave them full of yogurt.If they have a plastic lid...just cut a slit through the lid to poke your popsicle stick or spoon in then freeze...
ReplyDeleteour favorite type is mixing up pudding mix with milk and instead of cooking...freeze...yeah fudgesicles...:)
KIM, I was in love with fudgesicles as a kid...
