Popsicle #35 Peach Mint
(blend up peaches, chopped mint and a smidgeon of maple syrup)
Pretty good. It would have been better with ripe peaches and local mint but that won’t happen for a few weeks.

Popsicle #34 Peanut Butter Chocolate Banana
(banana, cocoa powder, peanut butter, blend)
I’ve been trying to think of good peanut butter recipes and I thought I would try just adding it into my banana chocolate standard. It was ok but it would have worked better with just chocolate and peanut butter with no banana.

Popsicle #33 Pumpkin Pecan Pie
(pumpkin, sweetened condensed milk and candied pecans)
This one combined the pumpkin pie popsicle idea with the peach praline. It was also trying to recreate the pumpkin pecan pie my Aunt Vicky always made for Thanksgiving. I was lazy and decided to try to make the candied pecans in a frying pan over the stove technique. This technique didn’t work nearly as well as the slow baking in the oven and they kinda burned.
Popsicle #32 Rhubarb Kiwi
(slice up rhubarb, put in sauce pan with sugar, cinnamon, and a tiny amount of water cook until soft. Slice up kiwi and put in mold with rhubarb mixture)
Delicious. Great texture and the kiwi made the pops pretty. I’m also allergic to strawberries and this sorta still tasted like them. Definitely worth a repeat. Somehow I forgot to take a photo of this one.
Popsicle #31 Mango Cardamom
(slice up a ripe mango add cardamom, greek yogurt and a bit of maple syrup. Blend)
I didn’t measure the cardamom and a lot sorta fell into this popsicle. Not the best.
Hammer Bob and the pop!
Popsicle #30 Greener More Herbaceous Pineapple Cilantro
(blend one can of pineapple with about ½ cup of cilantro with a tad of maple syrup)
I’ve made these ones before but I used my immersion blender. This time I use my housemate’s blender. Way more intense flavor and they are incredibly green. These are so easy to make that my housemate Lindsay told me that even a monkey could make then. Maybe I shouldn’t share my secret recipes anymore….

Popsicle #29 Chocolate Coconut
(make this recipe and mix in coconut flakes and freeze)
Creamy and great consistency. Although you need to check your teeth for stray coconut flakes but that is what friends are for, right? Vegan and good for my lactose intolerance friends, like Alison who got some of these for her 30th birthday party.
