2 summers ago, I bought this Popsicle mold at Bed Bath and Beyond. It has been a favorite when the weather turns HOT! I will admit, I have gone a little crazy finding some really fab recipe's. (Included below for your tasting pleasure.)
I have used plain old juice, yogurt, and pureed fruit. There are several Popsicle molds available, but I have loved this one.
It has been a great investment. The kids love to help me mix up the ingredients. 4 hours to freeze is sometimes too slow! So far this summer, our favorite concoction is the Strawberry-Blackberry-Pear we just recently made. We had some fresh fruit about to go bad in a day or two, so we whipped these babies up. SO YUM, and just fruit!
