Description
Mango Lassi Popsicles are made with fresh mangoes, yogurt and spices you’d typically find in an Indian lassi.
Ingredients
Scale
Simple syrup:
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1 pinch saffron
The rest:
- 3 cups cubed mango (about 2 large)
- 1 cup full fat, plain yogurt (not Greek)
- 1 teaspoon lime juice, or to taste
- 1–2 pinches salt
- 1/4 cup pistachios, toasted, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Make simple syrup: Combine sugar, water and spices in a small pot. Turn heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally until sugar melts. Transfer to a bowl to cool.
- Blend mango mixture: Add mango, yogurt, lime juice and salt to a blender. Process until smooth. Strain through a fine sieve. Stir in simple syrup.
- Freeze and serve: Pour into 8 standard popsicle molds and freeze for 1 hour. Top with pistachios, gently pushing into pops. Add sticks to molds and freeze another 4 hours or until completely frozen. Dip molds into warm water to remove pops. Enjoy.
Notes
- To toast the pistachios, preheat oven to 350F. Place on a baking sheet and roast for about 8 minutes, stirring half way through, or until golden brown and fragrant.
- Make sure your mangoes are ripe for the best flavor. They should have some give to them.
- If you’re using Greek yogurt, whisk in a little milk or water until it’s the consistency of regular yogurt.
- Total time does not include time for freezing.
