Ingredients for Peach Popsicles
To make eight popsicles, you only need 1 cup of Greek yogurt, 4 of Lane's peaches, ⅓ cup of agave nectar and ½ cup of almond milk.
Additional ingredients to make the treat a delicious snack include crushed pecans, shredded coconut, chia seeds or granola.
You can substitute the yogurt for any type, including dairy-free versions. You can also use maple syrup or honey instead of agave and any milk.
How to Make Peach Popsicles
Skin and slice the peaches into segments. Using a stick or regular blender, blitz the ripe peaches, agave and milk until smooth.
Pour the mix into the popsicle molds.
If you want, add one or more of the additional ingredients to the base of the popsicle molds before the mix. Add the sticks and freeze for 5-8 hours or until the popsicles are set. Demold your yummy treat, and enjoy the refreshing taste!
Top Tip
If you have any issues popping the popsicles out of the mold, just run warm water over the bottom. Then slide them out, add them to a parchment-lined tray and freeze them for about a half hour. Eat the treats immediately or store them frozen in a sealed container. Enjoy them within three months.
How to Make Popsicle Molds
Popsicle molds are available in various general stores, which makes creating your yummy frozen treat a cinch. If you don't have a mold, there's no need to rush and buy one. There are many alternative ways to make these peachy treats:
- Ice trays: Ice cube trays make mini-pops, but you can eat more! Fill each section with the peachy mix, then partially freeze and insert the sticks. Allow them to freeze fully.
- Paper cups: Plastic or paper cups make neat popsicles — simply add the mixture to the cups. Let them partially set in the freezer, add the sticks and leave until fully frozen. Turn the cups upside down and tap lightly until the pops slide out.
- Small muffin tins: Line a baking tin with foil cupcake wrappers. Add the peach mixture to each wrapper. Freeze and set slightly. Add the sticks and then freeze until solid. You can also leave the sticks and eat the popsicle straight from the cupcake liner.
