Description
A cool, creamy, frozen treat combining the best summer drinks: the mango lassi and the pina colada with a dash of pomegranate for good measure.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Pomegranate Colada Half
- 3 Tablespoons pomegranate juice
- 3/4 cup cream of coconut (this is a pina colade cocktail syrup – see notes in the post about where to purchase)**
- 1/2 cup vanilla greek yogurt
- 5 oz pomegranate seeds/arils
- **cream of coconut will be very sweet. You can substitute a mix of equal parts unsweetened coconut milk and simple syrup if you can’t find cream of coconut, or add just as much simple syrup/honey as you prefer to plain coconut milk until you get the desired sweetness.
For the Mango Lassi Half
- 1 cup mango chunks, purchase them frozen and defrost, or peel and dice ~1 fresh mango
- 1 cup vanilla greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 Tablespoons honey
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
Other Materials
- Popsicle mold or paper cups (I love this mold.)
- popsicle sticks
- freezer
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients except for pomegranate seeds in a blender and blend until smooth.
- Evenly distribute the pomegranate seeds among 6 molds.
- Pour the coconut mixture over the seeds in the molds, filling each one about half way. (While mold is tilted at an angle if you want diagonal stripes.)
- Freeze for 20 minutes then add sticks, supporting with foil if necessary.
- Return to freezer for another 20 minutes, or until solid.
- While coconut half is setting, combine all ingredients for the mango lassi in a blender and blend until combined.
- Once coconut half has frozen, pour mango half on top, filling the molds the rest of the way.
- Freeze until solid, about 45 minutes.
- Drink remaining pomegranate colada and mango lassi mixtures, or make extra popsicles.
- Remove from mold and enjoy immediately!
Notes
- Feel free to swirl the two layers together instead if you don’t want to wait for freezing time. Or just make one or the other as a full-size popsicle.
