Cantaloupe Lime Popsicles

Well, wow.

The best purchase I’ve made in a long time is a popsicle mold. I bought it for myself this May for my birthday and I’ve got to say, it fits pretttty well into the kitchen, even during a cross country move. While I’m not a big fan of single use kitchen gadgets, I think the utter variety you can reap from popsicles makes this $20 investment well worth it.

Use it up.

What is “it”? Anything you like! I’m finding popsicles to be an awesome way to add an extra twist on any flavor you’re used to. Have a lot of blueberries from berry picking? Great! Roast them up, blend them with some basil (why the hell not, right?) and pour into the molds. A leftover half melon? Cool–blitz it to oblivion with a whole peeled lime (trust me). They’re a great initial step into playing with new flavor combinations, because you just need about two cups total of liquid, so it’s low stakes, y’all.

Get creative and comment below what you try out. Think of sweet and savory combinations, or sweet and herbal combinations. Tea, juices, fruits, spices, herbs, baking classics like cocoa powder and vanilla extract… they all can work in a popsicle.
