Prepare the Ingredients:
Begin by peeling the kiwis carefully. Cut two of the kiwis into round slices, keeping them aside to place in the molds later. -
-
Make the Kiwi Yogurt Mixture:
Place the hung curd (Greek yogurt), two peeled kiwis, and honey into a mixer or blender jar. Blend everything together until smooth to form a thick, creamy puree. Adjust the sweetness by adding more honey if desired. -
Fill the Molds:
Pour the kiwi-yogurt mixture into your popsicle molds, filling them about 2/3 of the way. Drop the remaining kiwi slices into each mold to add a fun visual element and a burst of extra flavor in each popsicle. -
Freeze:
Place the filled molds into the freezer and let them freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight, ensuring they set completely. -
Unmold the Popsicles:
Once frozen, take the popsicle molds out of the freezer. To release the popsicles, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds, which will help them come out easily without breaking. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Serve your homemade Kiwi Popsicles as a refreshing dessert or snack. For a delightful meal pairing, enjoy them after a serving of Aglio Olio Pasta and Perfect Gooey Mozzarella Garlic Bread for a complete Italian-inspired meal experience.
Additional Tips
- You can substitute honey with a natural sweetener of your choice, such as agave syrup or maple syrup, depending on your taste preferences.
- For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a squeeze of lime or a few mint leaves to the mixture before blending.
- If you like, you can experiment with adding other fruits like strawberries or mango to the popsicle mixture for a mixed fruit popsicle.
Enjoy your refreshing and healthy Kiwi Popsicles, perfect for those hot summer days or any time you crave something light and delicious!
