Frozen Fridays #10

It's classic, and it had to be done. Orange creamsickles!
I was given the interesting idea of using orange creamsicle soda pop mixed with half and half for these. The orange soda was cheaper than buying oranges or orange juice, although probably not as healthy. Sure tasted yummy, though!

 

Ingredients: 

Half & Half

Orange cream soda

Frozen Fridays #9

Out of all my popsicles, I've been the happiest with the texture of this one. A deliciously soft combination of blueberries, greek yogurt, and vanilla, inspired by a bowl of leftover blueberries that I found sitting out on the counter.

 

Ingredients:

1 personal sized container of greek yogurt

1/2 cup fresh blueberries

Milk

Vanilla creamer

Throw everything together in the blender, add enough milk to make it a smoothie consistency, and put in four vanilla flavored coffee creamers. Yum!

Frozen Fridays #8

Odd as it sounds, this week's popsicle was inspired by a candle. Yes, a candle.

My boyfriend bought me a watermelon-lemonade Bath & Body Works candle a little ways back. It smells FANASTIC. So, I got to thinking, how would this taste in a popsicle? Well, to answer my own question, it tastes quite nice. It's a delicious and refreshing blend! Interestingly, you get more of the flavor when you suck on it than when you bite it. I guess it's sort of like how Otter Pops work.

Anyhow, this one is certainly worth a try in this hot July weather!

Ingedients:
Water

Lemon Juice

Sugar

Watermelon

First make the lemonade. I squirted lemon juice into a cup of water and kept taste testing (with a spoon) until it seemed lemon-y enough, then added sugar. After this I cut up several good sized chunks of watermelon (no rind) and put it in the blender with the lemonade. Then it went into the popsicle mold and into the freezer!

For those of you who may be too impatient to wait for the popsicles to freeze, I suggest making some cups of this just for drinking. It's really quite delicious :)

Frozen Fridays #7

Oddly, the ingredients seemed slightly more flavorful before I froze them. Not sure what's up with that. At any rate, while not being extremely outstanding compared to some of my other experiments, this was nevertheless good: Strawberry Iced Tea.

Interestingly, the ingredients decided to separate themselves as they sat, so the strawberry flavor is more noticeable once you reach the bottom of this.

 

Ingredients:

Lipton iced tea

Water

Milk

Sugar

Pureed strawberries.

Blend all ingredients together, skim the foam off the top (eat it! it's yummy!), and pour into your molds and freeze it until hard.

Enjoy, and have a happy Independence Day!
