The Black Peppercorn Exploring the joy of food!
My birthday was this past Monday and I turned the big 4-0. Leading up to my birthday, I was thinking that turning 40 would bother me. In the end, it was no big deal. It’s just one more year, right? Lots of people asked what I was going to grill for my birthday but we actually went to a restaurant. There is a buffet, close to our home, that is free on your birthday. I love it and we have been there for my last 4 birthdays. People at the tables around us were also there celebrating birthdays. It was one big birthday party!!
One of the things I got for my birthday was a popsicle mold. I have been wanting one for a while and this mold is the perfect one. I love the classic look of these popsicles and that they use popsicle sticks. I expect that the summer of 2012 will provide many different popsicle recipes on The Black Peppercorn.
Since getting these molds, I have already made 5 batches of popsicles. They have mostly been made with just juice. Regardless, the kids love them. One time, though, I made mango lassi popsicles. Whe love smoothies, especially with mango. So, making them into popsicles was an awesome idea and they were gobbled up as soon as they were frozen.
After making mango popsicles, I am imagining what will be next: strawberry, raspberry, blueberry and more!!!
- 2 cups mango fruit, cubed
- 1 cup yogurt
- 1 cup milk
- 3 tbsp honey
- ¼ tsp cardamom
- Puree all ingredients in a blender until smooth and runny.
- Pour the mixture into popsicle molds.
- Freeze until solid.
- Enjoy them on a hot summer day!

Fabulous idea, Steve! Mango lassi is always made as soon as they are in season. Never really tried making popsicles though. Gorgeous clicks and great recipe!

Happy belated birthday Steve! I like the new changes to your site, especially the profile Hi! up there.
These days I feel like you can cut the humidity with a knife and these popsicles would really be a tasty and refreshing relief. Nice touch with the cardamon in there as well-yum!

Yay!! Happy Birthday Steve!! I love your popsicle mold! It is the classic look and it’s perfect. I also like that it uses traditional popsicle sticks… I need to find some of those. I only found craft sticks… and I don’t think those are safe for food. Your pictures are stunning too! Mango lassi is one of my favorites and I bet it was refreshing and wonderful sweet treat.
Have a great weekend! ~ Ramona

Post looks great!
I can’t believe you’re forty – you certainly don’t look it.
These popsicles look great. I got a mold this year for the first time and I went crazy making popsicles out of everything.
Glad you had an awesome birthday. Love the popsicle molds. I have the same one and adore it. Love these pops, mango and cardamom would taste incredible together.

I could have really used one of these today! Mango is so delicious, and I really like the addition of cardamom to this popsicle!
I came so close to buying a mold recently, but I didn’t think it was what I wanted…I like yours better and will keep looking! My daughter is really into making popsicles for her son…I’ll have to let her know about your post!
Happy 40th!
