Yesterday we made our first batch of summer popsicles, and, inspired by the new popsicle cookbook Paletas, we made two awesome flavors: avocado (!) and Greek yogurt with blackberry.
The avocado popsicle was surprisingly sweet and refreshing...
...and the Greek yogurt with blackberry popsicle was creamy and tart.
Here are the recipes, if you'd like to try them out. Enjoy!(Photos by our summer babysitter Sophie Mathewson, who just happens to be a photographer!)
Whoa!!! That's amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteThose sound amazing. I don't usually crave popsicles, but I've been eating like 3 a day with it so hot outside this week. I'm definitely going to try these recipes!
ReplyDeleteUh, you should try this out - soo simple, sooo good!;
ReplyDelete- 2 advocados
- 1 cup of milk
- 2-3 table spoons sugar
- 5 ice cubes
HOW TO: Put it in a blender! Eat it! YUM!! A traditional Philippine recipe ;)
hmm. I don't know about avocado but the yogurt & berries look delicious!
ReplyDeletebethany, that sounds amazing! and michelle, truly, they were SO. GOOD. really sweet and creamy.
ReplyDeletethe blackberry popsicle looks A-MAZ-ING!
ReplyDeleteI love avocados so I'm totally trying that recipe this weekend! Thanks, Joanna and have a great Friday:)
ReplyDeleteWell now those just look delicious!! I absolutely am going to make yogurt pops this weekend...don't know if I'm brave enough for avocado!

Oh, this just made my summer a few points more awesome!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of getting a popsicle mold because every year I regret not buying one while I melt in the summer heat. Definitely more healthy than eating ice cream!
ReplyDeleteThose look delicious! I'm definitely going to have to try making these!
ReplyDeleteH.
ooh these look delish! i'm curious about the avocado one so that's first on my list to try this weekend! X
ReplyDeleteThose are also very pretty. (I like Sophie's blog, btw).
ReplyDeleteJust need to pick up some berries & I can make these. I'll have to fashion something around the kitchen as a mold, but I'm fairly confident I can find something.
Thanks!
Oh! YUM. What a lovely yesterday.
ReplyDeleteHow unique! These sound so yummy, thanks for sharing Joanna!

I want the avocado right now
ReplyDeleteThese will be just right for the hot, humid weather that we have here, all year round. The avocado one sounds ultra delicious!
ReplyDeleteYUM! Totes trying the avocado one.
ReplyDeleteI love that your babysitter is also a photographer...you hit the babysitter jackpot!
Im going to try that this sunday! love the colours :)
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious...and very nice photos Sophie!

ReplyDeleteOh my....
ReplyDeletei'm all for the avocado popsicle- sounds creamy + delicious :) i'd like to try mixing it with fruits. i can't wait to try a prosecco + peach popsicle recipe that i've been holding on to.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's very different about the avocado ones. I'm very intrigued.

Thanks for the avocado recipe! My mom loves avocado and I absolutely have to send this to her..unfortunately I'm allergic, but I just might have a taste anyway :)
ReplyDeletewe're about to make watermelon pops here in our house. your popsicles look incredible --uber professional! perhaps this is your new calling in life, joanna! (: xo.
ReplyDeletehaha, kms, the credit all goes to sophie! :)
ReplyDeleteavocado!? that's interesting but i bet it's sooo yummy!!
ReplyDelete♥ allister bee blog
lotta, how tragic to be allergic to avocados! :)
ReplyDeletelooks great

Gorgeous photos, Sophie!! Did Toby try a popsicle?
ReplyDeleteThose look just as tasty for the eyes as they do for the mouth. I have some greek yogurt that is going to be repurposed this weekend :) Thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteHomemade avocado ice cream is one of my absolute fave's!!!
ReplyDeleteWow! I want to try it! The one with the blackberries seem delicious!!
ReplyDeletehaha, yes, toby tried both -- he LOVED the avocado, and thought the greek one was too tart. :)
ReplyDeleteJo! We need a Father's day gift round up!!!
ReplyDelete:) xoxo
ahhh I'm affraid. the avacado sounds interesting and I LOVE berries.. so maybe I need to man up and get my avocado on?
ReplyDeletewow!!
ReplyDeletethey are so tempting. sometimes i just eat the avocado right away. just crop it with spoon, put them in a glass or bowl, pour some sugar and chocolate flavoured carnation milk. yummy
maybe coat the avocado one in ground up tortilla chips (tortilla powder)?
ReplyDeletewow, i gotta try these recipes! esp the avocado one. thanks for sharing such delightful treats!
ReplyDeleteThose look fantastic! I might have to buy that book.
ReplyDeletei bought popsicle molds last week and didn't use them yet. i'm so making the blackberry ones today! yay! thank you!! <3
ReplyDeleteThese look great! Hmm...finally a way to incorporate avocado into my dessert! LOL

love paletas! You should try Jicama popsicles! they are all the rave in Mexico right now, I just posted a tutorial for them here http://www.perachapita.com/2011/06/tutorial-para-paletas-de-jicama.html
ReplyDeleteLove your blog! Huge fan :)
Hi Joanna,
ReplyDeleteCan I ask what popsicle molds that you used? Been searching for some!
Thanks,
Jennifer
I want to try both! Avocado! I had never imagined this flavour!
ReplyDeleteWow, would have never thought avocado would make a good popsicle, but those look delish!
ReplyDeleteI actually made a frozen yogurt of sorts yesterday
ReplyDeleteGreek yogurt, cardamom and stevia to taste with Ice...
All part of competition dieting and training. It was delish.
It tasted like kulfi which is an indian dessert that I love!
yes! I love this cookbook! I recently made the mango chile popsicles and they were a hit.
ReplyDeletei dont know what spurred it but i was thinking about making avocado popsicles the other day. then i thought that idea was too weird. its good to know it tastes good.
ReplyDeletehttp://lachapstickfanatique.blogspot.com
Interesting! Looks good though!
ReplyDeleteabigail, it's coming!!! ;)
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling I would really love the avocado. This is getting bookmarked, for sure!
ReplyDeleteThe blackberry one looks SO good. I am drooling!
ReplyDeleteThank you for these recipes! How sweet are you. Have a lovely, sunny weekend! xo Lola
ReplyDeleteThey look delicious - what a brilliant idea.
ReplyDeleteAvocado, huh? I don't know about that. Did you go to Mitchell's when you were in San Francisco? Because they have the most amazing flavors (mexican chocolate being my favorite) but they also do all kinds of tropical fruits and avocado too. I've always been suspicious of that though. You're brave and adventurous for trying it. Greek yogurt and blackberry on the other hand, that I could totally get behind. Yum
ReplyDeletehttp://nomadic-d.blogspot.com
Yum! I love that you have a greek yogurt popsicle too. Its too healthy to not find such creative uses!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have thought about avocado for ice-creams, not that I'm going to try them, Mila hates avocados and mushrooms but your photos look yummie
ReplyDeletehttp://bodieandfou.blogspot.com/2011/06/facebook-competition-win-gorgeous-meow.html
Joanna, where did you get your molds? I prefer using a traditional wooden stick (like you did) as opposed to the plastic ones.
ReplyDeleteHi Joanna, thanks again for a great week of posts! I am going to check out this Popsicle recipe at some point this summer...well, it's always summer out here in Malaysia! What a nice way to cool down with homemade desserts. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteGrace at www.wrinkledchiffon.com
you had me at avocado. this looks so incredibly yummy, joanna - i just mastered my favorite watermelon mint pops and cannot wait to add these to my summer recipe box ;)
ReplyDeletehappy weekend!
xo,

ReplyDeletethistle handmade
It looks so yummy!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely week end!
Annalisa
yummm.
ReplyDeleteyum that sounds good!
ReplyDeleteAvocado popcicle?!?
ReplyDeleteNot normally something I'd think of eating...but intriguing....
Amazing! That combines two of my favorite parts of summer: popsicles and avocados! I had been planning on trying to find some sort of sugar-free homemade popsicles, but I think I'll make an exception :)
ReplyDeleteThe kids I nanny love avocado, so I am really intrigued by this!
ReplyDeleteThey interviewed the author on Martha Stewart radio the other day. After hearing about this book, I have to go get it this weekend. Avocado sounds delish!
ReplyDeleteI could really use a greek yogurt with blackberry popsicle right about now.
ReplyDeletewe went to a vietnamese restaurant here in barcelona and had avocado ice-cream for our first time! we learned that in vietnam, they eat avocado with sugar, and the owner explained he thought it was so strange when he saw people put salt on it in the u.s.! anyway, it was so smooth and delicious!
ReplyDeletethe blackberry ones looks delicious!!
Those look amazing! I'm definitely going to try the avo recipe. Here's another unusual summer recipe that I tried - Watermelon & paneer curry. It's delish!
ReplyDeletehttp://hllokddo.com/?p=151
these look so yummy!!
ReplyDeletemmmm blackberry!
ReplyDeletehttp://sweetharvestmoon.blogspot.com
yum, what genius flavors! I made popsicles instead of cake for my birthday this year--whole fruit raspberry, kiwi, and watermelon. They were awesome and definitely have me going on a popsicle kick...can't wait to try out the greek yogurt one! thanks joanna!
ReplyDelete1 frozen banana
ReplyDelete1 avocado
some honey if your a sweet tooth
all in the blender...
the most amazing icecream.
delish!

Avocado popsicle... wowza! So a back story: I'm an east coast girl who moved to California as an adult and never ever ate an avocado before I moved here. A terrible confession, I know, but it's very true. Now I eat avocados nearly daily and have friends who own avocado orchards so...score! There is a town about 15 miles south of us wherein, each year, they celebrate with an avocado festival. They have vats of guacamole and avocado ice cream. But, you know what? I haven't eaten any thing out of those vats because it creeps me out to think of all those communal hands double dipping. Surely they violate a good 27 health codes, but one day I hope to brave the avocado ice cream vat- just for a taste of its awesomeness. Meantime... I'll be making these popsicles (thank you for sharing!)
ReplyDeleteOh these look so good. Wish I could have had these yesterday it was SO HOT!
ReplyDeleteLooks so delish! Will definitely try it!
ReplyDeleteLove,
Camie

How funny that you posted this (relatively) soon after my roommate took a frozen avocado milkshake out of the freezer! I am definitely inspired to try this, even though I am not a popsicle person. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious! All we need here in the Pacific NW is some more sun and I'll be ready make these delicious treats.
ReplyDeletehere are the great popsicle molds with wooden sticks: http://amzn.to/krJyHM

when i was younger, my grandma would always freeze avocados, sugar and milk in cups. oh, memories. always loved it.. my boyfriend says it sounds weird. he doesn't know what hes missing ;)
ReplyDeleteHow cool! I bet the avocado is creamy and refreshing...though I may try the yogurt one first :)

Here in Brazil we eat avocado with sugar too, it's just another fruit to us. We have ice cream, popsicles, we blend it with milk and sugar and drink it. It's funny (and kind of puzzling) to read the comments in this post. Is it really THAT weird? The only time I ate avocado as salad was on a mexican restaurant...
ReplyDeleteAvocado popsicles! What a curious idea - I am intrigued and will definitely be trying them out. Don't have blackberries here in Greece so will go for yoghurt and strawberries instead.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea!

Funny story, when I used to babysit the kids I watched turned me on to avocado popsicles. They were 4 and 2 respectively, and when they asked me to try it I turned my nose up to the idea (and I'm supposed to be the adult). Turns out, they're amazing! I forgot about them since but I'll have to test out your recipe!
ReplyDeleteI tried both recipes this week! they are absolutely delicious ... and adorable. the avocado one, especially! so creamy! what a treat!
ReplyDeleteI made the yoghurt ice lollies last week and posted a couple of pictures here http://hllokddo.com/
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the recipes!
stopping over from pinterest- curious to know what else went in the avacado pops- these are beautiful! and I bet tasty!
ReplyDeleteIt won't work in actual fact, that is exactly what I suppose.
ReplyDeleteWow!! Avocado lollies is totally new to me. Sounds delicious. Looking forward to try it out.
ReplyDeleteWow! I'm not totally sold on the avocado popsicles yet... though they sure are pretty!
