So, I decided to do something incredibly
weird. I wanted to help out around the house. So, rather than
clean, or do
laundry, I'd make a
low-fat,
tasty, high in
Vitamin C dessert/
snack. I opened up a
Gourmet Magazine, and flipped to the popsicle cover story. Eschewing the alcoholic ones, I decided to make Piña Colada Popsicles. They're really good.
Ingredients:
3 cups of cubed, fresh pineapple
1/2 cup of Malibu rum, or in my case, pineapple juice
1/2 cup of coconut cream (I suggest Coco Lopez), WELL-STIRRED!
Popsicle mold. Duh. Mine was an excellent one from Williams-Sonoma. Not WS brandname, though.
1. Before we begin, this makes 8 popsicles with a little bit of the mix left over. It tastes good frozen or not, so just have a little sip. Anyhow, throw all the ingredients in a
blender, and whir, whir, whir until
smooth.
2. Strain ingredients through a fine
sieve, into a large glass
measuring cup. This is to get rid of pineapple
pulp you might have missed.
3. Pour mixture into your popsicle mold. Let the mold freeze for a short period of time (20 minutes without
rum, an hour with), so as to put in your sticks more effectively.
4.
Freeze the mold. It should take around 4 hours
non-alcoholic, but a good 24 with rum. Remove carefully from the mold, now, ya hear?
