About Almond Popsicle

Almond Popsicle is inspired by the popular almond milk made in many South Indian homes. Almond milk is often prepared for festivals and family gatherings. This is a simple homemade dessert made with basic ingredients, many families make similar frozen treats during the holiday season.

Almonds provide the main flavor in this recipe and also make the popsicles rich. Milk helps in giving a soft and creamy texture. Saffron gives a mild aroma and attractive color to the popsicle, along with the sugar balances the overall flavor and sweetness. Once frozen, the popsicles turn out creamy and taste really good.

You can add some cardamom powder for extra flavour, you can use honey or palm sugar instead of white sugar and adding chopped nuts adds a crunch to each piece. You can add khoya to it for a thicker texture, some people like it a little lighter. It can be served after meals or as a dessert in the evening.

I usually make this during peak summer when the weather gets very hot. My family enjoys it after lunch and it goes away very quickly. After keeping it in the freezer, everyone waits for it.

Expert Tips

• Almond – I powder the almonds as finely as possible for a smooth texture. Thick pieces may settle down when frozen.
• boil – While cooking the milk mixture, I keep the flame low, this gives the taste well.
• coolant – I always cool the mixture completely before pouring it into the mold as hot mixture can form ice crystals later.
• do not overfill -Leave a little space at the top of the mold. The mixture expands slightly when frozen.
• freeze overnight – I’ve found that freezing overnight gives a better shape and texture. Low cool down time may not be set properly.
• carefully remove from mold – Expose the mold under running water for a few seconds. The popsicles come out easily without breaking.

Serve the almond popsicles immediately after removing them from the mold. It tastes good as lunch or evening meal in hot weather. Store the popsicles in covered molds or airtight freezer containers. It stays good in the freezer for about a week.
