Ice Pops: Recipes for Fresh and Flavorful Frozen Treats

By Shelly Kaldunski
Weldon Owen - 2011

This pop was marred by a too-chunky texture and a too-earthy, not-sweet taste. This pop wasn't a treat, as such--it wasn't refreshing and sprightly--but it tasted healthy.

This made a good pop, refreshing and sweet, but not too sweet. The coffee flavor was strong, but the cream and sugar balanced it well.

This pop was grainy in texture (like ice milk) and the flavor was too intense to be refreshing. I was hoping it would be like heavenly buttermilk ice cream with a lemon-y flavor, but it was not. The lemon flavor was too dominant and the texture was not creamy.
