Kulfi and mango lassi-inspired icy, creamy mango pops spiced with cardamom, and with the added crunchiness from the pistachios makes this Mango Cardamom Pistachio Popsicles the perfect sweet treat for a hot summer day!
This Mango Cardamom Pistachio Popsicles is inspired by both kulfi and mango lassi, which both happen to be my absolute favourites! I wanted to make an easy summer dessert that you can prepare quickly and enjoy within the same day. While I was brainstorming for easy, delicious summer desserts, I thought about my own summer favourites, kulfi and mango lassi, and how awesome it would be to have both in one dessert – thus, Mango Cardamom Pistachio Popsicles was born. What is special about this dessert is that its flavours take inspiration from kulfi, and the way it is made is closer to how mango lassi is made. It’s honestly the best of both worlds. Go ahead and give this Mango Cardamom Pistachio Popsicles a try!
Mango Cardamom Pistachio Popsicles
Ingredients
- 60 g Pistachio deshelled and crushed/roughly chopped
- 100 g Frozen Mango ripe
- 110 ml Whole Milk
- 35 ml Heavy Cream 35 % fat
- 35 g Greek Yoghurt 10 % fat
- ½ tsp Ground Cardamom
- 15 g Fine White Sugar / Castor Sugar
Instructions
- In a smoothie or regular blender (ensure it can blend frozen fruits), combine the frozen mango, whole milk, heavy cream, Greek yogurt, ground cardamom and fine white sugar. Blend until completely smooth.
- Stir in the crushed or roughly chopped pistachios using a spoon until evenly distributed.
- Pour the mixture into popsicle moulds, leaving a little space at the top to prevent overflow when inserting the sticks. Gently tap the moulds on the counter to remove air bubbles. Insert the popsicle sticks.
- Place the moulds in the freezer and let them freeze for at least 3 hours. If they are still slightly soft, leave them for another hour or freeze them overnight for best results.
- To remove the popsicles, run each mould under hot water for 2–5 seconds, then gently pull to release. If needed, repeat the process until they come out easily.
- Enjoy!
