Here is an quick way to make homemade popsicles without a popsicle mold. Just use ice cube trays! Stick a wooden stick in the middle to make mini popsicles, and they come out looking pretty cute. Silicon molds (for cupcakes and chocolates in the picture below) work, too.
Sweet, soft pop from red beans, tang of Greek yogurt, and airy whipped cream work together to your summer treat one bite at a time. I also thought because they're so small, it would be good for portion control. Well, I should know by now that I'd keep eating. And I did.
Feel free to adjust the ratio of red beans, yogurt and whipped cream. More red beans and yogurt will result in rather icicle-y texture (and more tang from yogurt) whereas more whipped cream will, well, lead to a creamier texture. All in all though, they're small enough that you'll probably enjoy whatever adjustments you make to these frozen treats!
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup Sweet red beans (단팥 - dan pat) -- canned or make your own!
1 cup Greek yogurt, 2% fat
1/2 cup Heavy cream
2 tablespoons Sugar
DIRECTIONS:
1. Mix sweet red beans with Greek yogurt.
2. Whisk heavy cream in a metal bowl. Once it starts to thicken, add sugar and keep whisking to a soft whipped cream consistency. Don't overwhip! Fold whipped cream into the red bean and yogurt mix.
3. Pour the mix into ice cube trays and/or silicon baking molds. Feel free to place wooden sticks in the middle if it's feasible. Of course, if you have proper popsicle molds, by all means, use them.
4. Freeze until firm and enjoy!
! TIPS !
If you're serving a few mini pops out on a hot day, place crushed ice in a bowl, stack another bowl on top to put the popsicles (picture on top). It will keep the pops chilled for a little longer.
