Honeydew And Cream Ice Pops With Pistachios Recipes

HONEYDEW-AND-CREAM ICE POPS WITH PISTACHIOS

Steps:

• Working in batches, puree honeydew in a blender until smooth. You will have about 4 cups puree. Stir together cream and honey in a medium bowl. Stir in honeydew puree.
• Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon pistachios into each of 16 ice-pop molds. Pour honeydew-cream mixture into molds. Freeze until slushy, about 2 hours. Insert an ice-pop stick into each. Return to freezer until completely frozen, about 6 hours more or up to overnight.

HONEYDEW MELON AND CILANTRO ICE POPS

Steps:

• Bring the sugar and 1/4 cup water to a simmer in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely melted, about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat, add the cilantro and stir until completely wilted. Let cool completely at room temperature, at least 30 minutes.
• Put the melon, lime zest and juice and a pinch of salt in a blender. Strain the cilantro syrup into the blender, pressing the cilantro in the strainer with the back of a spoon to extract as much flavor as possible; discard the cilantro. Puree the melon mixture until completely smooth, scraping down the sides of the blender partway through if needed. Transfer the mixture to a large liquid measuring cup with a pouring spout.
• Pour the mixture into the molds, leaving 1/4 inch of space at the top (the mixture will expand). Insert the sticks. Freeze until solid, 5 hours to overnight. Unmold, and enjoy immediately.

CREAMY PISTACHIO POPS

Steps:

• In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring the evaporated milk to a simmer until small bubbles form around the circumference of the pot.
• Meanwhile, snip the tops of the tea bags and add to the evaporated milk. Whisk in the cardamom. Once the milk is simmering, turn the heat off, cover and let sit and steep for 30 minutes.
• Strain the evaporated milk into a large bowl. Whisk in the condensed milk, heavy cream and pistachios. Pour the mixture into ice pop molds, small bowls or a large bowl. Cover the bowls with a piece of plastic wrap to avoid freezer burn and the formation of a "skin." Pop them into the freezer and freeze overnight.
• When you're ready to serve, run the ice pop mold under hot water to loosen it. You can do the same thing for the smaller bowls if you'd like to serve it as a little kulfi half dome. Garnish with more nuts if you like and serve.

CREAMY LEMONADE ICE POPS

Steps:

• Combine heavy whipping cream, lemon juice, milk, and sugar in a bowl until well combined. Pour into 4 ice pop molds and freeze until solid, at least 4 hours, or overnight.

HONEYDEW LIME POPSICLES

Steps:

• Dissolve sugar in water by stirring if using superfine or by heating in a small heavy saucepan if using regular granulated (then cool).
• Blend half of melon and half of lime juice in a blender until smooth. Add syrup and remaining melon and lime juice and purée until smooth. Force purée through a fine-mesh sieve into a 2-quart glass measure or bowl, pressing on solids and then discarding them.
• Pour mixture into molds and freeze until slushy, about 2 hours.
• Insert sticks, then freeze Popsicles until completely hardened, at least 6 hours.

PISTACHIO ICE CREAM DESSERT

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl. Mix until evenly moistened; press into the bottom and sides of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Bake in preheated oven until crust is lightly browned and smells toasted, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool.
• Mix ice cream, pudding mix, and milk together in a bowl until combined; spread evenly onto prepared crust. Spread whipped topping over ice cream mixture; top with toffee bits. Place in freezer until hardened, at least 1 hour.

MIDORI MELON ICE POPS

Steps:

• Blend all ingredients in a blender until smooth. Pour purée into a sieve lined with a double thickness of cheesecloth set over a bowl and let drain, undisturbed, 30 minutes. Discard solids in sieve. Pour liquids into molds and freeze at least 24 hours. Add sticks when mixture is slushy, about 1 hour.
