Popsicles are the new buzz this summer in my kitchen. And the mint pineapple popsicles are topping the flavor chart so far. The sweetness and tartness of pineapple combined with the freshness of mint create a flavor bomb. You need 5 ingredients – pineapple, mint, juice, sugar and chaat masala, to make these delicious pineapple popsicles.
One bite of these mint pineapple popsicles and you will be reminded of kala khatta – a familiar Indian flavor which is hard to describe in words. A flavor that is so close to my heart.
So for anyone else who loves the combination of sweet and sour – I’m happy to report that these pineapple popsicles are both tasty and energizing. And just basically delightful.
The tartness of pineapple is perfectly pitched with little sweetness and spiciness. Its strong flavor can be overwhelming at the first bite. Then slowly you start liking it and finally craving for the second round of popsicles. It is positively intoxicating.
Also, get hold of a good popsicle mold. And then life is sorted at least for the summers. You can blend favorite flavor combinations of your choice and keep ‘popping’.
Once you’ve tracked down the ingredients and a suitable popsicle maker, these are stupid easy to put together. These frozen treats are my favorite desserts for the summer parties. When I do them for the adults, I add a notch of vodka to make them little boozy.
These icy mint pineapple popsicles are a snap to make.
