The fall equinox has come and gone and the weather hasn't gotten the message (I blame climate change). Facing a week of highs in the 90s I found myself completely in the mood to make popsicles. With a recipe note hyping the cooling properties of the cucumber lime yogurt pops I decided to give them a shot.
It's really easy to put everything in the blender then pour it into the molds. This stuff is also thick enough from the cucumber and Greek yogurt that the popsicle sticks stayed upright without effort.

The last time I attempted homemade popsicles was years ago and not successful, I remember having a horrible time trying (and failing) to get them out of the molds intact. The secret after some googling turns out to be running the molds under hot water for 10-15 seconds; this is not something mentioned in any of the recipes I've looked at (including Mr. Brown's). I had bought a batch of clear molds and I could actually see a color change as the pops detached a bit from the mold, so I recommend clear molds for anyone else who wants to try something like this.

I'm more excited that it worked than about the pops themselves <shrug>
Difficulty Level: Medium
Will It Get Made Again? No, I'm not in love enough with the flavor to repeat these. They have given me a major confidence boost for trying more homemade popsicles though and now I'm excited to try the Peach Punch Pops that are still on the list.
