A lassi is a yogurt-based drink that originated in the Punjab region of India. Lassis are often flavored with spices or fruit — mango is very popular. This recipe puts the flavors of a mango lassi into a smooth, sweet popsicle.
Yield: 6 popsicles
1 1/2 cups (10 ounces) fresh or frozen chopped mango
1 1/2 cups plain yogurt
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon lime juice, squeezed from 1/2 lime
1. PROCESS: Place all ingredients in a food processor. Process mixture until smooth, 30 to 40 seconds, scraping down sides of bowl halfway through.
2. FILL: Pour mixture into a large liquid measuring cup. Divide mixture evenly among ice pop molds.
3. FREEZE: Insert 1 ice pop stick in the center of each mold and seal with cover. Place in the freezer and chill until firm, at least 6 hours or up to five days.
4. UNMOLD: Hold mold under warm running water for 30 seconds to thaw slightly. Slide popsicle out of mold.
