We've been having a heat wave here so it's time to re-stock my stash of popsicles. I'm going with fall flavors even if it doesn't feel at all like fall - after three days in a row of > 100°F temps, we're expecting a big cool down to 90F today
Yesterday, I made these pumpkin pie with whipped cream pops from the People's Pops cookbook.
These are sweetened with a simple syrup infused with fresh ginger, cloves, star anise, allspice and cardamom. Nice flavors .
I roasted a sugar pumpkin per the recipe but might try canned pumpkin next time. Or even butternut squash.
Also, I over whipped the cream so it didn't swirl in as nicely as I wanted. I think I might just swirl in the heavy cream as is. Whipping 2 oz of cream is a bit of a pain.
If serving for a party, I'd dip them in some speculoos cookie or graham cracker crumbs.
Next up: cranberry, star anise & Campari. Gotta go get some cranberries.
