Dare I say I have created a world's first!? I don't know...maybe!? While quilting has taken a back burner for the last couple of months there is always one thing I can count on doing, no matter how busy life gets, and that is eating...and cooking...and keeping the kids' stomachs full and happy :)
Faced with a large tub of greek yogurt, 1 lonely ripe banana and 3 hot and hungry kids, I decided to make bananas foster popsicles....only, I couldn't find a recipe!? So, I decided to invent one of my own! Here's what I came up with!
Creamy Bananas Foster Popsicles
(with my molds, which are smaller, I yielded 6 popsicles -- this will vary based on your molds...)
Ingredients:
1 ripe Banana
1/8 cup Brown Sugar
1/8 tsp Allspice
1/4 tsp Nutmeg
1 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
Directions:
In a small bowl, mash banana and add all remaining ingredients EXCEPT for the yogurt. Mix to combine.
Add banana mix to a small saucepan and heat over medium low heat for 3-4 min or until sugar has dissolved.
Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, add yogurt to the saucepan and mix completely. Next spoon yogurt/banana mixture into popsicle molds. Place in freezer and wait....overnight is best, but check after 4-6 hours, if you're lucky, they might be ready!
Note: To make this an adult version add Rum! Or even rum flavoring from the spice aisle....I'm going to try it on the next go -- I'll let you know how it turns out!

Although my expectations weren't high, I was blown away by these! Such a perfect summer treat! The kids devoured them, and I, well...am about to have my second one of the day! I hope you give them a try!
