Ice popsicles

I totally love maragritas and I discovered that you also can make margarita popsicles...

To make 12 popsicles:

Ingredients

Classic Lime Margarita (you can google the recipe)

12 disposable paper cups or something to poor your margaritas into
12 wooden popsicle sticks or spoons

Instructions
1. Pour the margarita into each cup.
2. Place the cups into a baking dish and put the dish in the freezer.
3. After about 2 hours, start checking the popsicles. Once they're frozen enough to support the wooden stick, insert a stick into each popsicle, pushing 3/4 of the way into the popsicle.
4. Let freeze several more hours or until completely frozen (overnight if you want to be sure)
5. To serve, peel the paper off and carefully remove the bottom.

To makes  24 popsicles:

Ingredients (for the creamy part)

1 cup heavy cream, divided into two 1/2 cups
1/2 cup whole milk
1/4 cup (50 gr) sugar
pinch of salt
3 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
1. Place 1/2 cup of cream in a small bowl with a fine mesh strainer on top.
2. In a small saucepan, combine the milk, the remaining 1/2 cup of cream, sugar, and salt. Bring to just a simmer.
3. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks until light.
4. Once the milk is simmering, pour a small but steady stream of the liquid into the egg yolks while stirring constantly to temper. Do this slowly while whisking quickly. Once the milk and egg yolks are combined, return to the saucepan and to the stove.
5. Heat the egg yolk and milk mixture while stirring constantly, making sure to scrape the bottom of the pan so that nothing burns or sticks. Slowly cook the mixture until it thickens enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon. Remove from heat immediately once it thickens.
6. Pour the hot custard through the strainer into the prepared cream and stir to cool. Whisk in the vanilla extract.
7. Chill the mixture thoroughly.

Ingredients (for the kiwi layer)
1 ripe kiwi, peeled
1/4 cup (50 gr) sugar
1/4 cup water
1/2 tspn Grand Marnier

Instructions
1. Combine the peeled kiwi, sugar, water, and Grand Marnier in a food processor bowl and puree until smooth.
2. Chill thoroughly.

Ingredients (for the orange layer)
2 cups orange juice, chilled

To assemble
1. Pour each layer into the molds one at a time, freezing for roughly 30-45 minutes between each layer, depending on how thin you make them.




The second recipe is slightly more difficult but it pays off.
Enjoy!
