Lemon Pie Popsicles

It’s that time of year: HOT. I want to eat only cold and frozen food, and popsicles fit that bill!

One of these days I will stop complaining about how hot it is. (When that day comes, you’ll know it’s winter.) Pretty much all I want to do right now is lay on top of the fan and eat frozen treats.

(The sad part is that, during the hottest summer I since we’ve lived in this area, I have to still use my oven. My kitchen remodel starts in about 8 weeks…so all my no-bake treats will be made in the fall. Oops!)

Last week my mom gave me a huge bag of lemons. By now you all know of my intense love of all lemon desserts, so getting a free bag of huge lemons is pretty much a rainbow sparkle day for me. I wanted to make lemon allthethings, but I had to narrow it down to just a few. The fact it was 109° outside helped me narrow it down even further: popsicles!

(To be truthful, I originally thought ICE CREAM, but I’ve already done that. Blog a few years and you tend to forget what you’ve made!)

And, because I love lemon pie (evidenced by recipes for tarts, bars, and a milkshake in my archives), turning pie into popsicles seemed like the thing to do.

These popsicles are made using nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt. I added some fresh lemon juice and sugar but I really wanted to pump up the lemon flavor, so I added some McCormick Pure Lemon Extract. I love the taste it gives to any recipe; it reminds me of the Lemonades Girl Scout Cookies.
