Key Lime Ice Pops

Myrecipes
Updated

This frozen treat offers all you love about Key lime pie in a neat handheld package. Ripe avocados are the key to making these pops rich and indulgent, and they make the texture creamy and smooth instead of icy. The avocados also plump up the dessert with heart-healthy unsaturated fats, which keep you satisfied. Try to keep the graham cracker crumbs coarse so that the pops have more texture; fine crumbs might end up soggy.

Serves 7 (serving size: 1 ice pop)

Ingredients

3/4 cup water
2/3 cup granulated sugar
4 large lime peel strips
1 1/2 cups chopped ripe avocado (from 2 large avocados)
1/2 cup plain 2% reduced-fat Greek yogurt
1/2 cup bottled Key lime juice
2 teaspoons lime zest (from 1 lime)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup coarse graham cracker crumbs
