STRAWBERRY MOJITO POPSICLES

Popsicles are always a good idea, right? Especially these beautiful and delicious Strawberry Mojito Popsicles. I made mine with addition of rum, so they have a real "mojito" taste, but if you want to made them non-alcoholic, the rum can be easily omitted.

Strawberry Mojito Popsicles | recipe by @toetjeaddicted

INGREDIENTS:

For 8 popsicles:
250g strawberries
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
2 tbsp rum, optional
3 tbsp honey or maple syrup
350g Greek yogurt
1/2 lime (zest & juice)

Special equipment:
Popsicle mold like this.

DIRECTIONS:
1. In a blender combine strawberries, mint, 1tbsp honey and 1tbsp rum (if using), blend until the mixture becomes smooth. Set aside.
2. Mix yogurt,  zest and juice of lime, 2tbsp honey and 1tbsp rum (if using). Taste. If you want it sweeter, add a little bit more honey.
3. Spoon alternate layers of yogurt and strawberry mojito mixtures into each mold until they are filled. Insert popsicle sticks to the molds and freeze until solid, about 4-6 hours or overnight.
4. To un-mold the popsicles, hold the mold in a warm water (don't let the water go over the top edge) for about 10-15 seconds.

Enjoy,
yours @toetjeaddicted

CHOCOLATE DIPPED ALMOND BUTTER COOKIES WITH FLEUR DE SEL & CACAO NIBS

I wrote already once that I'm a bad blogger as I don't post a lot...  Unfortunately I don't have enough time for my blog (especially recently, as I started studying at the university), but I really would like to post regularly!
May be you can advice me something? If you are not a full time blogger, how do you manage it? Any secrets?:-) Oh well... Hope I will find a balance and will be able to share new recipes with you really soon! Stay tuned...
These cookies I baked and shot in January... And it's April already... Time flies! Anyways, it's never too late to share a recipe of delicious cookies, right?! And these cookies are really good, trust me!
The chocolate glaze with fleur de sel & cacao nibs make them fancier, these are not simple cookies anymore... You can bake them for a friend as a present, or just keep them only for yourself and enjoy every bite! Your choice:-)
