6 Popsicles

Kulfi and mango lassi-inspired icy, creamy mango pops spiced with cardamom, and with the added crunchiness from the pistachios makes this Mango Cardamom Pistachio Popsicles the perfect sweet treat for a hot summer day!

This Mango Cardamom Pistachio Popsicles is inspired by both kulfi and mango lassi, which both happen to be my absolute favourites! I wanted to make an easy summer dessert that you can prepare quickly and enjoy within the same day. While I was brainstorming for easy, delicious summer desserts, I thought about my own summer favourites, kulfi and mango lassi, and how awesome it would be to have both in one dessert – thus, Mango Cardamom Pistachio Popsicles was born. What is special about this dessert is that its flavours take inspiration from kulfi, and the way it is made is closer to how mango lassi is made. It’s honestly the best of both worlds. Go ahead and give this Mango Cardamom Pistachio Popsicles a try!

Prepare the Pistachios

Using a mortar and pestle, crush the pistachios to your preferred texture. You can also chop them instead. Larger crushed pieces add a delicious crunch to the popsicles, but if you prefer a finer texture, adjust accordingly. Set aside.

Notes

Storage: Keep the popsicles in the freezer and remove them only when they are to be consumed. Due to the presence of dairy products in the lollies, it is best to consume them within a week from the date they were made for safe consumption.
