Lemon Buttermilk Popsicles

I love buttermilk.  I love lemons.  I love really tart, creamy, sweet things.  I also recently received this popsicle maker in the mail and had been trying to decide what to freeze first.  So when I ran across a recipe for these Easy, Creamy, Lemon Dream Popsiclesat Whipped, I knew they would be the first ice pops to come out of my freezer.

Whipped is a food blog written by Caroline in Chicago and I’ve been a fan for a few years now.  She has lots of great recipes featuring buttermilk and even created a page listing them all. That’s my kind of food blog.  You might also want to check out herGreek Favorites page – lots of temptation there!

But let me tell you more about these popsicles.  They are a cinch to make and superdelicious!  You should probably be a fan of lemon if you are going to make these because they pack some serious lemon punch.  The recipe includes lemon juice and lots of lemon zest so a microplane grater will come in handy.

If you think you aren’t a fan of buttermilk, please don’t run from this recipe.  The buttermilk adds a creaminess and tang that complements the lemon perfectly!  Trust me.

If lemon just isn’t your thing or I haven’t convinced you that buttermilk popsicles are the greatest thing ever, you should still go check out Whipped.  Perhaps some classicWhite Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies or a Rhubarb Maple Crisp will tempt you.  I know I’ll be trying the cool, crisp Napa Cabbage Slaw soon – it will be perfect on a hot summer evening.
