Here is a refreshing semi-homemade popsicle with black currant concentrate and with a hint of fresh mango and lychee.
Are you ready to slurp and relish a dairy-free dessert?
I am back with another popsicle recipe, and this time it is a semi-homemade popsicle with black currant concentrate/syrup. It is very similar to my kala khatta popsicle and rose syrup popsicles.
All we have to do is dilute the concentrate with water and freeze. I added additional sugar to balance the tangy flavor and also some fresh fruits.
Kala Khatta popsicle became a huge hit, and I thought, why not to try popsicles with other fruit concentrates. My colleague introduced me to this black currant syrup, and I immediately fell in love with it. Ok, I love sweet and tangy flavors. And luckily my family likes it as well. So these popsicles are becoming a regular fare in our household.
When it comes to these semi-homemade popsicles, you can play the combinations and come up with your favorite concoction. I have tried mixing pomegranate concentrate in this popsicle and other fruits as well.
Fruits add a nice texture to the popsicle. I add fruits that are available on my pantry, and this time it is mango and lychee. The refreshing flavors intensify the flavor of this popsicle.
As I mentioned before, I used store-bought syrup for this recipe. The instructions in the syrup asked to mix 1 part of the syrup with four parts of the water. But I mixed it with three parts of water and added sugar. Please adjust the proportion as per your preference and also see the instructions and adjust accordingly.
