ALL ROOT BEER POPSICLES®
Because of the extra sugar these do not freeze up rock solid. Their taste and texture is like the store-bought. You can get the same results with cream soda and it's delish. Teenager approved, by the way.

CREAMY COCONUT POPSICLES
Cream of coconut, not to be confused with coconut milk or coconut cream, is a thick syrupy confection made by blending coconut and sugar and is most often used in piña coladas. Mixed with cream, coconut milk and shredded coconut, it gives these pops that classic tropical flair. One note: Coconut milk and cream of coconut naturally separate, so be sure to stir well before measuring.

BLUEBERRY CREAM POPSICLES
These naturally purple pops are made with a combination of simmered blueberries puréed into an easy no-churn ice cream base. You can substitute yogurt or crème fraîche for the sour cream; either will give the popsicles a subtle tang. You can use fresh or frozen berries. (Frozen berries can be thawed and used as directed in the method below. Or use them straight from the freezer, but add 2 to 4 minutes to the cook time.) The number of pops this recipe makes depends on the size and shape of the molds used. The base can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours if you need to freeze in batches; just give the mixture a stir before using.

Steps:
- In a medium pot, toss the blueberries, lemon juice, sugar and salt to combine. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries burst and the mixture becomes juicy, 4 to 5 minutes. (Add 2 to 4 minutes of cook time if you're using frozen, unthawed berries.
- Transfer to the bowl of a food processor or blender and cool for 10 minutes. Purée the mixture until relatively smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the sweetened condensed milk and blend until combined, 20 to 30 seconds. Scrape the bowl well.
- Add the heavy cream and process until the mixture is well combined and thickens slightly, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add the sour cream and vanilla and blend until fully incorporated, 30 seconds to 1 minute. If necessary, transfer the mixture to a large container with a spout, such as a 4-cup/1-liter liquid measuring cup. Divide the mixture between the popsicle molds, filling each just under the rim of the cavity of the mold. Gently press a popsicle stick into the center of each cavity and freeze until firm, at least 8 hours.
- To unmold, gently run warm water over the base of the molds. They should easily release. Keep frozen until ready to serve.

Steps:
- Cut the racks of lamb into the'popsicles' by slicing the chops in between the bones.
- Mix the white wine, mustard and salt together in a large bowl, then add the popsicles, turning to coat them on all sides.
- Cover and set aside in the refrigerator for a couple of hours.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the whipping cream, salt, paprika, cayenne, fenugreek flakes and lemon juice.
- In a medium-sized, heavy pot, sauté the crushed garlic in the canola oil.
- Once the garlic is golden in colour, add the turmeric, stir and heat for one minute.
- Add the whipping cream mixture, stir and heat on low to medium heat for a few minutes.
- (the water in the whipping cream will evaporate, thickening the sauce. If your heat is too high, the cream will separate.) If making the sauce a day ahead, let the garlic mixture cool completely, then add to the cream mixture and refrigerate.
- Thicken the sauce close to serving time by heating gently.
- Grill the popsicles just before you are ready to serve your meal.
- You can either pour the cream curry over the grilled popsicles or use it as a dipping curry for them.

Tips on Making Delectable Popsicles
- Choose ripe and flavorful fruits: Fresh, in-season fruits yield the most vibrant and delicious popsicles. Opt for fruits that are ripe and at their peak flavor.
- Experiment with different fruit combinations: Don't limit yourself to classic flavors like strawberry or orange. Try mixing and matching different fruits to create unique and exciting popsicle flavors.
- Add herbs, spices, and extracts: For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding herbs, spices, or extracts to your popsicles. Mint, basil, cinnamon, and vanilla are all great options.
- Use high-quality yogurt and milk: If you're making yogurt or milk-based popsicles, use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor and texture. Look for organic, full-fat yogurt and milk.
- Sweeten to taste: The amount of sweetener you add to your popsicles is a matter of personal preference. Start with a small amount and adjust to taste.
- Use popsicle molds or cups: You can use traditional popsicle molds or simply repurpose small cups or containers. Just make sure they're freezer-safe.
- Freeze popsicles for at least 4 hours: Allow your popsicles to freeze for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best texture.
