Bourbon Peaches and Cream Popsicles
Weight watchers points: 2 per popsicle
Last fall I bought twelve popsicle molds on sale so I'd be ready to go when this summer rolled around. I had the molds, but the only recipe I could remember from my childhood summers involved freezing snapple lemonade...delicious, refreshing, but not exactly gourmet.
But....thanks to pintrest, sometime around January I found
this dressed-up popsicle recipe using some classic southern ingredients (ahem...peaches??? bourbon? yes, please). This weekend ended up being around 85 degrees, so I decided it was
absolutely alright to break out the molds and test them. Since I'm still trying to stay true to my weight watched commitment, I ended up modifying the ingredients a little from the original to make it lower-calorie.. read on for the recipe!
What you need:
1 1/2 cup peaches (fresh is best, but i used frozen peaches without added sugar)
2 oz bourbon
2 packets truvia (or any kind of stevia crystals)
1 1/2 cups greek nonfat yogurt
1 tsp vanilla
thaw the peaches and smush them a little bit, then sprinkle one packet (1 tsp) of stevia on them. pour the bourbon over the peaches and let soak for 20 minutes to an hour.
Mix the second tsp of stevia and the tsp of vanilla into the yogurt.
Drain off the excess bourbon (I didn't do this and ended up with popsicles that would put you over the legal limit). Then, pour both the yogurt and the peach mixture into a blender or food processor, and mix together. Once combined (and the peaches have been chopped into smaller pieces) pour into your popsicle molds and freeze for 2+ hours or until completely hardened. Enjoy! :)
