Has the summer heat been bringing you down by making you hot and tired? Well then cool down while perking up with a Raspberry Mocha Popsicle! The key here is using extra strong coffee for that pick-me-up we so desire. You can use any coffee you like. This recipe is so quick and easy but there is one hard part…waiting for them to freeze! I am impatient when it comes to tasting new recipes but these popsicles are well worth the wait.
This recipe calls for raspberries, but strawberries and blackberries work really well too. I put the raspberries in a zip-lock bag and smushed them up so I didn’t have to take out the blender…the simpler the better in my opinion!
