Dango Fruit Popsicles

Dango Fruit Popsicles

Need some refreshment this summer while still maintaining your waistline? These popsicles are made of honeydew melon, watermelon and nashi pear, and are meant to look like the popular skewered rice ball snack in Japan – sanshoku dango. These are so healthy, and are a delicious alternative for sugary popsicles. These barely take any time to make, and can be stored in your freezer for those days when you need a healthy and fresh, but still adorable pick-me up. Serve these upright in glasses at a summer party or barbecue for a colourful and eye catching treat! If you don’t feel like freezing these, you could also just serve them fresh and they would be equally as lovely! If you’d like sour popsicles, squeeze a generous amount of lemon juice over all of the fruit before skewering and freezing them.
