My morning began with rumblings of \u201cIt\u2019s been a whole week; you\u2019ve not restocked the popsicle stash!\u201d <\/em>Oh, the horrors of it. So, I had to redeem myself and rectify the oversight pronto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given the unbearable heat and humidity we\u2019ve been facing, I was happy to indulge the kids. But I did decide to take a brief hiatus from all things peach<\/a> and dive into Jamun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Jamuns<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Nutrient-wise, Jamun is predominantly water and carbohydrates with nil sugar and enough minerals to make a great snack. The fruit also packs a punch of astringent properties that are excellent for the skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Better known by the moniker black plums or java plums to the rest of the world, the deep black, shiny fruit makes a short but really delicious appearance during the months of summer in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those who haven\u2019t discovered the rapturous world of the fruit that looks remarkably like berries (think bigger cousin), here\u2019s a tiny sneak peek of its flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the season begins, jamuns are a touch tart and have an astringent aftertaste. But as the first rains hit the parched earth, they get sweeter. This is the time when I start obtaining hordes of them, and when the market is all out, cajole someone into plucking them from the neighborhood parks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Right now, it is the quintessential time to have jamuns, which is why I replenished the dwindling pop stash with Jamun Yogurt Popsicles. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How To Make Jamun Yogurt Popsicles?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Anytime I make something easy, and these jamun yogurt popsicles are as easy as it gets, the kids are included in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, I ferried my son to the kitchen and got him to pit and chop the jamuns, while I whizzed honey and Greek yogurt. I split the mixture, with one half going into the molds and the other blended with the fruit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once I had a smooth jamun-yogurt-honey mixture, it went into the half-filled molds. A little swirl and within 5 minutes the pops were packed up in the freezer to be enjoyed later in the afternoon (though you really should freeze them overnight).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Didn\u2019t I mention they were that <\/em>easy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Variations Of Jamun Yogurt Popsicles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Substitute for Greek yogurt<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Hung, homemade yogurt is a great replacement for Greek yogurt, or you can even try coconut yogurt. I used it for my peach shortcake<\/a>, and it\u2019s surprisingly very thick and utterly creamy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make the pops creamier<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We often indulge in popsicles as breakfast, but if you want them as desserts, I recommend switching the yogurt to full cream. The pops turn richer and creamier than you can imagine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a vegan option, try coconut cream or a mix of half coconut milk and half coconut cream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Substitute for honey<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re not in the mood for honey, maple syrup or even agave works just as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serving the Jamun Yogurt Popsicles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Creamy, sweet-tart, and refreshing, these fabulous popsicles are meant for snacking and<\/em> dessert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because jamun is a low-calorie fruit packed with antioxidants and a moderate amount of Vitamin C and calcium, we had the popsicles for our breakfast too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The same family who swore up and down that they were \u2018not a Jamun fan\u2019 slurped the pops up in no time! Phenomenal, I believe, is the word all of them used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
