Cantaloupe and Cream Lime Ice Pops

Sometimes a summer produce sale is the next best thing to heaven.  While I was out grocery shopping last week I found my store had cantaloupe for 50 cents each, so of course all of a sudden I desperately needed cantaloupe.

After taking them home, my picky toddler took a stand against trying the cantaloupe.  So, sometimes you pick your battles and sometimes you formulate a better battle plan.  I opted for the latter.  Ice pops it is.  I have mentioned before that ice pops are our 'no fail' fall back when Munchkin won't eat anything else.  Those are usually packed them with yogurt.  However, yogurt is not a great companion for cantaloupe in an ice pop.  So, I needed something thick rich and creamy.  Heavy cream won out!

I mixed in heavy cream and some honey to sweeten it up.  Then added lime to compliment to cantaloupe flavor.  This ice pop is every cantaloupe lovers dream come true.  A rich and creamy pop loaded with that cantaloupe flavor with hints of lime to wake it up!

Enjoy!

Packed with vitamin c, antioxidants  and power boosting protein, this Raspberry Lemonade Yogurt Ice Pop is the perfect summer treat!
