Mizmun Makes: Soy Pops MK-1

First before I talk about this post I feel the need to apologize for last week's post not going live. I thought that it would given that I scheduled it for 12 pm CST. I had written the post earlier in the week and later on reviewed it to make sure that it made at least some sense during which I saved the post as a draft so that it would be easy to access. Anyway I forgot to publish the post from its draft form so it did not post even though it says that it was posted at that time. Again apologies.

Now on to this weeks post and additional news. This week I have been rather busy with various things including working and being social with people. So I wanted to do something that was quick this week. Also, at least in the upper Midwestern states, there is a cold front coming this week. I thought that this is basically the last chance for me to do a post about something cold and feel that it is somewhat fitting to the season. finally I had just gotten the molds the previous week so I wanted to try those out to see how well they worked [you know if they would break or not {they did not}]. This week I decided to do Soy Pops. The idea behind this was to have a cream pop like treat that was healthier than eating ice cream. With the recipe that I made I will provide suggestions for changing the recipe.

New kitchen stuff!

Soy Pops MK-1

The purpose of this is to have a homemade healthy sweet treat that is similar to a cream ice pop.

Ingredients(makes 6 servings):

1 cup soy milk

1/2 tsp coco powder

2 tsp brown sugar (for a molasses flavor alternatively you could substitute buckwheat honey or molasses instead)

1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

blend ingredients in a bowl or shake in a jar/bottle [I shook them in a bottle because it looks better for the blog. If you are using either buckwheat honey or molasses instead of brown sugar I would recommend blending it]

pour into molds

place in freezer and wait until a hard freeze has occurred (I just waited a day before having mine)

Suggestions:

add peanut butter and blend the ingredients

For a coffee flavor add up to a 1/2 cup of coffee to the ingredients

if you like things that are sweeter add more sugar
