Diamond Matcha Prickly Pear Popsicles
Popsicles are one of the easiest desserts you can make with just a few minutes of prep time! Just mix and blend, freeze, then boom! A beautiful, icy sweet treat in your hand! Homemade popsicles are one of our favorite things to eat because we can control what goes into them and have any flavor we can imagine! These Diamond Matcha Prickly Pear Popsicles are a magnificent blend of the earthiness of matcha, the watermelon and candy sweetness of prickly pear, and the sweet-tart flavor of pineapple. Fruit punch and a matcha smoothie on a stick! It’s fun to experiment and explore what flavor and color combinations go well together, especially if you have a funky, cool mold perfect for any upcoming celebrations.
