Notes
Coconut Milk: It is essential to use full-fat coconut milk in this banana popsicle recipe. The fat content makes the popsicles creamy and prevents them from getting icy or crystallised. So the popsicles made of low-fat coconut milk may not be as creamy and tasty as that of full fat ones.
Spices: Use crushed or powdered cardamom pods as the hard outer layer of cardamom may not taste pleasant for toddlers. The fibrous cardamom layer sometimes gets stuck in the teeth and little ones might not like it.
Water: Either run the popsicle mould under running warm water for a minute or dip the mould in a container filled with water. This helps to take the popsicles out of the mould easily.
Use ripe bananas to get a sweet taste and texture.
