Cucumber Popsicle

The fresh cucumber is a very good source of the vitamin C and the mineral molybdenum. It is also a good source of vitamin A, potassium, manganese, folate, dietary fiber and magnesium.The fruit is commonly harvested while still green, and eaten as a vegetable, whether raw, cooked, or made into pickled cucumbers.Cucumbers are a great digestive aid and have a cleansing effect on the bowel.I have already made fresh juice, milkshake, smoothies out of this versatile fruit, my last but not least trial is cucumber popsicle..quite easy to prepare, a wonderful thristy quencher..prefect when its too hot.. This easy popsicle goes to AFAM:Cucumber guest hosted by Neha of Tasty Recipes, event started by Maheswari...


1no Cucumber
1/4 cup Sugar ( can decrease r increase)
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Lemon juice

Peel the skin of the cucumber, remove the grains n blend it finely in a food processor r mixie with sugar, salt n lemon juice... dont add water at all , if u want to strain the juice u can do, else can leave them with cucumber pulps..pour the cucumber juice in tumblers r in kulfi moulds with popsicle sticks...keep overnite r 5-6 hours in the freezer..

Cucumber Popsicle r ready to relish!!!

nice cucumber treat; reminding of summer already!
and Priya, are you from Pondy too? Même si c'est le cas, cela m' étonnerai pas, puisque la plus part des indiens en france sont de Pondy:)
nice knowing you!

That's definitely an interesting recipe Priya. We usually grind cucumber with green chili and mix it with buttermilk as a thirst quencher for summer. But this is totally amazing.
