Strawberry Banana Buttermilk Ice Pop Recipe
Cool off this summer with this sweet and tangy Strawberry Banana Buttermilk Ice Pop Recipe.
I have seen ice cream and ice pop recipes that were made with a buttermilk base and wondered how they tasted. I use buttermilk a lot in my baking. I also make an awesome buttermilk ranch dressing. I usually keep a quart of buttermilk in the refrigerator.
I love using buttermilk because it gives that tangy flavor to whatever it is added to. I also love eating and making yogurt for the same reason. And there was a short period where I was culturing milk kefir and drinking it each day. Kefir was a bit too much for me and after I let a batch go a bit too long I got turned off and never cultured another batch. I'll stick to the tamer cultured dairy products like yogurt and buttermilk, thank you!
Strawberry Banana Buttermilk Ice Pop Recipe
So one day a few weeks ago I decided it was time to throw together a batch of buttermilk ice pops with whatever fruit I had on hand so I could try it out from myself. A quick check and we had bananas and strawberries in the house. That sounded like a good combo for my buttermilk ice pop experiment. But I didn't want the banana flavor to over take the buttermilk flavor so I only added half a banana. I had no doubts that I would like the flavor. And I wasn't disappointed. I added just a little bit of sugar to add a hint of sweetness.

Have you ever tasted a buttermilk based ice cream or ice pop recipe? If you did what did you think of it? Next batch I am making lemon buttermilk ice pops. I'm thinking the tart flavor of lemon will go perfect with the tanginess of buttermilk.
