Fruity Edible Flower Rosé Popsicles
These Fruity Edible Flower Rosé Popsicles are a new way to sip your Rosé – with fruit and edible flowers to boot!
Have you ever cooked with edible flowers? I guess I wouldn’t exactly call this recipe “cooked” but it certainly features lots of edible flowers – don’t be shy, eat them! Many edible flowers are actually pretty mild. Aside from the idea just being a little weird, it really isn’t bad.
Lavender and rose are my favorites, and people cook with them quite often. They really lend a nice, subtle floral flavor to sweets and baked goods (just make sure you pair it with fruit and aren’t too heavy handed).
Southern Living did an article on edible flowers a while back – I’m sure you’ll recognize quite a few of those flavors. Today’s recipe uses pansies and fuchsias, but I think hibiscus and rose would also be delicious.
Serve these at your next adult spring/summer function and they’re sure to be a hit. A more kid friendly version can be made with white grape juice and some fruit – super easy!
This is the popsicle mold I used. Alcohol takes a bit longer to freeze, so be sure to make these far enough ahead you have at least 24 hours to freeze. Also, these turned out a bit icy because my wine was a tad dry. I would use a sweeter Rosé or dessert wine for these pops.
Pro-tip: to make removing the pops a bit easier, focus on getting the sticks as straight as possible when freezing. When it comes time to take them out, a quick trip under a hot faucet makes for a super smooth removal.
