Mudslide-Poptail_Endless-Simmer-1

With Labor Day- the unofficial end of summer just a day away its usually the time to spark up the grill or hit the beach once last time. This year Mother Nature has decided to keep the summer heat around a little while longer, so why not end our extended summer with a fun poptail. The Mudslide Poptail  is a fun twist on a traditional mudslide.

Mudslide Poptail

18 oz. vanilla yogurt
1 banana, medium size (2oz)
3 oz. vodka
3 oz. Kahlua
3 oz. Bailey’s Irish Cream
3 tablespoons grated chocolate

Instructions:

1. Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor and process until smooth, about 1-2minutes.

2. Freeze for about 1 hour or until mixture starts to solidify enough to hold a popsicle stick upright. Insert popsicle sticks and finish freezing popsicles overnight. To release popsicles run hot water on the outside of popsicle molds for a 5-7 seconds.

Get your mixing hands ready for this mudslide with a twist. We went and added a banana in the mix. The sweetness of the banana neutralizes any tang the vanilla yogurt body may have, and adds a bit of creaminess to the mixture. While we were at it, we also threw in some grated chocolate for added flavor and texture.
