Ingredients
1 cup Royal® Basmati Rice
1 cup Greek yogurt
1 ripe mango, peeled, pitted, and cut into cubes
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons sugar
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1/4 cup finely chopped pistachios
Preparation
- In a large saucepan combine rice and 2 cups water.
- Bring to a boil over high heat, cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until rice is tender, about 15 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and let sit for 10 minutes.
- Uncover, fluff rice with a fork, and spread out on a baking sheet to cool completely.
- In a blender combine yogurt, mango, lime juice, and sugar and blend until smooth. Stir yogurt mixture into rice in a large bowl.
- Divide the mixture between popsicle molds, place the top on the molds, and insert popsicle sticks. Freeze until solid, at least 6 hours.
- In a small saucepan, melt chocolate with coconut oil over low heat, stirring frequently.
- Dip popsicle mold in warm water until popsicles slide out easily. Place it on a baking sheet and return it to the freezer for 15 minutes.
- Drizzle chocolate over the top 1/3 of popsicles and sprinkle with pistachios. Place back in freezer until chocolate is firm, about 5 minutes.
