Popsicles for breakfast? When you're using ripe fruit and yogurt, why not? The classic flavor combination of apricots, cardamom, and yogurt are sweetened naturally with honey and make for a lovely way to start your day.
Note: My popsicle molds are very small, so I got about 7 pops out of this recipe. If you have bigger molds, you will get 4 or 5. If you don't own any reusable popsicle molds, pour the mixture into small paper cups and freeze for an hour or two until firm but not completely frozen, then insert a wooden popsicle stick into the center of each and finish freezing.
