How To Make Creamy Margarita Popsicles

“It’s five o’clock somewhere….” I said that too many times these last couple of months. It did get me thinking about a feature to do on Friday and Saturday nights. I’m going to call it “It’s five o’clock somewhere post…” and will feature drinks for adults. These popsicles would be refreshing on a hot day. Just make sure to properly mark these as adult only, if there are children around.

Sugared Lime Rounds for Popsicle Toppings:

Ingredients:

2-3 large limes
Granulated sugar
Water

Instructions:

Slice the Limes:
- Wash the limes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or residue.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the limes into thin rounds, about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. Remove any seeds if present.
Blanch the Lime Rounds:
- In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil.
- Carefully add the lime rounds to the boiling water and blanch them for about 2-3 minutes. This will help soften the peel and remove any bitterness.
Shock the Lime Rounds:
- After blanching, immediately remove the lime rounds from the boiling water and transfer them to a bowl of ice water. This will stop the cooking process and help retain the vibrant green color of the peel.
Prepare the Sugar Coating:
- While the lime rounds are chilling in the ice water, prepare a bowl of granulated sugar.
Coat the Lime Rounds:
- Once the lime rounds have cooled down, remove them from the ice water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
- Dip each lime round into the granulated sugar, ensuring it is evenly coated on both sides.
Dry the Sugared Lime Rounds:
- Place the sugared lime rounds on a wire rack set over a baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart and not touching each other.
- Allow the lime rounds to air dry for several hours or overnight until the sugar coating is dry and hardened.
Use as Popsicle Toppings:
- Once the sugared lime rounds are completely dry, they are ready to use as toppings for your popsicles.
- Before serving, simply place a sugared lime round on top of each popsicle for a beautiful and flavorful decoration.
Enjoy:
- Serve your popsicles with sugared lime round toppings and enjoy the delightful combination of sweet and tangy flavors!

These sugared lime rounds will add a refreshing and vibrant touch to your popsicles, making them perfect for hot summer days or any occasion. Enjoy!

2 large eggs
120ml (½ cup) milk
1 ½ tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Biscoff Buttercream Frosting:

150g (? cup) unsalted butter, softened
200g (1 ½ cups) powdered sugar
150g (about ½ cup) Biscoff spread (smooth)
1–2 tbsp milk (to loosen, if needed)

For Topping:

Mini Biscoff biscuits (one per cupcake)
Crushed biscuits for sprinkling (optional)

Method

Step 1 – Bake the Cupcakes

Preheat oven to 180°C / 350°F. Line a 12-hole cupcake tray with cases.
Beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
Alternate adding dry ingredients and milk into the butter mixture, mixing gently until combined.
Divide batter evenly into cupcake cases.
Bake for 18–20 minutes until golden and springy.
Cool completely before frosting.

Step 2 – Make the Biscoff Buttercream

Beat softened butter until pale and creamy.
Add powdered sugar gradually, mixing until smooth.
Beat in Biscoff spread until fully combined.
If too thick, add 1–2 tbsp milk for a silky, pipeable consistency.

Step 3 – Decorate

Pipe swirls of Biscoff buttercream onto cooled cupcakes.
Top each with a mini Biscoff biscuit.
Sprinkle crushed biscuits for extra crunch.

Tips for Perfect Biscoff Cupcakes

Use room temperature ingredients for a smooth batter.
Don’t overbake – cupcakes should be soft and springy.
Chill the frosting slightly before piping for firmer swirls.
Make ahead – cupcakes can be baked the day before and frosted when ready to serve.
