The summer heat is here to stay, so why not cool down with an ice cold popsicle filled with dairy goodness? Mascarpone and ricotta cheese blended together with sweet honey, cocoa and raspberries provide a sweet twist on a summertime favorite. These chocolate-raspberry swirled popsicles are filled with bone-building calcium and strength-defining protein that make this sweet indulgence equally wholesome.

Cheesemonger Tip

Try a whole milk ricotta cheese when making these popsicles; the higher fat content and richer, creamier texture is a great choice for freezing.
