Coconut Mung Bean Kaffir Lime Popsicles for MLLA Anniversary!

Mung Beans
I've long been a fan of my friend Susan and her gorgeous blog, The Well-Seasoned Cook, especially her elegant photography and her blog event, My Legume Love Affair (MLLA), which has done a great deal to popularize nutritious and delicious beans/legumes. MLLA recently had its 3rd anniversary, and I was honored to accept Susan's invitation to help celebrate this momentous occasion as well as help kick-start what's sure to be a fabulous 4th year! Inspired by Chinese mung bean popsicles as well as our Southeast Asian neighbors, I'm sharing these flavorful Coconut Mung Bean and Kaffir Lime Popsicles over on Susan's site. I'd love if you'd stop on by to check out my full guest post. But if you're in a hurry and just wanna grab the printable recipe, you'll find it right here.

  12. Mung beans in a popsicle? Wow... Sounds really interesting! I guess if you can eat red bean in ice cream, this makes perfect sense :) Can't wait to check out your guest post! :)

  14. Nice one, Xiaolu. We grew up eating coconut mung bean ice cream in Malaysia. So refreshing and fun. You addition of kaffir lime was a perfect touch. I can tell you that this flavour will be a hit in Southeast Asia:)

  15. Recipe downloaded - now I just have to wait till the weather warms up to give this a go! While I usually don't baulk at ice cream in winter, it's perhaps just a touch too cold to do this right now :)
