Main Ingredients
- 2 cups Greek yogurt (full-fat recommended)
- 1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons fresh citrus juice (lemon or orange)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped fresh fruit (such as berries, mango, pineapple, or kiwi)
- Prepare Your Fruit: Wash and chop fresh fruit into bite-sized pieces. Leave smaller berries whole or halve larger ones to ensure even distribution in the popsicles.
- Mix the Yogurt Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, fresh citrus juice, and vanilla extract. Stir well until smooth and evenly sweetened.
- Layer the Pops: Spoon a small amount of the yogurt mixture into the popsicle molds, then add a few pieces of chopped fruit. Repeat layering until molds are filled, making sure fruit is evenly dispersed for both flavor and appearance.
- Insert Popsicle Sticks: Place sticks carefully into each mold. If your molds lack stick slots, freeze the pops for about an hour first so sticks can stand upright.
- Freeze Until Firm: Place molds in the freezer and let freeze for 4 to 6 hours or overnight for best results.
- Enjoy! To remove, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds and gently pull out your frozen fruit yogurt pops. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for creamier texture.
- Do not overfill with fruit to ensure easy removal from molds.
- Combine sweet and tart fruits for balanced flavor.
- Freeze pops overnight for optimal firmness.
- Silicone molds make removing popsicles easier and cleaner.
