Print Recipe

These easy-to-make popsicles combine fresh or frozen berries with creamy sweetened yogurt for a colorful, refreshing summer treat that’s perfect for all ages.

Ingredients

  • Fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced (or frozen)
  • Fresh blueberries
  • Plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • Honey or maple syrup (1-2 tablespoons, adjust to taste)
  • Fresh lemon juice (about 1 tablespoon)
  • Water or coconut water (to thin yogurt, about 1 tablespoon)
  • Vanilla extract (optional, a splash)

Instructions

  1. Rinse strawberries and blueberries well. Slice strawberries thinly for layering. For a smoother texture, pulse half the berries in a blender with lemon juice until chunky but pourable.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt with honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract (if using), and water or coconut water. Stir until smooth but thick enough to hold shape.
  3. Layer the popsicles by spooning strawberry puree or whole strawberries at the bottom of each mold, followed by a layer of sweetened yogurt, then blueberry puree or whole blueberries. Repeat layers until molds are filled, leaving a small gap at the top.
  4. Insert popsicle sticks in the center of each mold. If sticks don’t stand upright, freeze the first layer for about 30 minutes before adding sticks and continuing layering.
  5. Freeze the molds for at least 6 hours or overnight, avoiding frequent freezer openings.
  6. To unmold, run warm water on the outside of the molds for 10-15 seconds and gently pull the popsicles out.

Notes

To avoid icy popsicles, thin the yogurt with water or coconut water. Chill each layer for 10-15 minutes before adding the next to keep distinct layers. Use warm water to release popsicles from molds. For dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt with unsweetened coconut or almond yogurt.
