Ingredients
Scale
Yogurt Mixture
- 1 1/2 cups plain yogurt
- 1 tablespoon honey
Strawberry Puree
- 1 pound frozen strawberries
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Mix the Yogurt: Stir the plain yogurt with one tablespoon of honey until smooth and free of lumps to create a creamy base for the popsicles.
- Prepare the Strawberry Puree: In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the frozen strawberries, water, lime juice, and two tablespoons of honey, blending until fully smooth and combined.
- Layer the Popsicles: Alternately spoon layers of the yogurt mixture and strawberry puree into 10 popsicle molds, tapping the molds gently on the counter 5 to 10 times to create a beautiful swirled effect. Insert the popsicle sticks.
- Freeze: Place the filled molds in the freezer and let them freeze solid for at least three hours.
- Release from molds: If the popsicles do not come out easily, run the molds briefly under lukewarm water to loosen them before removing.
- Serve or Store: Serve immediately or store the popsicles in the freezer for up to 3 months for a convenient frozen treat anytime.
Notes
- Use full-fat yogurt for creamier popsicles or Greek yogurt for added protein.
- Adjust honey to taste or substitute with maple syrup for a vegan option.
- If you don’t have popsicle molds, use small paper cups and wooden sticks as an alternative.
- Frozen strawberries can be replaced with fresh ones, but freeze them first for better texture.
- Run molds under lukewarm water briefly to help release popsicles without melting them.
