Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 2 cups plain Greek yogurt Full fat for extra creaminess, or low fat for a lighter popsicle
- 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup Sweetener; adjust to taste
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract Rounds out the flavors
- 1 cup mixed berries, roughly chopped Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries for burst of color and freshness
- 1 small ripe banana, mashed Natural thickener and creamy sweetness (optional)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice Brightens the yogurt and preserves color
- 1 pinch salt Enhances the flavors
Instructions
Preparation
- In a medium bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla, lemon juice, and salt until silky and smooth.
- Fold in the mashed banana if using, then gently stir in half of the chopped berries.
- Spoon a little of the yogurt mixture into each popsicle mold, then add a few pieces of whole berries.
- Fill the molds the rest of the way, smoothing the tops; insert sticks and cover. Tap the molds on the counter to release air bubbles.
- Freeze for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Serving
- To unmold, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds and gently pull the popsicles free.
Notes
Store popsicles in an airtight container or a zip-top bag in the freezer for up to 1 month. Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the creamiest texture, and chill molds briefly before filling.
