Ingredients
Strawberries: Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor. I used fresh, but you can use frozen too. You can also use different fruits if you like. Peaches and all kinds of berries create delicious treats! Sugar: I like to add a bit of sugar to the strawberries to bring out their sweetness and depending on how sweet or sour your yogurt is you can skip or add the sugar. You can also swap the sugar for honey. Yogurt: I used full fat plain yogurt, vanilla flavor can be used, in which case skip the extract. Greek or low fat yogurt will also work. Milk: I added a little milk for a thinner consistency, but this is optional. Salt: A little salt helps to bring out the natural sweetness of the strawberries. Cardamom or Vanilla Extract: For added flavor and optional.
Step by Step Instructions
1 & 2 - For making strawberry puree, add the chopped strawberries to a bowl and to it add the the sugar and mix. Allow it to sit for 15-20 mins then puree until smooth. 3 & 4 - In a separate bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the yogurt mix. 5 & 6 - Add the yogurt and strawberry in increments to each mold. 7 - Take a knife or the back of a spoon and insert into the mold, make swirls or up-down motion to give some pattern to the mixture. 8 - Once you have filled all the molds, cover and insert the stick. These homemade popsicles will need about 6 to 8 hours to freeze solidly. I like to make a batch in the evening and freeze them overnight so that they are easy to enjoy the next day. That’s it, these gorgeous looking and healthy Strawberry Yogurt Popsicles are ready. Serve them as dessert, treat or snack. Enjoy!!
How to remove the popsicles from the molds
Depending on the type of mold you are using, they made need a little coaxing to remove. Run the popsicles under warm water for a few seconds and they will easily release.
Recipe Notes and Tips
Design Variations: You can follow the method listed above or simply mix the strawberry and yogurt puree together and fill the molds. You can do more strawberry and less yogurt and make patterns. Or you can make alternate layers of yogurt and strawberry mixture without the swirls. All these ways look and taste great. Depending on the sweetness of the strawberries and yogurt you can adjust the amount of sugar or keep it all natural and skip the sugar. I’ve used full fat yogurt but greek yogurt, low-fat yogurt will work too. I have used milk to adjust the yogurt consistency but that can be skipped or replaced with water. Don’t fill the molds all the way to the top as they will expand as they freeze. You can make these Popsicles using any fruit of choice. I’ve used popsicle mold but you can also use paper cups and cover them with aluminium foil.
