Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 cups plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or non-fat)
- 1 cup fresh or frozen fruit (berries, mango, peaches, etc.)
- ½ cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- ¼ cup milk or yogurt (if needed, to thin the mixture)
- Pinch of salt
Optional Toppings
- Granola
- Chocolate chips
- Shredded coconut
- Chopped nuts
Instructions
- Prepare the Fruit: Wash and chop fresh fruit into small pieces. If using frozen fruit, use directly from frozen. Puree half of the fruit for a smoother texture (optional). Combine all prepared fruit in a bowl.
- Make the Yogurt Mixture: In a large bowl, combine Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract if using. Mix until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste the mixture and add more honey or maple syrup as needed to reach your desired sweetness level.
- Thin the Mixture (if needed): If the yogurt mixture is too thick for pouring, add milk or additional yogurt one tablespoon at a time until the mixture is pourable.
- Add Salt: Add a pinch of salt to the yogurt mixture to enhance the flavors and sweetness.
- Combine Fruit and Yogurt: Gently fold the prepared fruit into the yogurt mixture until the fruit is evenly distributed without breaking the pieces.
- Fill Popsicle Molds: Pour the combined yogurt and fruit mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a small amount of space at the top for expansion.
- Add Toppings (optional): Sprinkle toppings such as granola, chocolate chips, shredded coconut, or chopped nuts onto the filled molds for texture and flavor.
- Insert Popsicle Sticks: Place popsicle sticks into the center of each filled mold to serve as handles once frozen.
- Freeze: Place the molds in the freezer and allow them to freeze for at least 4-6 hours, preferably overnight, until completely solid.
- Remove from Molds: To remove, run the popsicle molds under warm water for a few seconds to loosen the frozen pops. Gently pull on the sticks to release the popsicles.
- Enjoy: Serve the frozen yogurt pops immediately or store them in the freezer for later enjoyment.
Notes
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for creamier texture or non-fat for lower calories.
- Pureeing half the fruit helps achieve a smoother consistency, but leaving chunks adds texture.
- Adjust sweetness based on the natural sweetness of your fruit and personal preference.
- Optional toppings add flavor and texture—feel free to customize.
- Make sure to leave some space in the molds to allow for expansion as the mixture freezes.
- Storing the popsicles in an airtight container prevents freezer burn and maintains freshness.
