Ingredients
- 2 cups Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace by gathering all ingredients and popsicle molds. Ensure all tools are clean and ready.

- Gently wash fresh raspberries and pat them dry with a clean paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- Lightly mash half of the raspberries to create a puree, leaving some whole berries for texture and visual appeal.
- Layer the yogurt mixture and raspberries into the popsicle molds, alternating between white yogurt and red raspberry layers to create a marbled effect.
- Use a small spoon or skewer to gently swirl the layers, creating a beautiful marbled pattern.
- Insert popsicle sticks into each mold, ensuring they are centered and standing upright.
- Place the filled molds in the freezer and allow to freeze completely, approximately 4-6 hours or overnight.
- To remove popsicles, run the molds briefly under warm water to help release them easily.

Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your Greek yogurt is at room temperature for smoother mixing and easier layering.
- Raspberry Technique: When mashing raspberries, leave some whole for texture and visual interest. This creates a more dynamic eating experience.
- Swirling Secrets: Use a thin skewer or toothpick for the most elegant marbling effect. Less is more when creating those beautiful layers!
- Freezing Hack: If you're having trouble removing popsicles, let them sit at room temperature for 1-2 minutes before gently twisting the mold.
- Make-Ahead Magic: These popsicles can be stored in the freezer for up to a week in a sealed container or freezer bag.
- Variation Tip: Experiment with different honey varieties or add a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs between layers for extra cheesecake authenticity.
- Dairy-Free Option: Substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt for a vegan-friendly version.
