Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 pops
Ingredients
- 2 cups Greek yogurt
- 1 cup raspberries
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Wash the fresh raspberries thoroughly under cool running water and pat them dry with paper towels.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Gently fold in half of the raspberries, lightly crushing them to create swirls of color and flavor throughout the yogurt mixture.
- Prepare a popsicle mold by lightly greasing it with a neutral cooking spray or wiping with a thin layer of oil to prevent sticking.
- Spoon the yogurt mixture into the popsicle molds, filling them about 3/4 of the way full.
- Drop the remaining whole raspberries into each mold, distributing them evenly throughout the yogurt.
- Insert popsicle sticks into the center of each mold, ensuring they are straight and secure.
- Place the filled popsicle mold in the freezer and allow to freeze completely, which typically takes about 4-6 hours or overnight.
- To remove pops, briefly run the mold under warm water to loosen the popsicles, then gently twist and pull each pop out.
- Serve immediately or wrap individually in plastic wrap and store in the freezer for up to one week.
Tips
- Choose full-fat Greek yogurt for a creamier, richer texture that prevents ice crystals from forming.
- For an extra smooth mixture, use a whisk to blend ingredients thoroughly and eliminate any yogurt lumps.
- When adding raspberries, gently crush some to create beautiful swirls of color and distribute flavor evenly.
- Lightly grease your popsicle molds to ensure easy removal without damaging the pops.
- For a more intense raspberry flavor, you can puree some raspberries and mix them directly into the yogurt base.
- If you don't have popsicle molds, small paper cups with wooden sticks work just as well.
- Allow enough freezing time (4-6 hours) to ensure a solid, scoopable texture.
- Run molds under warm water for just a few seconds to help release popsicles smoothly.
