Easy Strawberry Vanilla Yogurt Popsicle Recipe
Let’s get to the fun part—making these delicious popsicles! Here’s a simple recipe you can whip up in no time.
Ingredients:
• 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped (332 gr)
• 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup)
• 1 cup vanilla yogurt (Greek yogurt works great, too!) (250 gr)
• ½ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy) (120 gr)
• Optional: a splash of lemon juice for extra zing!
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Strawberries: In a blender, combine the chopped strawberries and honey (or maple syrup). Blend until smooth but still slightly chunky. You can leave some small strawberry pieces for texture.
2. Mix the Yogurt: In a separate bowl, whisk together the vanilla yogurt and milk. If you’re using lemon juice, add it now. This gives your popsicles a refreshing twist!
3. Layering the Popsicles: Take your popsicle molds and start with a layer of the strawberry mixture—about a third of the way full. Then add a layer of the yogurt mixture. Repeat until the molds are filled, leaving a little space at the top for expansion.
4. Insert Sticks: Place the popsicle sticks in the center of each mold. If your sticks keep falling over, let the popsicles freeze for about an hour before inserting them.
5. Freeze: Pop the molds into the freezer for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely frozen. Patience is key here!
6. Enjoy: When you’re ready to enjoy your popsicles, run the molds under warm water for a few seconds to loosen them up. Then, gently pull them out and savor that deliciousness!
And there you have it—your very own strawberry vanilla yogurt popsicles! They’re perfect for parties, or just when you need a sweet pick-me-up. You can even get creative and swap out strawberries for other fruits like blueberries or peaches. The possibilities are endless!
So grab your ingredients, and let’s make life a little sweeter, one popsicle at a time. Enjoy, Lykkers!
