Per Popsicle
Serves 5
Ingredients
- 1 cup Plain Whole Milk Greek Yogurt
- 1 cup Mixed Berries (such as Strawberries, Blueberries, and Raspberries. Fresh or frozen are acceptable.)
- 1/4 cup Honey
Directions
Blend the Ingredients
- Combine the plain whole milk Greek yogurt, mixed berries, and honey in a food processor or a high speed blender.
- Process the mixture until it achieves a completely smooth consistency.
- Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness by incorporating a small amount of additional honey if desired. The mixture may be quite thick; if so, simply use a spoon for pouring.
Assemble and Freeze
- Transfer the smooth mixture into your chosen popsicle molds.
- Secure the lids or sticks onto the molds.
- Freeze the popsicles overnight, or until they have fully solidified (a minimum of six to eight hours is recommended).
Unmold and Serve
- To easily release the popsicles from the mold, allow them to stand at room temperature for five minutes. Alternatively, briefly run the bottom of the mold under warm water.
- Wiggle the stick gently to remove the popsicle. Serve immediately.
Pro-Tips
- Ingredient Quality and Texture: Opting for full-fat Greek yogurt is a superior choice here. The higher fat content and lower water content compared to low-fat varieties drastically reduce the formation of ice crystals, resulting in a creamier, more pleasant frozen texture, a small but critical detail for enjoying this treat.
- Prep for Rapid Consumption: If the mixture is too viscous to pour into the molds, switch to a spoon to easily transfer the mixture. Remember to fill the mold completely to prevent air pockets.
- Storage for Longevity: These popsicles are best consumed within one week. Once frozen solid, demold them and store them in an airtight container or freezer bag, utilizing small pieces of parchment paper to separate them and prevent sticking. This preserves their quality and organization.
- Adjusting for Flavor Complexity: For a deeper color and slightly sweeter flavor profile, consider stewing the berries with the honey briefly on the stovetop and allowing the mixture to cool entirely before blending it with the yogurt.
