A vibrant and creamy layered popsicle recipe featuring fresh strawberries, Greek yogurt, and blueberries, perfect for summer celebrations and nostalgic treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped (or frozen, thawed)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to sweetness)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (optional, for sweetness)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen and thawed)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Water or coconut water (optional, to thin fruit layers if needed)
  • Popsicle molds with sticks

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Red Layer: In a blender, combine 1 cup strawberries, 2 tablespoons honey, and 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Blend until smooth but still slightly textured. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed. Pour about 1/3 cup of this mixture into each popsicle mold, filling just enough for the red layer. Freeze for about 30-40 minutes until firm but not rock solid.
  2. Make the White Yogurt Layer: While the red layer chills, mix 1 cup Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons honey, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a bowl. Stir until smooth and creamy. Once the red layer is set, spoon approximately 1/4 cup of this yogurt mixture over it in each mold. Use the back of a spoon to smooth the layer gently. Freeze again for 30 minutes.
  3. Prepare the Blue Layer: Blend 1 cup blueberries, 2 tablespoons honey, and 1 teaspoon lemon juice until smooth. If too thick, add a splash of water or coconut water for easier pouring. Pour about 1/3 cup of this blueberry mixture on top of the yogurt layer. Insert popsicle sticks now—make sure they stand upright through the layers.
  4. Final Freeze: Freeze the assembled popsicles for at least 4 hours or overnight until completely solid. This ensures the layers hold their shape and the popsicles are perfectly chilled.
  5. Unmold and Serve: To release, run warm water briefly over the outside of the molds (be careful not to soak the popsicles). Gently pull on the sticks and enjoy!

Notes

Do not rush freezing between layers to prevent color bleeding. Use full-fat Greek yogurt for creamiest texture. Soak wooden sticks in water for 10 minutes before inserting to prevent cracking. Frozen berries can be used if thawed and drained. For dairy-free, swap Greek yogurt with coconut or almond milk yogurt.
