Serves: 6 pops
Ingredients
- 1 cup raspberries
- 1/2 cup lemonade
- 1/2 cup yogurt
- 2 tablespoons honey (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of fresh raspberries, 1/2 cup of lemonade, 1/2 cup of yogurt (plain or flavored), and 2 tablespoons of honey (if desired for added sweetness).
- Rinse the raspberries under cold water to remove any dirt or impurities. Gently pat them dry with a paper towel.
- In a blender, combine the raspberries, lemonade, yogurt, and honey. If you prefer a less sweet popsicle, you can reduce or omit the honey.
- Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and well combined. You may stop to scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
- Once blended, taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if necessary, adding more honey if desired.
- Pour the raspberry lemonade mixture into popsicle molds, filling each mold about three-quarters full to allow for expansion as they freeze.
- If you have any leftover raspberries, you can add a few whole ones into each mold for added texture and visual appeal.
- Insert the popsicle sticks into the molds, ensuring they are centered and upright.
- Carefully place the filled molds in the freezer and allow them to freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely solid.
- Once frozen, remove the popsicles from the molds. If they are difficult to release, run the molds under warm water for a few seconds to help loosen them.
- Serve the creamy raspberry lemonade popsicles immediately, or store them in an airtight container in the freezer for later enjoyment.
Tips
- Choose Fresh Ingredients: Use ripe, in-season raspberries for the most vibrant flavor and color.
- Blending Technique: Blend ingredients thoroughly to create a smooth, consistent mixture that freezes evenly.
- Sweetness Control: Adjust honey to taste – start with less and add more if needed, as the natural sweetness of raspberries can vary.
- Texture Trick: Add whole raspberries to the molds for a delightful burst of texture and visual appeal.
- Easy Release Hack: If popsicles stick to the mold, briefly run the mold under warm water to help release them easily.
- Storage Tip: Store extra popsicles in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn and maintain their fresh flavor.
- Variation Idea: Experiment with different yogurt flavors or substitute honey with maple syrup for a unique twist!
