Cuisine: American
Serves: 10 popsicles
Ingredients
- 2 cups Greek yogurt
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and the honey is fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, place the fresh blueberries. Using a fork or a potato masher, gently mash the blueberries to release some of their juices. You want to break them down slightly but still leave some whole for texture.
- Take a popsicle mold and begin by spooning a layer of the yogurt mixture into each cavity, filling them about one-third full.
- Next, add a spoonful of the mashed blueberries on top of the yogurt layer. Use a skewer or a toothpick to swirl the blueberries into the yogurt, creating a marbled effect. Be careful not to mix them too much; you want distinct layers of yogurt and blueberry.
- Repeat the process by adding another layer of the yogurt mixture, followed by more blueberry mash, and swirl again. Continue this until the molds are filled to the top, leaving a little space at the top for expansion.
- Once all the molds are filled, insert popsicle sticks into the center of each mold. Make sure they are positioned upright and stable.
- Place the popsicle mold in the freezer and allow it to freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely solid.
- To remove the popsicles, run warm water over the outside of the mold for a few seconds to loosen them. Gently pull on the sticks to release the popsicles.
- Enjoy your homemade blueberry swirl yogurt popsicles as a refreshing treat!
Tips
- • Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a creamier, smoother texture • Ensure your blueberries are ripe and sweet for the best natural flavor • Don't overmix when swirling - gentle turns create the most beautiful marble effect • For easier removal, run popsicle molds under warm water for a few seconds • Experiment with different honey varieties like lavender or orange blossom for unique flavor profiles • If you don't have popsicle molds, use small paper cups and wooden sticks as an alternative • For extra indulgence, drizzle melted dark chocolate over the popsicles after unmolding
