HOW TO MAKE YOGURT POPSICLES
These homemade yogurt popsicles can be made with a swirl design and flavor or with the yogurt and fruit all mixed together. They’ll be beautiful and delicious either way!
WITH A POPSICLE MOLD
This is my first year with a popsicle mold and I love it. I like the size and shape of the popsicles it makes. It also makes making popsicles super easy.
WITHOUT A POPSICLE MOLD
You can also make these without a popsicle mold! Just pour the mixture into dixie cups, cover them with aluminum foil and stick the sticks in.
SIMPLE INGREDIENTS
Follow the recipe exactly or make your own variation according to your taste preference or what you have in the fridge or freezer!
Yogurt: I used regular vanilla. Flavored Greek yogurt is a great option too. Greek yogurt popsicles are delicious and super creamy! Whatever type you use, I would recommend using full fat and flavored yogurt since we are not adding a ton of other ingredients.
Fruit: I used frozen raspberries. I thawed them slightly then tossed them in the blender for just a couple of pulses. If you’re using fresh, you can get away with just giving them a couple of rough chops or simply stirring them into the yogurt is fine.
Fruit Yogurt Popsicles

- 2 ¼ cups vanilla yogurt regular or Greek yogurt
- 2-3 tablespoons honey maple syrup, or granulated sugar, to taste
Instructions
- In a medium sized bowl, add the yogurt. Add the raspberries (either whole or slightly pureed). For a marbled look, give them just a few stirs or stir completely if you like.
- Taste and add honey or maple syrup if desired.
