Raspberries — The star ingredient of this recipe, fresh raspberries bring a fresh fruity flavor and a slight crunch to the popsicles. Blueberries — Fresh juicy blueberries are not very sweet but add a subtly sweet flavor and some crunch to the popsicles. Blackberries — Fresh, succulent blackberries add a sweet-tart flavor to the popsicles. A delicious add-on to the popsicles! Add to the molds and freeze — Whisk the yogurt until smooth. Now spoon the flavored yogurt along with a few whole berries into the popsicle molds. Leave a little space at the top for them to expand. Tap the popsicle mold on the counter as it will release any trapped air and push the mixture down. Now insert popsicle sticks, close the lid, and freeze the Raspberry Yogurt Popsicles until set or firm (preferable overnight). Serve — To serve, run the popsicle mold under lukewarm water for a few seconds to loosen up the popsicles. Now, carefully wiggle the mold stick to let the raspberry yogurt popsicle slide out effortlessly!
Use fresh or frozen berries — You can use frozen berries instead of fresh ones if they’re not in season. Frozen berries make the creamiest and best-flavored popsicles. Flavored yogurt makes the best popsicles — I have used the raspberry-flavored Greek yogurt, but feel free to use any flavor of your choice. Recommended — Use the full-fat Greek yogurt for the creamiest and rich textured pops. Low-fat yogurt also works well but produces icy-textured raspberry yogurt popsicles that are more on the tart side. Add the chocolatey-fun — You can turn these into chocolate popsicles by adding cocoa powder to chocolate-flavored yogurt. Then blend, pour into molds and freeze to create the super-fun chocolatey treat! Surprise the kids with different shapes — Freeze the raspberry yogurt popsicles in different shape molds like animal shape molds, penguin molds, or round or ring-shaped molds and let the kids go frenzy! A delicious variation — If you are not a yogurt lover, don’t get disappointed. There are more surprises for you! Make these popsicles with cream cheese and powdered sugar and create the delicious Berry Cheesecake popsicles.
For the dairy-free/ vegan pops — Substitute the yogurt for full-fat canned coconut milk or almond milk for the creamy and most delicious raspberry popsicles. For the best-tasting popsicles — Use fresh and perfectly ripe fruits for the best-tasting popsicles. These render natural sweetness to the pops; therefore, you don’t need to add any sweetener. Healthy and fruity variations — Go creative using the fruits of your choice. You can skip a berry type or sub it with any other fruit you like – strawberries, mangoes, oranges, dragon fruit, or grapes, keeping the preparation method the same. Match them with plain or flavored yogurt to make stunning combos and enjoy the irresistible summer delights! For the tart-flavored berries — You may have tarty berries that need to be balanced with additional sweetness. Add honey or agave syrup for the best flavoring and sweetness. So, if you are ready with the fruits and the delicious yogurt, let us begin with the recipe.
