The Secret to Extra-Delicious Popsicles
Here’s the game-changer that takes this popsicle recipe from good to incredible: adding fresh chopped strawberry slices directly into the molds. This simple trick creates pockets of chewy, fruity texture throughout your popsicle, making each lick more satisfying and fun. Kids especially love discovering these little berry treasures!
The frozen mixed berries bring a beautiful ruby-red color naturally, while the strawberry yogurt adds creaminess and a protein boost. If you’re using plain yogurt, simply add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup to taste. The vanilla extract (or white chocolate flavoring if you’re feeling fancy) rounds out the flavors beautifully.
Making Your Berry Popsicles
To make this delicious popsicle recipe, start by adding your frozen mixed berries, strawberry yogurt, and vanilla extract to a blender. Pulse until completely smooth—this should only take about 30 seconds. The mixture will be thick and vibrant pink, almost like a smoothie.
Pour the blended mixture into your silicone popsicle molds, filling them about halfway. Drop in a few chopped strawberry slices, then continue filling to the top. This layering technique ensures the fruit chunks are distributed throughout. Insert your popsicle sticks and freeze for at least 3-5 hours, or until completely solid.
When you’re ready to enjoy, run the molds under warm water for just a few seconds to help release the popsicles easily. The result? Creamy, dreamy, berry-packed frozen treats that taste like summer in every bite.
Storage & Variations
These popsicles keep beautifully in the freezer for up to 2 months—just pop them out of the molds once frozen and store in a freezer-safe bag. Try swapping the berries for mango or peaches, or use different yogurt flavors like vanilla or raspberry. For a dairy-free version, use coconut or almond milk yogurt.
