Print Recipe

These easy homemade popsicles feature vibrant red, white, and blue layers made from fresh or frozen berries and creamy Greek yogurt, perfect for a refreshing summer treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries, hulled and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Optional: a few fresh mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Prepare the red layer: Place the strawberries, honey, and lemon juice in your blender or food processor. Puree until smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed. Pour this mixture into the popsicle molds, filling each about one-third full. Freeze for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, until firm but not fully solid.
  2. Mix the white layer: In a bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth. Once the red layer is set, spoon the yogurt mixture over it, filling the molds to two-thirds full. Tap the molds gently to remove air bubbles. Freeze again for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  3. Prepare the blue layer: Combine blueberries, honey, lemon juice, and mint leaves (if using) in the blender. Puree until smooth. Strain if you prefer a smoother texture or leave as is for a bit of pulp. Pour this mixture over the yogurt layer to fill the molds. Insert popsicle sticks straight down the center.
  4. Freeze for the final time: Place the molds in the freezer for at least 4 hours or overnight until fully frozen.
  5. To serve: Run warm water briefly over the outside of the molds to loosen the popsicles before gently pulling them out.

Notes

Let each layer partially freeze before adding the next to keep colors distinct. Use frozen berries if fresh are unavailable. For dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt. Adjust sweetness to taste. Run warm water on molds briefly to release popsicles.
