Recipe preparation

Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

  • Fresh Strawberries: Choose ripe strawberries for maximum sweetness; frozen work too if you’re in a pinch.

  • Greek Yogurt: Opt for plain Greek yogurt to balance the sweetness of the strawberries wonderfully.

  • Honey or Maple Syrup: Use honey for a floral sweetness or maple syrup for a deeper flavor.

  • Lemon Juice: A squeeze adds brightness and enhances the strawberry flavor beautifully.

  • Vanilla Extract: A splash of this fragrant extract elevates the overall taste profile of your pops.

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it together

Prep Your Strawberries: Start by washing your fresh strawberries under cool water. Remove the green tops and slice them into smaller pieces for easy blending.

Blend it Up: In a blender, combine sliced strawberries, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy, but don’t forget to keep some chunks of strawberry for texture!

Taste Test Time: Give your mixture a quick taste test—add more honey or lemon juice if desired. This is your chance to adjust flavors to perfection before freezing!

Pour & Fill Molds: Carefully pour your strawberry yogurt mixture into popsicle molds. If you want to be fancy, layer some whole strawberry pieces at the bottom before pouring in the mixture.

Freeze Until Solid: Place popsicle molds in the freezer for at least 4-6 hours or until fully frozen. Patience is key here—try not to eat all the leftover mixture while waiting!

Enjoy Your Creation!: Once frozen solid, remove your Strawberry Yogurt Pops from their molds by running warm water over the outside briefly. Enjoy them on a sunny day or whenever you need a cool treat!

These Strawberry Yogurt Pops aren’t just tasty; they’re also a fun way to involve family in cooking while creating lasting memories together!
