Print Recipe

These colorful layered popsicles combine fresh strawberries, creamy Greek yogurt, and blueberries for a refreshing and juicy summer treat that’s easy to make at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Puree the strawberries with half the water and half the lemon juice until smooth (about 1-2 minutes). Optionally strain through a fine mesh sieve for a smoother texture.
  2. Puree the blueberries with the remaining water and lemon juice until smooth and slightly runny.
  3. Mix Greek yogurt with honey and vanilla extract until fully combined. Adjust sweetness to taste.
  4. Pour about 2 tablespoons of strawberry puree into each popsicle mold, filling about one-third of the way. Freeze for 30-45 minutes until partially firm but still tacky.
  5. Spoon the sweetened yogurt over the strawberry layer, filling another third of the mold. Tap gently to settle and freeze again for 30-45 minutes.
  6. Top with the blueberry puree, filling to the top. Insert popsicle sticks and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  7. To unmold, run warm water on the outside of the molds for a few seconds and gently remove the popsicles.

Notes

Freeze each layer until partially set to keep layers distinct. Use silicone molds for easy unmolding. For dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt. Add water gradually to thin purees for smooth layering. Run warm water on molds to release popsicles easily.
