Popsicle Ingredients
Gather fresh ingredients for this simple dessert. Exact amounts are in the recipe card below.
- Fresh strawberries
- Fresh blueberries
- Water
- Honey
- Plain whole-milk yogurt
- Fresh lemon juice (or bottled lemon juice)
Special Tools Needed
Reusable popsicle molds with wooden sticks make filling and freezing easier. A blender and a medium saucepan are also helpful for preparing the fruit purees.
How to Make Berry Popsicles
- Place diced strawberries, 1/4 cup water and 2 tablespoons honey in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from heat, let cool slightly, and blend until smooth. Transfer the strawberry puree to a bowl; it should look pink.
- Rinse the pan and blender. Add blueberries, 1/4 cup water and 2 tablespoons honey to the pan. Bring to a boil, then simmer 2 minutes. Remove from heat, cool slightly and puree. Transfer the blueberry puree to a second bowl; it should look purple.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the yogurt, 1/4 cup honey and lemon juice until smooth. Stir about 1/2 cup of the yogurt mixture into the strawberry puree and another 1/2 cup into the blueberry puree so each is slightly creamy.
- Layer the purees in your popsicle molds: one third strawberry puree, one third yogurt mixture, then top with blueberry puree. For variety you can reverse or alternate the order.
- Freeze the molds for 1 hour, then insert popsicle sticks. Return to the freezer and freeze for at least 6–8 hours or overnight.
- To remove popsicles, run the mold briefly under warm water to loosen them, then gently pull the popsicles free.
