Utensils and tools
Ingredients
- 2 dozen fresh strawberries, washed
- ½ cup of sugar
- 2 tablespoon of lime or lemon juice
- Seeds from 1 vanilla pod or 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
- 1 pint [2.5 cups, 0.6 liter] of natural, unsweetened Greek yogurt
Preparation
Before starting, please make sure you have all the ingredients and utensils ready.
Step 1: Mix
Remove the stems from the strawberries. dice.
Place in a large bowl. Mix in the lemon juice, and sugar. Let it rest for 10 minutes on the counter.
Step 2: Mash
Using a fork or potato masher, mash the strawberries to make a strawberry puree. Add the seeds from the vanilla pod or the extract.
Mix the strawberry jam with the yogurt making a swirl (if you use flavored yogurt), or just mixing them completely.
Step 3: Freeze
Pour the yogurt and strawberry mixture into molds with a spoon, shake a bit for the bubbles to rise and for the mixture to settle.
Take to the freezer and leave until they freeze hard.
Step 4: Serving
To remove from the mold, dip the mold for a few seconds in warm water and pull the popsicle out.
Variations
I used plain yogurt for this recipe, but you can try with a fruit-flavored yogurt to make a combination. Some good ones are peaches, blueberries, raspberries, banana, or any kind of berry. In that case, halve the amount of sugar used, because there will be some already in the yogurt.
If you don't care for the texture and have bits of fruit in the popsicles, you can blend it in the food processor instead of mashing them to make them.
To make sugar-free popsicles, you can use your preferred sweetener. Some options are agave, maple syrup, or even honey. Be mindful that will alter the flavor of the popsicles.
If you have an ice cream maker, you can make this into ice cream instead of popsicles. In that case, make some extra strawberry puree to top the ice cream scoops.
If you are making them for toddlers, I would skip the sugar and sweeteners entirely. The strawberries should make it plenty sweet for little kids.
Top tips
- Fresh fruit at the peak ripeness are nature's candies, and I used season strawberries in this recipe. The sweetness of your pops will depend on the sweetness of the fruit you use, and you may need to adjust it to your taste.
- I love reusable popsicle molds , and I have many sizes and shapes. But if you don't have them, just freeze them in glasses or cups that are slopped outward.
- You can cut bamboo skewers or chopsticks in half instead of popsicle sticks.
