Red White & Blue Popsicles
A refreshing and patriotic dessert made with layers of strawberry, creamy yogurt, and blueberry, perfect for summer celebrations.
Ingredients
Fruit Layers
- 2 cups strawberries, pureed Use fresh or high-quality frozen strawberries for best results.
- 2 cups blueberries, pureed Ripe blueberries provide depth and flavor.
Yogurt Layer
- 2 cups coconut yogurt or vanilla yogurt Choose a thicker yogurt to avoid a runny texture.
Optional Ingredients
- honey or sugar to taste Sweeten as needed depending on the tartness of the fruit.
- water (if needed for blending) Add water sparingly to achieve desired consistency.
Instructions
Make the Strawberry Layer
- Wash and hull the strawberries and add them to the blender. Puree until completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Taste and sweeten with honey or sugar if necessary. Pour into the bottom third of popsicle molds and freeze until firm, about 1-2 hours.
Prepare the Yogurt Layer
- Spoon yogurt into the blender, adding water only if needed for a pourable consistency. Blend until smooth, and sweeten if using plain yogurt.
- Pour over the frozen strawberry layer, filling molds two-thirds full. Freeze until set, another 1-2 hours.
Finish with the Blueberry Layer
- Puree the blueberries until smooth, adding water if necessary to blend. Adjust sweetness if needed.
- Pour blueberry puree over the yogurt layer, filling to the top. Smooth and freeze until fully solid, about 4-6 hours, or overnight.
Unmold the Popsicles
- Run warm water over the outside of the molds for 15-30 seconds to loosen. Carefully pull out the popsicles and serve immediately, or store wrapped in parchment or plastic.
Notes
Freeze the first layer until firm before adding the yogurt layer for best results. Use silicone molds for easier unmolding.
