Ingredients
Cream Base
- 1/2 cup cold heavy cream (or up to 1 cup, 120–240 ml; the more you add, the creamier your popsicle will be)
- 2 cups whole milk Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1/3 cup honey (or to taste)
Mix-ins
- 3 cups fruit of your choice (e.g., berries, mango, kiwi, or mixed fruit)
- Optional: other additions such as chocolate chips, mochi, chopped Oreos, etc.
Instructions
- Whip the Cream: In a mixing bowl, whisk the cold heavy cream until it’s no longer liquid and you can see lines in the cream, but stop just before it reaches soft peaks. This gives the popsicles a creamy texture without adding too much air.
- Combine Yogurt, Honey, and Fruit: Gently fold the Greek yogurt and honey into the whipped cream. Once combined, add in your chosen fruit and any optional mix-ins, folding until evenly distributed.
- Prepare Popsicle Molds: Ensure your popsicle molds are completely dry to prevent ice crystals from forming. Use a thin cloth and a chopstick to dry inside the molds if necessary.
- Fill the Molds: Carefully pour or spoon the yogurt mixture into each popsicle mold, filling all the way up. Use a chopstick or extra popsicle stick to tamp down the mixture and eliminate any air pockets. Gently tap the molds on the counter to pop excess air bubbles.
- Freeze: Insert popsicle sticks into the center of each popsicle. Transfer the filled molds to the freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until completely solid.
- Unmold and Serve: To remove the popsicles from their molds, let them stand at room temperature for 5 minutes or run under cool water. Gently loosen and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- This recipe yields about 16-18 popsicles, depending on mold size.
- The recipe is highly versatile—experiment with different fruits or fun additions like chocolate chips or chopped cookies.
- Do not rush unmolding; melting may occur if you force the popsicles out too quickly.
- For best texture, use full-fat yogurt and avoid over-whipping the cream.
