Print Recipe

A simple and festive layered popsicle recipe featuring sweet strawberries, creamy Greek yogurt, and tangy blueberries, perfect for patriotic summer celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced (or frozen if out of season)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries (thawed if frozen)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Popsicle molds with sticks (silicone molds recommended)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the red strawberry layer: In a blender, combine strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth, about 30 seconds. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed. Pour about one-third of the mixture into each popsicle mold. Tap molds gently to remove air bubbles. Freeze for 30-40 minutes until firm but not rock solid.
  2. Mix the white yogurt layer: In a bowl, stir together Greek yogurt and honey (if using) until thick but spreadable. Spoon the yogurt over the frozen red layer carefully to avoid mixing colors, filling up to two-thirds of the mold. Tap gently again. Freeze for another 30-40 minutes.
  3. Prepare the blue blueberry layer: Blend blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice until smooth. Pour over the frozen white layer, filling the mold to the top. Insert popsicle sticks immediately. Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
  4. Unmold carefully: Run warm water briefly over the outside of the molds for a few seconds. Gently pull on the sticks to remove the popsicles. Silicone molds make this step easier.
  5. Serve and enjoy: Best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to two weeks.

Notes

Freeze each layer for 30-40 minutes to prevent colors from mixing. Use ripe, juicy berries for best flavor. For dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond milk yogurt. Run warm water over molds to ease unmolding.
