Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh strawberries (hulled)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for red layer)
- 1 cup Full-fat Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 cup Fresh blueberries
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for blue layer)
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
1. Begin by preparing the red layer: In a blender or food processor, combine the fresh strawberries and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Blend until smooth. Pour the mixture evenly into popsicle molds, filling each mold about 1/3 of the way. Place the molds in the freezer for 1 hour, or until the red layer begins to firm up.
2. For the white layer: In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt and honey until smooth and well combined. Once the red layer is firm, spoon the yogurt mixture over the red layer in the popsicle molds, filling each mold another 1/3 of the way. Tap the molds gently on the counter to remove air bubbles. Return the molds to the freezer for another hour, or until the white layer is firm.
3. For the blue layer: In a blender or food processor, combine fresh blueberries, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons of water. Blend until smooth. Pour the blueberry mixture over the firm white layer in the popsicle molds, leaving a little room at the top to accommodate the sticks.
4. Insert popsicle sticks into the molds, ensuring they stand upright. Freeze the popsicles for at least 4 hours, or until fully solid.
5. To remove the popsicles from the molds, run the molds under warm water for a few seconds. Gently pull the popsicles out and serve immediately or store them in the freezer for later enjoyment.
