Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or flavored)
- 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 cup Mixed fresh fruit (e.g., berries, mango, kiwi, banana), diced
- 1 cup Granola (for texture, optional)
- 0.5 cup Fruit preserves or jam (for the surprise center)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and honey or maple syrup (if using) and mix well to evenly sweeten the yogurt.
Prepare a popsicle mold and spoon a small layer of the yogurt mixture into the bottom of each mold, about 1/3 full.
Add a teaspoon of fruit preserves or jam into the center of each mold, creating the 'surprise' layer.
Add a small handful of diced fruit and granola into each mold for texture and freshness.
Fill the molds with the remaining yogurt mixture, leaving a small space at the top to prevent overflow.
Insert popsicle sticks into the molds and gently tap the molds on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
Place the popsicle molds in the freezer for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely frozen.
To release the yogurt pops, run the molds under warm water for a few seconds before pulling them out.
Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful surprise center!
