I have been all about the yogurt pops this summer. Currently in the freezer are some peach rosemary pops. I also made strawberry balsamic mascarpone yogurt pops. I think banana peanut butter popsicles might be coming up next. I love it! It’s a perfect dessert, and doesn’t make you feel too terrible because it’s mostly fruit and yogurt. It’s dessert that’s good for you!
To nitpick – Popsicle isn’t copyrighted but rather trademarked (you usually can’t get copyright protection words, although you can trademark them) but you could probably still use it here as it’s not commercial.
…I wonder, could one just add the whole kit ‘n’ kaboodle into the mix and just freeze it for a chunky sorta popsicle vs. straining and all that? You know, in case one was into that sorta thing… :o)
We have been living on Molly (Orangette)’s raspberry-yogurt pops, which I hand to my kids like lunch (two? sure!). They are fiendishly good, and battle the heat. But where oh where did you get that mold? Dish!
must be the year of the popsicle:) i have been making green smoothie versions with spinach, bananas, peaches and agave nectar for sweetener…a good way to sneak some veggies and whole fruit into toddlers!! these blackberry yogurt ones look luscious!! and are now on the farmers market shopping list! thanks-
Just got this same mold and after a thumbs down to my “I-just-opened-the-box-and-now-I-want-instant-pops” orange juice + vanilla yogurt concoction, I”m desperate for real ideas – this is #1, then some of the ones mentioned above – we could seriously start a whole other blog for these this summer – Midwest = mug-gy.
Thanks for sharing this tasty inspirational recipe. I’m trying desperately to put calcium and fresh fruit in my picky preteen’s stomach. We’ve been secretly dicing and mincing tons of fruits and veggies in all kinds of stuff, but the lil sucker is so clever…Question:
I don’t own a food processor. I do have a blender and a cheap manual dicer/chopper. I imagine the juice would make quite a deep red mess. Can I cheat with fruit juice and just add some diced berries to humor myself? Has anyone tried that? Or can I get away with using my dicer? I’ve always wanted a pink one anyway lol.
Hey Kare,
I would just use the blender. It will work just as well as the food processor. You could try juice, but it won’t be as good or as healthy. I hope it works!
Ok, my sticks are the only thing that comes out of the mold after freezing. And I’ve tried dipping the mold in hot water for a few seconds first…what am I doing wrong???
Hey Rachel,
My guess is that either they were not frozen enough, or you didn’t leave in hot water long enough. As long as they were frozen solid, you should try leaving them in hot water for 15-30 seconds. keep trying until they release.
I made these yesterday, but I didn’t strain them and I think I either put too much honey or not enough lemon juice in them because they were really sweet.
We cried when we ate the last two pops. I couldn’t believe the price of blackberries. I paid $16 for them in FL but I made 1 1/2 x the recipe. I got 6 huge popsicles and had a pint left. I made a quart of (barely) sweet cream ice cream and poured 2 oz of the blackberry “syrup” between the layers as I packed it into containers. We had a few small scoops for dessert tonight. OMG!!
Thank u so much for sharing ur awesome recipe. Followed it blueberries as i didn’t have blackberries…. The result was too good…my daughter and husband loved those icecream. … I am super satisfied …. thanks again…. keep sharing ☺☺

How do you get your ice pops to come out of the mold without breaking what’s inside? This is the most difficult part of the process for me.
Tim says:
June 6th, 2012 at 8:43 am
Hi Celeste! I run some hot water over the bottom part of the molds. Or dip them in a bowl of warm water. They slide out easily then….

These look great, but if I don’t like yogurt, can I use vanilla ice cream or heavy cream instead?

2/3’s cup sugar and thats a healthy desert?
