Raspberry Peach Yogurt Popsicles
This raspberry and peach yogurt popsicle recipe is perfect for summer! A healthy and delicious way to beat the heat - you can even have them for breakfast!
Ingredients
- 5 cups peeled chopped or frozen peaches approximately 6-7 peaches
- 1/2 cup maple syrup, divided
- 2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
- 1 cup Greek vanilla yogurt
- 2-3 tbsp juice (orange juice, lemon juice or other juice of choice) optional
Instructions
-
Using a food processor or blender, puree peaches with 3 tbsp. maple syrup. if you're puree is quite thick (especially if you're using frozen fruit), add 1 - 1 1/2 tbsp. of juice to decrease the thickness as well as reduce the iciness once it's frozen. Transfer to bowl and set aside.
-
Clean the food processor, and puree raspberries with 3 tbsp. maple syrup. If you don't like the seeds, you can strain the puree through a fine sieve placed over a bowl.
-
In another bowl, combine the yogurt with 2 tbsp maple syrup.
-
Layer the peach puree, raspberry puree and yogurt mixture into the mold in any pattern that you would like using approximately double the peach puree as the raspberry. Tap the mold on the counter a few times to ensure there are no bubbles between layers. Leave 1/4 inch of space at the top of the mold to allow for expansion.
-
Dip the tip of a small, sharp knife into the molds, sliding against the sides several times and swirl through the middle of the mold. Again, tap the mold on the the counter a few times to remove any bubbles. Top up the mold if needed if you find your mixture sinks down.
-
Freeze until firm - approximately 4-5 hours depending on your mold. When ready to serve, run warm water over the mold for 10-15 seconds to release the pop.
How to choose the best popsicle molds
There are many different molds that you can use to make your popsicles – from the more traditional style, to a variety of fun shapes and designs. When choosing your mold, think about what type of popsicles you’ll be making and how the size of the molds will best fit in your freezer. Some molds need to be laid flat while others stand upright. I love these stainless steel popsicle molds. They’re really easy to unmold and super durable and dishwasher safe. These silicone molds are another option especially if you like to make bigger batches of popsicles or you can even find collapsible molds. If you’re in Canada, the ones that I used were a super affordable plastic option from Superstore.
Popsicle Tips
- To remove the popsicles from the molds, run the molds under warm water for 10-15 seconds. Carefully remove each popsicle. If it still doesn’t come out easily, place them under the warm water for a few more seconds.
- You can adjust the amount of sweetener to your desired taste but remember that the puree will lose some of the flavor/sweetness when it’s frozen. It should ideally have a fairly strong fruit flavor and be more on the sweet side before freezing.
- Feel free to play around with different fruit flavors and combos! I like this combination of raspberry and peach as the raspberries provide a little tartness compared to the sweet peach flavor, but there are so many different combinations that you can try. You can also switch up the juice to infuse a new taste.
- The popsicles can be made ahead and kept frozen for up to one month.
I hope you have a wonderful summer and take some time to relax and enjoy a pop! 😉
