Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups vanilla yogurt
  • 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 2 cups whole strawberries greens removed
  • 2 cups blueberries I used the bigger package from the store (Net Wt 11oz)

Instructions

  • First make your fruit purees. Add the fresh, clean blueberries to a food processor and blend until smooth. You can use frozen berries if fresh ones aren't in season, just allow them to thaw first.
  • Put the blueberry puree into a medium size bowl and set aside.

  • Put the strawberry puree into a medium size bowl and set aside.
  • Now you will make the vanilla base, this will actually act as a base for all 3 flavors. In a medium size mixing bowl whisk together the vanilla yogurt, whipping cream, and sugar until sugar has dissolved.

  • Add approximately 1 cup of the vanilla yogurt/cream mixture to the strawberry puree and mix well.
  • Add approximately 1 cup of the vanilla yogurt/cream mixture to the blueberry puree and mix well.
  • Leave the remaining vanilla yogurt/cream mixture for the "white" section of your popsicles.

  • Now you will start to assemble your popsicles.
  • Fill up your popsicle molds about 1/3 of the way with the strawberry flavor and freeze for 30 mins (just to help it set a bit). *My mold came with a nice little funnel to make it easier to add the liquid in. I used a tabelspoon to pour the liquid into the funnel so that I could control how much was poured in since I was only filling in 1/3 of the way.

  • While you are waiting for each layer to freeze, put the other mixtures in the refrigerator until ready for use.
  • Repeat this process with the vanilla and blueberry flavors.

  • To remove the popsicles from the molds, you may need to run it under warm water for a few seconds. Gently pull on the popsicle stick.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

This recipe made 14 3.5 oz popsicles. My mold is for 10 3.5 oz popsicles, but we had another mold here, so I used that too. How many popsicles you can make will depend on the size of the molds you have. I, personally, like making a bunch, that way everyone can enjoy one at our holiday gatherings.
