Strawberry Yogurt Popsicles with Lime
These Strawberry Yogurt Popsicles are fresh, creamy, and oh-so-fruity! With a squeeze of tangy lime, they’re a healthy, yummy summer snack!
Ingredients
- 8 ounces fresh strawberries hulled and halved (about 1 1/2 cups)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1 medium lime juiced (about 2 tablespoons)
Instructions
- MACERATE THE STRAWBERRIES: Place 8 ounces fresh strawberries, hulled and halved, in a large bowl. Drizzle 1 tablespoon honey over the top and stir gently to coat. Let the strawberries sit for 5 to 10 minutes, until they look shiny and a pool of juice collects in the bottom of the bowl.
- BLEND THE STRAWBERRIES: Pour the strawberries and all their juices into a blender. Blend for about 30 seconds, until the puree looks smooth and bright pink with zero visible chunks.
- MIX THE BASE: Pour the strawberry puree back into the bowl. Add 1 cup plain yogurt and 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice from 1 medium lime. Stir for about 1 minute, until the mixture turns an even pale pink with no white streaks.
- FILL THE MOLDS: Pour the mixture evenly into 10 popsicle molds, stopping about 1/4 inch from the top of each one. That little gap gives the popsicles room to expand as they freeze, so the lids stay snug and the tops stay smooth.
- INSERT THE STICKS: Cover the molds with their lids or a layer of aluminum foil. Push a popsicle stick straight down through the center of each one, until it stands upright on its own.
- FREEZE: Freeze the popsicles for at least 4 hours, until the tops feel rock hard when you press them and the molds sound solid when you tap them.
- SERVE: Run warm water over the outside of the molds for about 10 seconds, until you feel the popsicles loosen and slide free with a gentle tug. Serve immediately, while they are frosty and bursting with flavor.
Notes
MAKE-AHEAD: Make these popsicles up to several days ahead and keep them in the freezer until party time.
STORAGE: Once frozen solid, pop each popsicle into a resealable sandwich bag, then tuck the bags into a gallon-size freezer bag. They taste their very best within 2 weeks to 1 month. They stay safe to eat for up to 3 months, though ice crystals will start to dull the flavor and texture after the first month.
INGREDIENT TIP: Greek yogurt works in place of regular plain yogurt and makes a creamier, tangier popsicle. Whole milk yogurt gives the creamiest result.
LEFTOVER LIME: Save the leftover lime half for sparkling water or squeeze it over fruit salad.
