Fruit Yogurt Popsicles

Fruit + yogurt + popsicle molds.....need I say more?  Lay back in the hammock, listen to the birds in the trees and move the clouds with your mind......mmmmmmmmm










Fruit Yogurt Popsicles
makes 6 popsicles, depending on mold size

2 cups diced fruit of choice (I actually had a mixed bowl already diced up in the fridge of strawberries, raspberries, mango and orange segments)
1/8 cup honey
2 Tbs water
1 tsp lemon juice
1 cup plain yogurt

  • using a potato masher or fork, mash the fruit to a fairly fine pulp - if the fruit is quite firm you can always microwave it for about 30-45 seconds to soften.
  • in a bowl (or I found a measuring jug easier for pouring into the molds), combine the honey, water, lemon juice and yogurt and mix well.
  • place a fine mesh sieve over the yogurt mixture and press through the fruit puree to remove any seeds or pulp.
  • at this stage you can either mix the fruit sauce and yogurt together just a little bit to get a 'swirl' effect or mix completely to have a more even colour.
  • pour the mixture into your popsicle molds, pop on their 'lids' and find a space in your freezer for them.

 Fruit Yogurt Popsicle ingredients.

mash the fruit to a fairly fine consistency.

in a measuring jug (or bowl) combine the honey, water, lemon juice and yogurt.

mash the fruit puree through a fine mesh sieve into the yogurt mixture.

either mix very lightly to try and keep a 'swirl' effect or....

....mix completely (as I did) for a more even colouring.

pour into your popsicle molds.

pop on the 'tops'

and try to find room in your freezer for them - amongst the frozen peas, corn, prawns and garlic sausage :o)
Now the hard part.....wait long enough for them to set completely.
