Ingredients
Instructions
- Pour the yogurt into a mixing bowl.
- Add the frozen juice concentrate to the yogurt and stir until well combined.
- Divide the mixture evenly into ten 3-ounce cold drink cups.
- Insert a wooden stick into each cup.
- Freeze the cups until the yogurt pops are solid, about 4 hours or overnight.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, use full-fat yogurt. You can substitute the frozen juice concentrate with fresh fruit purees or other flavored yogurts for different variations. If you want to make them sweeter, consider adding a tablespoon of honey or agave syrup. These Yippee Yogurt Pops can be custom flavored to match your preferences, just like you can with Fantastic Bars or other American recipes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these yogurt pops on a hot day as a refreshing snack or dessert. They pair wonderfully with a side of fresh fruit or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an indulgent treat. For a fun twist, try incorporating them into smoothies or serving them alongside a slice of Ted'S Fruit Cake for a delightful dessert spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store the yogurt pops in an airtight container in the freezer. They can last up to two months, but for optimal texture, consume them within a month. To enjoy, simply remove from the freezer and let sit for a few minutes before attempting to pull them out of the cups. This will make them easier to remove without breaking.
