Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the plain yogurt, concentrated fruit juice, and vanilla well.
- Pour the mixture into 3-ounce paper cups with a plastic spoon inserted.
- Freeze until solid.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, use full-fat yogurt instead of low-fat. You can substitute the concentrated fruit juice with fresh pureed fruits or flavored yogurt for a unique twist. Adding a pinch of salt can enhance the flavor. If you want to sweeten the mixture, consider using honey or agave syrup instead of vanilla for a different taste profile.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these yogurt popsicles as a refreshing treat on a hot day. They pair beautifully with fresh fruit or a drizzle of honey. For a fun twist, try serving them alongside a scoop of ice cream or a slice of cake, like Applesauce Cake (Grandma Bissonnette). These popsicles can also be a great addition to a kids' party or summer gathering.
Storage & Reheating
Once frozen, you can store the popsicles in an airtight container or a freezer bag to prevent freezer burn. They can last up to two months in the freezer. To enjoy, simply let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before trying to remove them from the cups, or run them under warm water for a few seconds.
