Ingredients
Fruits and Dairy
- 1 cup strawberries, washed, dried, and hulls removed
- 1/2 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
- 2 oz. light cream cheese
- 1/2 cup milk (regular or almond milk)
Flavorings
- 1 Tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (if using plain Greek yogurt)
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: Combine the strawberries, Greek yogurt, light cream cheese, milk, honey, and vanilla extract (if using plain yogurt) in a blender. Puree the mixture until it becomes completely smooth, ensuring an even texture in the popsicles.
- Pour into Molds: Carefully pour the blended mixture into popsicle molds or alternatively into four to six paper or plastic cups to create individual portions.
- Insert Sticks: Place popsicle sticks into the center of each mold or cup to prepare them for freezing.
- Freeze Until Firm: Transfer the molds or cups to the freezer. Allow them to freeze for 4 to 6 hours, or until completely firm and ready to enjoy.
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt and cream cheese with plant-based alternatives.
- If you use vanilla Greek yogurt, you can omit the vanilla extract for simplicity.
- To avoid icy texture, make sure the mixture is well blended and smooth before freezing.
- Allow popsicles to sit at room temperature for a couple of minutes before removing from molds for easier handling.
- Honey can be adjusted or replaced with maple syrup to suit your sweetness preference.
