Description
A sunny, simple treat using juice and fresh fruit to create customizable popsicles that everyone loves.
Ingredients
- 2 cups fruit juice (orange, berry, apple, or any favorite)
- 1 cup diced fresh fruit (strawberries, blueberries, mango, kiwi, etc.)
- 1 tablespoon sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or granulated sugar) – optional
- 1 cup plain or flavored yogurt – optional for creaminess
Instructions
- Combine base liquids: In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of fruit juice and 1 tablespoon of sweetener if using.
- Add the fruit: Fold in 1 cup diced fresh fruit until evenly distributed.
- Add creaminess (optional): Gently fold in 1 cup of yogurt until just blended.
- Fill molds: Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace.
- Insert sticks and freeze: Place lids or sticks and freeze for at least 4–6 hours or until solid.
- Unmold and enjoy: Run warm water over the outside of the mold for a few seconds to release popsicles.
Notes
For sugar-free popsicles, skip the sweetener and use naturally sweet juice or very ripe fruit. Thaw frozen fruit slightly and drain excess liquid before use. For creaminess without yogurt, use coconut milk.
