Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries, hulled and pureed
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, full-fat (for red layer)
  • 12 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust for sweetness, red layer)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (optional, red layer)
  • 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt, full-fat (for white layer)
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon honey or sweetener of choice (white layer)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries, pureed
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, full-fat (blue layer)
  • 12 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (blue layer)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional, blue layer)
  • Wooden popsicle sticks or reusable molds
  • Optional: pinch of salt in fruit purees to enhance flavor

Instructions

  1. Puree strawberries and blueberries separately in a blender or food processor until smooth. Add honey (or sweetener) and a splash of lemon juice to each and blend briefly. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed. (About 5 minutes)
  2. Transfer strawberry puree to a mixing bowl. Fold in 1/2 cup Greek yogurt gently until creamy but well combined. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Whisk until creamy and uniform.
  4. Combine blueberry puree with 1/2 cup Greek yogurt in a separate bowl. Stir gently until mixed.
  5. Pour or spoon a layer of the red mixture into each mold, filling about one-third of the way. Freeze for 15-20 minutes until slightly firm but not completely frozen.
  6. Carefully spoon the white creamy layer over the red layer in the molds, filling another third. Return to freezer for 15-20 minutes.
  7. Spoon the blueberry mixture on top, filling molds to the top. Insert popsicle sticks straight down through the center. Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  8. To unmold, briefly run warm water on the outside of molds to loosen. Pull gently on the stick to release. Serve immediately or keep frozen.

Notes

Use full-fat Greek yogurt for best creaminess. Beat cream cheese well before mixing to avoid lumps. Freeze layers partially between additions to keep colors distinct. Adjust sweetness to taste. Strain seeds from purees for smoother texture if desired. Freeze pops for at least 4 hours or overnight for best firmness. If no molds, use small paper cups covered with foil and poke sticks through foil.
