This homemade version adapted from Southern Living brings back the iconic favorite all from the comfort of the kitchen.
Gather Ingredients
Gather fresh strawberries, raspberries or cherries; blueberries, lemon and lime juice; granulated sugar; heavy cream; and whole-milk yogurt.
Start Cooking
- Process strawberries, sugar and juices until they’re smooth then drain and discard the solids. Put a few tablespoons in each ice pop mold and freeze until firm.
- Stir the yogurt, heavy cream, sugar and more juice before portioning into the ice pop molds. Freeze until firm.
- Process blueberries, sugar and juices until they’re smooth then drain and discard the solids. Just like the strawberry layer, put a few tablespoons into each mold. Insert ice pop sticks into the molds then freeze until firm, which will take around six hours.
When it’s time to cool off after a long day in the sun, remove the ice pops from their molds and enjoy! To keep leftovers fresh, remove them from the molds and store in an airtight freezer bag.
