Looking for a refreshing and healthy treat to cool down with? These Blackberry Yogurt Lollies are packed with real fruit, creamy yogurt, and just the right touch of natural sweetness. They’re easy to make, fun for kids, and perfect for hot days!
These frozen lollies (or popsicles) are a great alternative to store-bought desserts—no artificial colors, flavors, or excess sugar. Just wholesome ingredients you can feel good about.
Ingredients (Makes 6–8 lollies):
- 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen blackberries
- 1 ½ cups plain or Greek yogurt (dairy or plant-based)
- 2–3 tbsp honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (brightens the flavor)
Instructions:
1. Blend the berries:
Add blackberries and lemon juice to a blender. Blend until smooth. If desired, strain through a sieve to remove seeds.
2. Sweeten and mix:
In a bowl, combine yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla. Swirl in the blackberry puree gently—create a marbled effect or mix fully for uniform color.
3. Pour into moulds:
Spoon the mixture into popsicle or lolly molds. Tap gently to remove air bubbles and insert sticks.
4. Freeze:
Place in the freezer for 4–6 hours, or until fully set.
5. Unmold and enjoy:
To release, run the molds under warm water for a few seconds. Serve immediately and enjoy your fruity frozen treat!
