Fruit N' Yogurt Pops
Here's a great little recipe that doesn't require an ice cream machine.
Kids and grandkids can get right in there and help.
You'll need to assemble the tools.
Paper cups: Check
Popsicle sticks: Check
Hmm, funny looking popsicle sticks. Well ok, I wasn't prepared, so I had to improvise. It was either straws or plastic spoons.
The straws won out.
I cut them into shorter lengths.
Hey, don't laugh. It worked!
Now for some fresh fruit. I wanted mixed berry, so I combined strawberries, raspberries, blueberries.
Other options: bananas, peaches, blackberries, or any combination thereof.
This is my new favorite thing. I add that to my blender,
along with some honey.
The fruit is in the bottom.
I only have a smoothie blender, so I make small batches. I also had to mix it up with a spoon a little to get it to mix properly.
Ok, give it a whirl.
Pour it in the cups, cover with foil, push a popsicle stick, um, I mean a straw, through a small hole that you've precut.
Freeze 3-4 hours for firm-frozen.
Remove from freezer, peel off cup, enjoy.
And looky here. The foil makes a lovely little drip pan for those who eat slowly to avoid brain freeze.
If you freeze the pops longer than 3-4 hours, like overnight, you may want to let them thaw about 5-10 minutes. Otherwise you have to scrape off small amounts with your teeth.
Which helps to avoid brain freeze.
Anyway, these are good on a hot summer day,
on a hot summer night, or any day or night for that matter.
Are they ever good.
Happy Saturday, and may the chill be with you.
