Step-by-Step Instructions

Once you’re got all your supplies together, follow these simple steps:

  1. In a blender or bowl mix together the yogurt, coconut milk, syrup and vanilla.
  2. Set this mixture aside in a separate jar, bowl or container.
  3. To make your first layer, take 1 cup of the yogurt mixture you just mixed up and put inside a blender. Add 1 cup of your fruit of choice and blend up until very smooth. You can also add food coloring or other options to create a more potent color – but I find it best to leave it out and enjoy the natural color of the fruit. You could add spirulina powder or beet root powder for a healthier choice to make a richer color.
  4. Fill your popsicle molds up about 1/3 of the way with this mixture, insert popsicle sticks and set in freezer for at least 1 hour.
  5. If you want the second layer to be white, simply remove about 1 1/2 cups of the yogurt mixture and fill the molds another 1/3 of the way up. You could also add more fruit to this layer, blend and pour.
  6. Let freeze again for another hour or more.
  7. For your last layer, blend fruit in with the remaining yogurt mixture and finish filling the popsicle molds. Freeze until completely solid.

The process of making layered yogurt pops is more effort than just one flavor of popsicle, but it is well worth the effort! Eating each layer and getting the different flavors is such a delight!

  • 1 cup frozen or fresh fruit per layer (strawberries, blueberries, mango, pineapple, bananas, raspberries, peach, etc.)

Instructions

  • In a blender or bowl mix together the yogurt, coconut milk, syrup and vanilla.
  • Set this mixture aside in a separate jar, bowl or container.
  • To make your first layer, take 1 cup of the yogurt mixture you just mixed up and put inside a blender. Add 1 cup of your fruit of choice and blend up until very smooth.

Storing Your Layered Homemade Yogurt Popsicles

Store your delicious layered yogurt popsicles in the freezer in an air-tight container or freezer bag. The yogurt pops can be left in the mold for storing or taken out.

If you remove the yogurt pops from the mold, I recommend wrapping them with something non-stick like parchment paper or plastic wrap. Alternately, you could just place a layer of parchment paper between each yogurt pop to keep them from sticking.

Ideas for Customizing Your Layered Homemade Yogurt Popsicles

These yogurt popsicles are extremely versatile. Feel free to play around with the ingredients to create you own custom flavor blend. Some ideas for customization are:

  • Change up the fresh or frozen fruit or do something like mixed berries in some of your layers
  • Try a flavored yogurt base
  • Switch up the pure maple syrup sweetener for honey or agave nectar
  • Try some coco powder in one of your layers and make a Neapolitan yogurt pop
  • Use food coloring to intensify the colors
  • Use healthy additives like blue spirulina powder for deep blue color or beet root powder for deep red color

How do I Make My Yogurt Popsicles Creamy and Not Icy?

My best tip for getting delicious, creamy textured yogurt popsicles is to use full fat yogurt. Low fat yogurt will result in more icy texture, but it will still taste great either way!

Tips for Making Yogurt Popsicles

Here are a few helpful tips for making the best layered homemade yogurt popsicles:

  • Make sure to get the popsicle stick all the way down into first layer of yogurt.
  • Once you’ve got a layer in your popsicle mold, gently tap it to get any air bubbles out.
  • You may need to run your popsicle mold under warm water for a minute to loosen the yogurt pops before taking them out.
  • If you want to make a stash of yogurt pops, remove finished pops from the mold and wrap individually so you can use the mold for a second batch.

  1. Make milk kefir. It is so easy, and the kefir milk makes great pops and frozen treats. For some reason they don’t get icy, and the ice cream type frozen treats stay soft enough to scoop, I found some silicone molds that are easy to unmold and have built in stickles. Your layered pops are a great idea. I added some lavender and thought of your new home.

  2. Is it tricky once the stick is frozen in that first layer to take the top off and try to pour in the second two layers….then put the top back on….seems like it could be a bit challenging?
