Ingredients

- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, adjust for sweetness)
- 1 cup mixed fresh fruits (such as strawberries, blueberries, mangoes, or peaches), chopped
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the yogurt with honey or maple syrup (if using) and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well combined.
- Prepare the Fruit: Chop the fruits into small pieces. You can either mix them into the yogurt or layer them separately for a more colorful popsicle.
- Assemble the Popsicles: Spoon a layer of yogurt mixture into each popsicle mold, followed by a layer of chopped fruit. Repeat the layers until the molds are filled, finishing with a layer of yogurt on top.
- Insert Sticks and Freeze: Tap the molds gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles. Insert popsicle sticks into each mold and place them in the freezer.
- Freeze Until Solid: Allow the popsicles to freeze for at least 4-6 hours or until completely solid.
- Remove and Serve: To remove the popsicles from the molds, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds to loosen them. Serve immediately and enjoy!
