Berries and Cream Popsicles

Ingredients (6 large or 12 small popsicles)

2 cups frozen mixed berries*
1 – 2 tbsp agave nectar
1.5 – 2 cups vanilla coconut yogurt

6 large or 12 small popsicle moulds

Method

  1. Blend frozen mixed berries and agave nectar together until smooth. If you do not have a high speed blender, you may need to let your berries sit for about 30 minutes to thaw halfway in order to get to a smoother consistency. Set aside.
  2. Divide yogurt into the 6 or 12 different popsicle moulds (if being precise, 6 large moulds will get ~1/4-1/3 cup of yogurt in each, while 12 small moulds will get ~2-3 tbsp of yogurt in each). Lightly bang the popsicle mould holder on the counter to help remove air bubbles and allow the yogurt to settle into the bottom crevices of the moulds.
  3. Evenly divide the sweetened, blended berry mix into the tops of the moulds.
  4. Swirl the berry mix and yogurt together along the inner sides of the moulds using the popsicle mould sticks, a spare popsicle stick, a skewer, or butter knife (whatever you have on hand). This add a pretty swirled pattern and variation between each bite when enjoying the popsicles.
  5. Freeze until solid – I find it easiest to freeze overnight.

Notes:

  1. *My favourite berry mix is blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, and raspberries. I find that there is the perfect combination of sweet, tart, and sourness in this mix. These are all also widely grown in my area, so they are pretty much always available, fresh or frozen.
  2. Agave nectar can be substituted for your favourite liquid sweetener (ex. maple syrup), or omitted if you find that your berries and yogurt are sweet enough.
  3. For even less sweetness and more tang, opt for an unflavoured and unsweetened yogurt.
