“Should we buy strawberry or cherry?” my mom asked as we neared the yogurt section of the grocery store.  Summer was the only time she bought yogurt, and when she did, I knew we’d be making frozen yogurt pie.  That cold, creamy dessert is something my siblings and I still remember about summertime as kids.  This yogurt popsicle recipe gives a new twist to that refreshing treat.

With only 2 ingredients, and no need for exact measuring, these yogurt ice pops are super simple to make.  They are a perfect recipe for kids to make on their own.

Ingredients

• 1 — 8 oz. container of Cool Whip, thawed (We used the fat free version.)
• 2 — 6 oz. containers of yogurt
• Popsicle/Ice Pop molds
• Large mixing bowl
• Spoon

Creamy Yogurt Popsicle Recipe

Use your spoon to scoop 1/2 of the Cool Whip into the bowl.

Next, add both containers of yogurt.  Any flavor of yogurt will work for this recipe.  We like using a fruit variety, like cherry, strawberry, or blueberry.

Mix the yogurt and whipped topping together until well blended.  Use your spoon to fill the ice pop molds.  Be sure to leave 1/4 inch space at the top to allow for the mixture to expand as it freezes.

Freeze overnight.  To remove your ice pops, just run warm water over the outside of the mold for a few seconds.

Growing up, buying yogurt meant one thing.  I love sharing those memories and this delicious summer treat with my own kids.  And they love that this yogurt popsicle recipe is a recipe kids can make.

Whenever we get a big watermelon we tend to eat half, and then the other half just sits in the refrigerator.  This time around I decided to turn that uneaten half into homemade ice pops.  (You may also want to check out our  yogurt popsicle recipe.)

The popsicles turned out delicious, and they were so easy to make.

Homemade Watermelon Popsicle Recipe:

To make watermelon ice pops, cut the watermelon into cubes that are small enough to go into the blender.  Puree the fruit and then pour into popsicle molds.

To make watermelon-berry popsicles, simply add in whatever type of berries you like best.  We added blueberries and raspberries to the watermelon in the blender.  Strawberries would also be yummy.

Let your popsicles set up in the freezer overnight.  These watermelon-berry ice pops make a delicious and healthy summer treat you’ll be glad to give your kids this summer.

This year we had more than enough strawberries in the garden to enjoy plenty of fresh berries as well as make a few tasty treats with them.  We used them to make freezer jam and yummy homemade strawberry popsicles.

When we made the freezer jam there was still a cup or so of cut up strawberries.  I didn’t want them to go to waste, so I smooshed them up a bit with the potato masher and spooned them straight into popsicle molds.

I have to say they are the most delicious popsicles I’ve ever had!  (No sugar added, just plenty of sun-ripe strawberries.)   If you have an over-abundance of strawberries, I highly recommend making some homemade strawberry popsicles.
