Berry Parfait Yogurt Popsicle Recipe

“Silly though it may sound, pulling these beautiful berry parfait yogurt popsicles from their molds filled me with the pure joy of childhood summers spent running through the sprinklers and riding bikes to our neighborhood shaved ice stand. I see many happy homemade popsicle days ahead.

To make the yogurt popsicles, I started by cooking fruit on the stove with a bit of honey, which breaks the fruit down and keeps it soft enough to bite into once it is frozen into the yogurt popsicles—no cracking of teeth on hard frozen strawberry nuggets please. I heated strawberries and blueberries separately so that I could layer them into pretty red and blue stripes, but feel free to mix a few different types of fruit together, keep it simple with one, or swap in other summer fruits you love.

For the full parfait experience, I also layered in granola, which I was delighted to discover that, when mixed with the yogurt, softens into heavenly bites reminiscent of oatmeal cookie dough. Swoon.

Finally, holding our popsicles together is powerhouse Greek yogurt, which provides 8 grams of protein per popsicle. These pretty parfaits on a stick are both filling and a tasty way to munch one of your three recommended daily dairy servings.” ~Well Plated
