Here at Sugar HQ, everyone is crazy for the new, dangerously close frozen yogurt joint, SoGreen. After consuming a couple of SoGreen's delicious, fruity treats, I decided to experiment with my own variation. Currently I'm obsessed with Popsicles, so naturally, I was inspired to make a frozen yogurt Popsicle.
The recipe is simple with only a couple ingredients: strained yogurt, fresh fruit, and sugar. I had strawberries and golden raspberries on hand, but any fruit combination would work.
Once frozen, the bite-sized strawberry chunks were more crunchy than I would have preferred. To avoid the crunchy and hard-to-eat fruit, be sure to thinly slice all berries. Much like any other homemade Popsicle, the hardest part is waiting for them to freeze.

Original Recipe
Ingredients
4 cups whole milk yogurt
2 cups chopped strawberries
1/4 cup chopped raspberries
4 tbsp sugar
Directions
- Strain liquid from the yogurt. To strain, place cheesecloth or paper towels in a colander. Pour yogurt into the colander and place it in a large bowl. Place in refrigerator for 2 hours.
- Chop strawberries. I chopped them into chunks but in the future, I will quarter the berries and finely slice them into paper thin slivers.
- Place strawberries in a bowl and add sugar.
- Chop or puree raspberries and add to strawberries, stir to combine.
- Stir the strained yogurt into strawberry raspberry mixture.
- Fill popsicle molds.
- Wait patiently to freeze.
Makes 8 popsicles.

I'd love to have one right now - it's hot here!
1This looks delicious!
2The recipe specifies whole milk yogurt. Is there a reason for this (does it freeze better?) or do you guys think I can substitute lowfat or nonfat yogurt?
3The fat and sugars make the popsicles creamier (makes smaller ice crystals). If you reduce the fat in the recipe, you'll end up with larger ice crystals and also your popsicle will be a little more ice-like and less creamy. But, heck... it'll still be good! I'd go with a lowfat yogurt. Maybe you could do 1/2 lowfat and 1/2 nonfat and let us all know the result?!
4These sound nummmmmy! You read my mind again. I picked up some Edy's frozen fruit bars the other night. Soooo good, but I'll be making this recipe when the box is gone.
5uh ok, which sugar is bringing me one of these?? Hands up ppl!! Yum, I nominate you to delivr this tasty treat to my door
it looks so perfect and tasty!
6Looks yummy, but could you use a food processor for the fruit? I'm a lazy chopper:)
7My brain won't shut off...thinking of potential combos for this recipe! Pom and mango? Peach and blueberry? Pineapple and orange? Maybe even banana with coconut milk for part of the yogurt? Oh, the gleeful madness!
8These look so yummy. Can't wait to try them.
9Looks so good.
10yum yum give me some
11i might be the hot weather thats making me crave this recipe.
12Looks sooo yummy!
13I didnt get the yogurt in the colander part...
14Of course, you could puree it but I wanted to be able to see the fruit in the popsicle rather than just have a pink one. But either way would be just as delicious!!!
I strained the yogurt to remove some of the water. I am sure you could use un-strained yogurt but it might be more icey and less creamy. The straining process is really easy and only takes a couple of hours, so I would give it a try if you make them.
Hope this helps and please let me know what combinations you might make! As they are endless....
15looks soooooooooooo good!!!
16I'm going out and getting some molds tonight!
