Ingredients
Roasted Berries
- 12 ounces (two small containers) small berries, such as blueberries and raspberries
- 2 teaspoons sugar (preferably turbinado sugar), optional
- Dash of salt
- 2 tablespoons honey
Yogurt Mixture
- 2 cups whole-milk Greek yogurt (e.g., Fage)
- ¼ cup honey, divided (to taste)
- ½ small lemon, juiced
Instructions
- Roast the Berries: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, gently toss the berries with sugar, a dash of salt, and 2 tablespoons of honey. Spread the berries evenly on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the berry juices thicken but do not burn. Keep an eye on the edges to prevent scorching.
- Prepare Yogurt Base: While the berries roast, blend together the Greek yogurt and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Stir in the remaining honey to taste until the sweetness balances the tartness of the yogurt; adjust with more lemon juice if desired for extra tang.
- Combine Berries and Yogurt: Let the roasted berries cool for at least 10 minutes. Then transfer the berries along with their juices into the bowl of yogurt. Gently fold the mixture together using a large spoon to create a marbled effect—avoid mixing thoroughly to maintain visual texture.
- Freeze the Popsicles: Spoon the blended mixture into popsicle molds and insert sticks. Freeze them for a minimum of 4 hours or until fully set. When ready to serve, briefly run warm water around the molds for about 10 seconds to loosen the popsicles before gently removing them. Enjoy immediately for a refreshing treat.
Notes
- Use whole-milk Greek yogurt for the creamiest texture and richest flavor.
- The roasting step intensifies the berry flavor and adds natural sweetness, but can be skipped if fresh, tart popsicles are preferred.
- For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with a thick coconut yogurt and use maple syrup instead of honey.
- If you don’t have popsicle molds, you can use small paper cups and wooden sticks as an alternative.
- Adjust honey quantity based on your preferred sweetness and the natural ripeness of the berries.
