Zesty Frozen Lemon Yogurt Popsicles (Printable)

Creamy frozen treats blending tangy lemon, Greek yogurt, and honey for a refreshing summer dessert.

# What You'll Need:

→ Main Mixture

01 - 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
02 - 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 to 3 lemons)
03 - 1 tablespoon lemon zest
04 - 1/2 cup honey
05 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
06 - Pinch of sea salt

→ Optional Add-ins

07 - 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint
08 - 1/4 cup mini white chocolate chips
09 - Thinly sliced lemon rounds for garnish

# Directions:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and uniformly blended.
02 - Gently fold in any desired optional ingredients such as chopped fresh mint or mini white chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
03 - Pour the yogurt mixture evenly into popsicle molds, tapping the molds lightly on the counter to release any trapped air bubbles. Insert popsicle sticks into the center of each mold.
04 - Transfer the filled molds to the freezer and freeze for a minimum of 4 hours, or until the popsicles are completely firm and set.
05 - To release the popsicles, briefly run the outside of each mold under warm water for a few seconds, then gently pull the popsicle upward by the stick. Serve immediately.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • These take barely ten minutes of active work, and the payoff is a creamy, tangy pop that puts anything from the grocery store freezer to shame.
  • The honey sweetened lemon base is endlessly adaptable, so you can tweak it to suit anyone from a tart loving adult to a sugar craving kid.
02 -
  • If your yogurt is low fat, the pops will turn icier, so add an extra tablespoon of honey to help with texture and scoopability.
  • Taste the mixture before freezing because once frozen the flavors mute slightly, and you cannot adjust after the fact.
03 -
  • Zest directly into the mixing bowl so the essential oils fall straight into the yogurt instead of drying out on a cutting board.
  • If your popsicle mold does not include a lid, cover the top tightly with foil and poke the sticks through so they freeze standing straight.
