Fruit Popsicles

Fruit Popsicles

(I used fresh strawberries for this recipe)

Makes 6

  • 1 cup full fat Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup coconut condensed milk (keto)
  • 2 tblspns heavy cream
  • 1 cup fresh fruit or berries
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  1. Clean fruit well and cut into smallish pieces
  2. Drop a few pieces into the popsicle mold to add a colourful fruity pop top
  3. Measure out the yoghurt, condensed milk, cream and vanilla essence into the container you will be blending in
  4. Add the rest of the fresh fruit to the dairy mix (I’ve made blueberry, strawberry and a mix of berries varieties)
  5. In a blender or a mason jar using a stick blender blend it very well. Taste to see if you want it sweeter, I don’t like it too sweet.
  6. Pour into your popsicle molds, leaving space at the top for expansion when it freezes, so take care not to over fill
  7. Make sure to get the trapped air out where your berries are at the bottom, I use a steel skewer
  8. Seal and place in freezer for at least 12 hours
  9. Dip in a mug of very hot water for 5 seconds and they should pull out of the mold easily
  10. Hope you try these. BTW, this mold is wonderful, it has a little stand and the popsicle molds seal well

I’m going to try peach and lemon next, maybe plum too. Apricots might be yummy. For autumn, coffee, chocolate or banana? You could get really creative, that’s for sure! They are super quick to throw together, it’s the waiting for them to freeze though!

Thanks for being here!

We’ve had a very hot two weeks here in the PNW but shouldn’t complain as the rest of summer has been absolutely lovely. Here are a few photos of summer treats, dishes and places.

Wishing you peace in your heart and home.
