Let’s Begin!
Ingredients:
NOTE: You will also need a blender or smoothie maker, popsicle mold and sticks (I used wooden bowtie sticks, they were the perfect size for my mold.) Depending on the size of your popsicle molds, you may have leftover ingredients. I poured my leftovers in a different mold to enjoy later…or taste test before! The measurements of the fruits do not have to be exact, you may use less or more.
Instructions:
My husband always makes fun of my “baby’ spoons in our drawer, but they come in handy sometimes and was very useful for this. I let the yogurt slide off and plop into the center, then jiggled the mold to even out. In hindsight, I should have added a tiny bit more to this layer…the yogurt layer was “SO Delicious”, just like the name suggests! 😋 Be sure to place the mold in the freezer for 2-3 hours, until yogurt layer is completely frozen.
When ready to enjoy, either set out for a few minutes before unmolding, or set mold in a container filled with warm, NOT HOT, water for 15-20 seconds and they should easily unmold.
This lovely and festive “Patriotic” apron was a gift from my mother-in-law. Thanks Joan! 💖🤍💙
