Peach Yogurt Popsicles

Creating visually appealing popsicles enhances the overall experience, making them not only delicious but also a feast for the eyes. The key to achieving a stunning swirled effect in your Peach Bliss Yogurt Popsicles lies in the layering technique. Begin by pouring a layer of the peach puree into the molds, filling them about one-third full. Next, add a layer of yogurt, filling another third of the mold. Use a toothpick or skewer to swirl the peach puree and yogurt together gently, creating a beautiful marbled effect.

Ingredients

3 ripe peaches, pitted and chopped

1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or substitute with non-dairy yogurt for a vegan option)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust based on your sweetness preference)

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice

Pinch of salt

Optional: fresh peach slices or mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the Peaches: Begin by washing the peaches thoroughly. Carefully pit and chop them into small pieces. If you desire a smoother popsicle, you can peel the peaches, though leaving the skin on provides extra fiber and nutritional benefits.

Blend the Ingredients: In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the chopped peaches, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend everything together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Taste the blend and adjust sweetness as needed.

Layer the Popsicles: For a visually appealing swirled effect, pour half of the yogurt mixture into popsicle molds. If you’re using them, add some reserved chopped peach pieces for added texture. Top with the remaining yogurt mixture. To create a beautiful marble effect, take a skewer or toothpick and gently swirl the mixtures together without fully blending them.

Insert Sticks and Freeze: Carefully place the popsicle sticks into the center of each mold. If your molds are not designed to hold the sticks upright, freeze the molds for about 2 hours until the mixture has slightly firmed, then insert the sticks for the remaining freeze time.

Freeze: Ensure the molds are covered with a lid or some aluminum foil to prevent any ice crystals from forming. Freeze the popsicles for a minimum of 4-6 hours, or for the best results, overnight.

Unmold the Popsicles: Once the popsicles are fully frozen, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds to loosen them. Gently pull the popsicles out; if they resist, return them to the warm water for an additional few seconds.

Serve and Enjoy: Serve the popsicles immediately for a refreshing treat. For an extra touch, garnish with fresh peach slices or mint leaves. Any leftover popsicles can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one month.
