Tips for making the best frozen yogurt popsicles
- Make sure to use full-fat Greek yogurt. The full fat in the yogurt helps reduce the water content, so they become more creamy and less icy.
- Use small paper cups. If you don’t have a popsicle mold, you can also use small paper cups. Fill ¾ full, then cover with tin foil. Poke a popsicle stick through the foil and freeze until set. You can peel off the paper cup once frozen.
- Taste before freezing. The level of sweetness may vary depending on the brand of Greek yogurt you use and how ripe the fruit was when it was frozen, so it’s best to do a taste test of the yogurt puree before pouring it into popsicle molds. Also, remember that the flavor will dull slightly when frozen, so make sure your popsicles pack in that punch that you want.
- Remove popsicles from the mold. Once the yogurt popsicles are fully frozen, they should release easily from the mold. If you have difficulty getting the pops out, run the bottom of the mold under warm water for a few moments to help loosen them.
Popular substitutions & additions
- Swap any frozen fruit for any of the flavors. The options for these Greek yogurt popsicles are endless! Swap in your favorite fruit for an easy on-the-go breakfast or after-dinner treat.
- Make it chunky. Reserve some fruit or shredded coconut for pineapple pops before blending the yogurt mixture. Then add the chunks of fruit to the popsicles for a varied texture. You can fold them gently in the blender or add them directly to the popsicle mold.
- Add crunch. Add crunch by sprinkling chopped nuts, granola, or chocolate chips into popsicle molds before pouring the yogurt mixture. Try chopped walnuts for a chocolate banana or pistachios for the pineapple popsicle. Chocolate chips would be amazing with the strawberry yogurt pops.
- Sweeteners. Adjust the sweetness level by reducing or increasing the sweetener as desired. You can also swap in other sweeteners like agave nectar or even a few drops of stevia.
- Make layered popsicles. Why not enjoy all these flavors on one popsicle stick? To make multi-layered yogurt popsicles, make a single batch of one flavor and pour equal amounts into each mold. Freeze until firm. Then blend another flavor and pour it on top of the first. Finish with all your desired flavors, and freeze well.
How to store yogurt popsicles
The best way to store yogurt popsicles to avoid freezer burn is in the popsicle mold in the freezer. But you can also remove them from the molds, wrap individually in plastic wrap, and place them in an airtight container.
How long will yogurt popsicles last in the freezer?
Yogurt popsicles can technically be frozen for up to a few months, but I recommend enjoying them within two weeks for the best quality and taste.

Hi Yumna, would almond milk give the same smooth consistency as dairy milk?
Hi there! I haven’t tried almond milk but I think it would work okay. It might not be quite as smooth as dairy milk but the Greek yogurt will still make it thick and creamy!
Would honey work as well as maple syrup?
Yes! You can use honey instead if that is what you prefer!
Having the hardest time finding full fat Greek yogurt!!! What brand do you recommend? Where can I buy some?
You can use whole milk Greek Yogurt, I use Stonyfield. Hope you enjoy!
Perfect for summer,am going to try this out for my niece and nephews,thank you.

You’re so welcome, Reen! Hope they enjoy!
Your recipe says 6 servings but your mold holds 10 so which is it?
You don’t have to fill all 10 compartments of the mold – it’s just the mold I use and each recipe makes around 6-8 popsicles.
