My Yogurt Popsicles are So Good!
I started making yogurt popsicles as a way to use up leftover yogurt, and now it’s something we keep stocked in the freezer all summer. The base is simple. Greek yogurt, milk, a little sweetener, and vanilla. Then I blend in whatever I’m in the mood for. My kids are big fans of the strawberry and chocolate banana versions, but I love the pineapple one with a little coconut mixed in. They’re easy to prep, fun to customize, and way better than anything store-bought, IMO.
Happy Cooking!

Yogurt Popsicles Base Ingredients
- Greek yogurt: Use full-fat Greek yogurt for creamier popsicles.
- Milk: Any type will work.
- Maple syrup or Honey: Liquid sweeteners blend in better; I don’t recommend using granulated sugar.
- Vanilla extract: Use pure vanilla extract for the best flavor.
Variations to Make
Strawberry Yogurt Popsicles: Just add Frozen Strawberries.
Blueberry Yogurt Popsicles: Just add Frozen Blueberries.
Pineapple Yogurt Popsicles: Just add frozen pineapple and optional coconut flakes.
Chocolate Banana Yogurt Popsicles: Just add bananas and cocoa powder.

Recipe Additions
- Swap any frozen fruit for any of the flavors. The options for these Greek yogurt popsicles are endless! Swap in your favorite fruit.
- Make it chunky. Reserve some fruit. 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. You can also swap in other sweeteners like agave nectar or even a few drops of stevia.
- Make layered popsicles. 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 flavors, and freeze well.
Recipe Tips
- 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 will vary depending on the brand of Greek yogurt used and the ripeness of the fruit 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.
- Remove popsicles from the mold for storage. 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. Then wrap them in small squares of parchment inside a freezer-safe zip top bag so you don’t have to fight with the mold every time you want to enjoy one.
Recipe Help & FAQs
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. I like to remove them from the mold and wrap in plastic wrap or parchment paper then store in a freezer-safe zip top bag.
Yes, you can use dairy-free yogurt, such as coconut yogurt, to make delicious dairy-free yogurt popsicles. Simply substitute the Greek yogurt with your preferred non-dairy option and follow the recipe as written.
The freezing time can vary depending on the size of the popsicles and the temperature of your freezer. Generally, it will take about 4-6 hours for yogurt popsicles to freeze until firm.
Yes, you can use flavored yogurt, but remember that it likely already contains sweeteners, so you must adjust the amount of additional sweetener in the recipe. Plus, the result will differ depending on the yogurt’s flavor.
Comments
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.
