Zesty Frozen Lemon Yogurt Popsicles (Printable View)

Tangy lemon meets creamy Greek yogurt in these refreshing frozen pops. Ready in 10 minutes with just 5 simple ingredients.

# What You'll Need:

→ Main Mixture

01 - 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
02 - 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2-3 lemons)
03 - 1 tablespoon lemon zest
04 - 1/2 cup honey (or maple syrup for vegan version)
05 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
06 - Pinch of sea salt

→ Optional Add-ins

07 - 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint
08 - 1/4 cup mini white chocolate chips
09 - Thinly sliced lemon rounds for decoration

# How-To Steps:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is completely smooth and well incorporated.
02 - Gently fold in any desired optional additions such as chopped fresh mint or mini white chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
03 - Pour the mixture evenly into popsicle molds, tapping the molds lightly on the counter to release any trapped air bubbles. Insert popsicle sticks into the center of each mold.
04 - Place the filled molds in the freezer and freeze for a minimum of 4 hours, or until the popsicles are completely firm and solid throughout.
05 - To release the popsicles, briefly run the outside of each mold under warm water for a few seconds, then gently pull the popsicle from the mold. Serve immediately.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • No cooking required, which means your kitchen stays cool and you stay sane during brutal summer weeks.
  • The balance of creamy yogurt and sharp lemon creates something that tastes far more indulgent than 85 calories per pop has any right to.
02 -
  • If your popsicles crack when you pull them out, the water was too hot or you rushed the freeze time.
  • Taste the mixture before freezing, because the cold dulls sweetness and you may want an extra drizzle of honey.
03 -
  • Zest your lemons before juicing them because a spent lemon half is nearly impossible to grate cleanly.
  • Let the molds sit on the counter for two minutes before running water over them, as the ambient warmth starts the release gently.
