Firecracker Ice Pops
A few weeks ago, The Littlest Apple and I made these Firecracker Ice Pops. The Littlest Apple LOVES popsicles (and really, who doesn’t?!), so I thought we could try making our own. I think I may have enjoyed these more than The Littlest Apple…I liked that these aren’t overly sweet and that they include a yogurt layer. He probably would have preferred an all strawberry popsicle that was a little sweeter.
Firecracker Ice Pops
recipe from Everyday Food
Ingredients:
- 1/2 pound strawberries, hulled and quartered (1 1/2 cups)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 pound blueberries (1 1/2 cups)
- 1 1/4 cups low-fat plain yogurt
In a food processor, puree strawberries with 1 tablespoon sugar. Transfer to a small bowl. In processor, puree blueberries with 1 tablespoon sugar. In another small bowl, whisk together yogurt and 2 tablespoons sugar. Pour the 3 mixtures, alternating, into ten 3-ounce ice-pop molds, making 3 to 5 layers each. Swirl mixtures if desired. Insert ice-pop sticks and freeze until solid, 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
The Littlest Apple (pre haircut) enjoy his popsicle….
Ha ha! He looks a bit like he is saying, “Hmmm… I’m-not-so-sure-about-this!” LOL! What a CUTIE PIE! He is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. In a manly way. 😉
Such a great idea ~ thanks for sharing! Great photos. Your ‘Littlest Apple’ is adorable. 🙂
I love the name “firecracker”. Looks delicious!
Katherine- Thanks so much for saying that. We certainly think The Littlest Apple is handsome. Can’t wait to see how that plays out when he’s a teenager! 🙂
Liz-Thanks for all of your comments recently! I’m so glad I found your blog.
FoodontheTable-I guess these are called Firecracker Popsicles since they’re red, white, and blue….probably meant to be served for July Fourth. I was a little late with them, but I think they’re delicious year round!
