Yield 6 ice pops (ice lollies)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2⁄3 cup (5 fl oz/150 ml) pomegranate juice
2⁄3 cup (5 fl oz/150 ml) plain Greek-style yogurt or lebneh
1 tablespoon honey
1 vanilla bean
seeds from 1 pomegranate

Steps:

  • Pour equal amounts of pomegranate juice into ¼ cup (2 fl oz/ 50 ml) ice pop (ice lolly) molds, filling each one halfway. Freeze for 1 hour, or until the juice is beginning to harden but is not completely frozen.
  • In a bowl, combine the yogurt or lebneh and honey. Split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape the seeds into the bowl. Stir to combine.
  • Remove the molds from the freezer, push in the sticks, and top up with the yogurt mixture. To get a marbled effect, stir the pomegranate and the yogurt together briefly. Finish with a sprinkling of seeds. Return to the freezer for several hours, or until completely frozen.
  • To remove the ice pops from the molds, dip very briefly in hot water. Note: For a vegan-friendly option, replace the yogurt with unsweetened soy milk and the honey with agave.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of yogurts. Plain yogurt is a great base, but you can also use flavored yogurts, Greek yogurt, or even kefir.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins. Fruits, berries, nuts, seeds, and granola are all great additions to yogurt ice pops.
  • Get creative with your molds. You can use traditional ice pop molds, or you can get creative and use other containers, such as paper cups, muffin tins, or even a loaf pan.
  • Freeze your ice pops quickly. The faster your ice pops freeze, the less likely they are to develop ice crystals, which can make them icy and unpleasant to eat.
  • Enjoy your ice pops! Yogurt ice pops are a healthy and delicious snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
