Ingredients

Blueberry Layer

Cherry Layer

  • 2 cups cherries
  • 2 Tbsp. honey
  • 2 Tbsp. sugar
  • 1 Tbsp. heavy cream optional

Yogurt Layer

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 4 tsp. honey
  • ½ vanilla bean seeds only
  • ½ tsp. vanilla extract

Instructions

Red Layer

  • Place cherries, honey, sugar, and heavy cream in food processor or blender. Blend until smooth.
  • Pour cherry mixture into popsicle molds. Place in freezer and add popsicle sticks. Let freeze for 30 minutes. Adjust sticks if necessary.

White Layer

  • Use a spoon to combine Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla bean seeds, and vanilla extract together in a small bowl.
  • Spoon mixture onto top of frozen red layer. Freeze for 30 minutes or until solid. Begin the blue layer while it freezes.

Blue Layer

  • Place blueberries, sugar, vanilla extract, and water in small saucepan.
  • Cook over medium heat for five minutes, stirring continually until most of the berries burst. Set aside until cool.
  • Pour mixture on top of white layer. Freeze until the popsicles are completely solid.

Notes

If you want to try a differnet flavors, here are fresh fruits that will work for each layer:
  • Red: Strawberries, cherries, raspberries, watermelon, or pitaya (dragon fruit)
  • White: Coconut milk, almond milk, heavy cream
  • Blue: Blueberries, blackberries, mulberries
 
Popsicle Tips:
  • After 30 minutes, adjust the sticks if you see they are not standing straight up.
  • For cleaner divisions between the layers, wipe the inside of your popsicle molds clean after you add a layer. Or, pipe in the layer using a bag fitted with a round tip.
  • To remove the pops from the mold, run the outside of the mold under warm water just until they begin to loosen when you pull on the stick.
