Lemonade Yogurt Popsicles

Another stolen recipe from Angela! She made these the other night and I had to make them at home! These are very refreshing and tangy!

If you use an ice cube tray: Pour mix into the wells. Cover the top with tin foil and put popsicle stick into each cube hole.

Variations: try using substituting limes or oranges for the lemons!

Lemonade Yogurt Popsicles 
makes about 5 pops

2 lemons, about 1/2 cup lemon juice
1 1/2 vanilla yogurt  (regular or Greek style)
Honey (optional)
Popsicle mold or ice cube tray

Zest the lemons, use only the color part and not the white part underneath.
Juice the lemons.
Mix juice and zest into the yogurt.
Taste, if it is too tart add 1 tbsp of honey until it tastes how you want.
Carefully pour into the molds and freeze 6+ hours

To remove from the popsicle mold: place pop under warm running water for 15-20 seconds and then try to remove. If it doesn't come out put under water and repeat.

Homemade Fudge Popsicles

Summer is coming and here is an popsicle recipe! This is a homemade fudgesicle made with normal, real, relatively healthy ingredients you'd have in your house!

These are chocolate-y and very easy to make. The kids enjoy making these as they can read the directions, measure the ingredients, and mix it.

I used 1% milk but according to reviews these can also be made with almond milk. Whole milk would make these extra fudgy and creamy.

I use the Tupperware popsicle molds (here). The recipe makes 8 popsicles so I also make 2 small bowls.

Homemade Fudge Popsicles
Adapted from Brown Eyed Baker
Makes 8 popsicles

¼ c semisweet chocolate chips

2/3 c granulated sugar

2 tbsp cornstarch

3 tbsp natural unsweetened cocoa powder

2½ c milk

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tbsp unsalted butter

Combine the chocolate chips, sugar, cornstarch, cocoa powder, and milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes. Set a timer for 10 minutes and stir, it really will thicken.

Remove from heat, add the vanilla and butter, and stir until well combined.

Let the mixture cool slightly, and then pour into popsicle molds or small bowls. Freeze completely (overnight) before serving.

To remove popsicle from the mold, run popsicle under warm water for 10 seconds then squeeze gently and pull the popsicle out of the case. If it doesn't, try again.
