With this roadmap to creating the ultimate fruit-yogurt popsicles at your disposal, you’ll be enjoying them in no time.
Close your eyes and picture the most perfect fruit-yogurt popsicle. Now, think about the qualities that make it good. Are there splashes of vibrant fruity color peeking out from yogurt’s off-white tones? Is it creamy, rich, and smooth? Is the texture light or dense?
That said, just because full-fat Greek yogurt came out on top in my taste tests doesn’t mean it will always prevail when paired with a fruit—but given that it was our favorite with three different fruits, it's likely the way to go in most, if not all, cases.The other crucial element to fruit-yogurt popsicle success is choosing the fruit and determining how to handle it.
I was less sure about blueberry and raspberry: they're delicious out-of-hand, but also often cooked into pie fillings or jams. In the end, testing revealed that both are tastier if you lightly cook them first. Blueberries and raspberries benefited greatly from a gentle simmer, taming their raw tartness while concentrating their fruity sweetness.
Sugar also affects texture. Unadulterated yogurt will harden into a brick when frozen, but adding sugar will transform it into soft, smooth, and creamy. This happens because, meaning it attracts water and lowers the freezing point. The result is less ice crystal formation, so the more sugar you add, the softer your popsicles will be.
