Blackberry Yogurt Popsicles
Tomas Kauer - News Writer and Moderator 
Most fruit popsicles taste like frozen juice. These taste like frozen yoghurt because they are, more or less. One cup of blackberries blended smooth, mixed with vanilla yoghurt, honey, and sugar, poured into moulds and frozen for four hours. These don’t last long here.
The vanilla yoghurt is what gives these their creamy, tang-forward character. It gives the popsicles a tang and creaminess that fruit-and-water popsicles cannot match. The honey and sugar together sweeten without being cloying. Blackberries alone would be too tart.
Tips for Making Blackberry Yogurt Popsicles
Blend the blackberries first
Blend one cup of blackberries on their own until smooth. If you do not like seeds, strain through a fine sieve. Blackberry seeds are small but noticeable in a popsicle.
Then mix the puree with the yoghurt, honey, and sugar. Stir by hand rather than blending again. Over-blending makes the mixture too thin.
Freeze for at least four hours
Pour into moulds and freeze. The yoghurt means these take longer to freeze solid than water-based popsicles.
Run warm water over the outside of the mould for a few seconds to release them. Do not pull on the stick while the popsicle is still stuck.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use Greek yoghurt?
Yes. Greek yoghurt makes them thicker and tangier. Regular vanilla yoghurt makes them sweeter and softer. Both work.
Can I use other berries?
Raspberries, strawberries, or a mix all work. Blueberries need more sugar because they are less sweet than blackberries. Taste the puree before mixing with the yoghurt.
Can I reduce the sugar?
The honey provides sweetness on its own. Start with one tablespoon of sugar instead of two, taste, and adjust. Frozen things taste less sweet than room-temperature things, so err on the sweeter side.
