Ingredients
  

Strawberry Yogurt Popsicles Base

  • 400 g strawberries
  • 40 g white sugar
  • 10 g sweetened condensed milk
  • 100 g yogurt
  • 150 g heavy cream

Filling & Decoration (Optional)

  • Yogurt for filling, as needed
  • Cookie flowers / chocolate for decoration

Instructions
 

Prepare the Strawberries

  • Wash the strawberries with salt – Place the 400 g of strawberries in a bowl of water with a pinch of salt. Gently wash them to remove any dirt, debris, or residue. The salt helps clean the strawberries thoroughly and removes any tiny insects that might be hiding.
  • Rinse and remove the stems – Rinse the strawberries under clean, running water to remove the salt. Remove the green stems and leaves from each strawberry. Pat the strawberries dry with a paper towel or clean kitchen cloth.

Make the Popsicle Base

  • Combine all ingredients in a blender – In a blender or food processor, add the cleaned and stemmed strawberries (400 g), white sugar (40 g), sweetened condensed milk (10 g), yogurt (100 g), and heavy cream (150 g).
  • Blend until smooth and creamy – Blend the mixture on high speed until it becomes a smooth, creamy, milkshake-like consistency. There should be no large chunks of strawberry remaining. The mixture should look uniform in color and texture.
  • Strain to remove strawberry seeds – Pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh strainer or sieve into a large bowl or pitcher. Use a spatula to press the liquid through, scraping the underside of the strainer to collect all the mixture. Leave the strawberry seeds behind in the strainer. This step is very important — removing the seeds gives you a silky, smooth texture with no gritty bits.

Fill and Freeze

  • Pour the strained mixture into molds – Pour the strained strawberry mixture into your popsicle molds. If you're using a hollow-center mold, fill only the outer cavity (follow your specific mold's instructions carefully). For regular molds, fill almost to the top, leaving about 1/4 inch of space for expansion as the mixture freezes.
  • Insert popsicle sticks – Insert popsicle sticks into each mold. If your mold comes with its own sticks or lids with built-in sticks, use those. Make sure the sticks are centered so the popsicles freeze evenly.
  • Freeze for at least 4 hours – Place the filled molds carefully in the freezer, making sure they are standing upright and won't tip over. Freeze for a minimum of 4 hours, or until the popsicles are completely solid from center to edge. For best results, freeze overnight. The longer they freeze, the more stable they become.

Unmold and Add Filling (for Hollow-Center Molds)

  • Unmold the frozen popsicles – Once fully frozen, remove the popsicles from the molds. If they are stuck, run the outside of the mold under warm water for 5-10 seconds to release them.
  • Fill the hollow center with yogurt – If you used a hollow-center mold, you will now have a popsicle with an empty cavity in the middle. Pour or pipe thick yogurt into the hollow center until it is completely full. Use a thick, creamy yogurt so it doesn't drip out. Greek yogurt works best for this.
  • Add decoration – Press a small cookie flower or piece of chocolate into the yogurt filling on top of each popsicle. This adds a pretty, decorative touch that makes the popsicles look professional and special.
  • Freeze again to set – Return the filled and decorated popsicles to the freezer. Freeze for another 1-2 hours, or until the yogurt filling is completely frozen and firm. Do not skip this second freeze — the yogurt needs time to solidify.

Serve

  • Enjoy immediately – Remove the popsicles from the freezer and serve right away. Enjoy the creamy, fruity, perfectly pink strawberry yogurt popsicles while they're at their best.
