Equipment

  • Popsicle Molds
  • Blender
  • Fine Mesh Sieve (Optional)

Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh mulberries or 1½ cups frozen, thawed
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries hulled
  • 3 tablespoons honey divided (substitute maple syrup for vegan option)
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt coconut yogurt works for dairy-free alternative
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt enhances natural sweetness

Instructions

  • Clean the mulberries thoroughly and remove any stems. For wild-harvested mulberries, soak briefly in cold water with a tablespoon of vinegar to remove any insects. Blend mulberries with 1½ tablespoons of honey until smooth. For a smoother texture, pass through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds (optional).
  • Hull the strawberries and blend with the remaining 1½ tablespoons of honey and lemon juice. The acid in the lemon juice brightens the flavor while preserving the vibrant red color.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
  • Alternate spoonfuls of the mulberry puree, strawberry puree, and yogurt mixture into popsicle molds, using approximately 1 tablespoon of each per layer. For a more defined swirl, gently run a skewer or knife through the layers.
  • Insert popsicle sticks and freeze for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. If your popsicle molds don't include sticks with holders, cover the molds with foil and insert sticks through the foil to keep them upright during freezing.
  • To unmold, run warm water over the outside of the mold for 15-30 seconds before gently pulling the popsicles out.

Notes

The beauty of these popsicles lies in their fresh berry flavor. While mulberries and strawberries create a perfect balance, blackberries or blueberries can substitute for mulberries if they're not in season.
For advance preparation, the fruit purees can be made up to 3 days ahead and refrigerated separately in airtight containers before assembling.
These popsicles can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 weeks if properly wrapped. For best results, unmold once frozen solid and store in individual freezer bags or wrapped in parchment paper to prevent freezer burn.
