These fresh red, white, and blue layered popsicles combine strawberries, coconut yogurt, and blueberries for a quick, festive, and refreshing summer treat perfect for gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced (or frozen, thawed)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (optional, to sweeten)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup plain coconut yogurt (full-fat recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (adjust sweetness to taste)
  • 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries (can use frozen, thawed)
  • 2 tablespoons water or freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey or agave (optional)
  • Optional: fresh mint leaves for garnish or flavor layering
  • Popsicle molds with sticks

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Red Layer: Place strawberries, honey, and lemon juice in a blender. Puree until smooth but still slightly textured (about 30 seconds). Pour about one-third of this mixture into the popsicle molds, filling them up to about one-third full. Tap the molds gently on the counter to remove air bubbles. Freeze for 30-40 minutes until the layer is firm but not rock solid.
  2. Make the White Layer: In a bowl, stir together coconut yogurt, vanilla extract, and maple syrup until smooth. Spoon or carefully pour the yogurt mixture over the frozen red layer, filling the molds to two-thirds full. Freeze again for about 30 minutes until set. Spread the yogurt layer gently to avoid breaking the red layer underneath.
  3. Create the Blue Layer: Blend blueberries with water and honey until smooth. Pour this final layer over the white, filling the molds to the top. Insert popsicle sticks if your molds don’t have built-in slots. Return to the freezer for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
  4. Unmold and Serve: To remove, briefly run warm water over the outside of the molds (just a few seconds) to loosen. Pull gently on the sticks, and the popsicles should slide out cleanly, showcasing the red, white, and blue layers.

Notes

Freeze each layer until firm before adding the next to prevent mixing. Use slightly thickened purees or add chia seeds to thicken watery fruit mixtures. Work quickly and keep molds in the freezer while prepping. To unmold, briefly run warm water over molds. Coconut yogurt adds a creamy texture; Greek yogurt can be used for a tangier white layer. Variations include substituting fruits and adding fresh mint or spices.
