These super cute American flag popsicles are perfect for the 4th of July! They are delicious and really easy to make; all you need is yogurt, blueberries, and strawberries!
Grab three cups or bowls and mix each ingredient in its own container.
For the blue stripe: blend a handful of blueberries until mushy, adding a small amount of water if needed. Add sugar to taste, and you can also add a little blue food coloring if your blueberries are too purple.
For the red stripes: blend a handful of strawberries until mushy, adding a small amount of water if needed. Add sugar to taste if necessary.
For the white stripes: blend a scoop of yogurt with a small amount of water, and add sugar if needed.
Pour about an inch of the blue mixture into the bottom of each popsicle mold.
Cover the popsicle molds and place them in the freezer until the blueberry mixture is frozen.
Pull the molds out of the freezer and add a thin stripe of the white yogurt using the turkey baster. Wipe any drips off of the insides of the molds.
Add popsicle sticks, pressing them slightly into the blue layer, cover the molds, and freeze until the white layer is frozen.
Pull the molds out of the freezer and add a thin stripe of the red mixture, wipe away any drips, cover, and freeze.
Continue alternating white and red stripes until the molds are completely full.
When you're ready to eat the popsicles, run the molds under room temperature water to help loosen the popsicles, slide them out of the molds, and enjoy!
Notes
It takes a little while to assemble these popsicles because each layer has to completely freeze before you can add the next layer. Store any mixtures you're not using in the fridge to keep them cold while you work.I find it easiest to use a turkey baster to add the berries and yogurt mixtures to the popsicle molds—that way you can get the mixture down into the bottom of the molds without accidentally dripping any on the sides. If you do drip a bit, just wipe it up with a paper towel so it doesn't freeze there and mess up your stripes.You always want to cover your popsicles when freezing them. My molds came with a lid, but you can also use cling wrap or wax paper. This will keep them from soaking up the tastes and scents floating around in the air in your freezer while they freeze!
