Strawberry Yogurt Popsicles Ingredients
Yogurt – You can make your own yogurt, like my raw milk yogurt in the instant pot recipe. If you are using store bought, I prefer full-fat Greek yogurt. Either plain or vanilla works great.
Honey – I prefer the taste of honey in these, but maple syrup works great, too.
Strawberry Jam – Jam is actually very simple to make at home! If you have some fresh strawberries or even frozen strawberries on hand, try my homemade strawberry jam recipe sweetened with honey. Again, you can also just pick up your favorite strawberry jam at the grocery store.
A full ingredient list with exact amounts can be found in the recipe card below.
Recipe Modifications and Variations
Homemade strawberry popsicles are just one of many popsicle variations.
You can honestly use whatever fresh fruit you have on hand to make jam and then use in these popsicles. Summer fruits, such as blueberries, blackberries, peaches, and raspberries are all great options.
Here are a couple other homemade popsicle ideas:
- Kiwi Lime Popsicles – Another delicious yogurt-based popsicle.
- Orange Creamsicle Popsicles – This recipe does not use yogurt, but instead uses heavy cream and milk.
How To Make Strawberry Yogurt Popsicles
Step 1: In a bowl, mix honey, yogurt, and vanilla extract together well. If the yogurt is too thick, then add a touch of milk to thin it out a bit. (Learn how to make homemade vanilla extract here.)
Step 2: Mix strawberry jam with water in a small bowl and set aside.
Step 3: To a popsicle mold, pour in some of the yogurt mixture. I find this easiest (and far less messy) when using a funnel.
Step 4: Add a layer of jam, pressing it down slightly with a butter knife or spoon.
Step 5: Follow with another layer of yogurt, then jam, until the molds are almost filled, ending with the yogurt layer. Leave a little bit of headspace to allow for the popsicle stick to be inserted without the ingredients overflowing.
Step 6: Add popsicle sticks and freeze for at least 3 hours or until completely frozen.
Tips
- To help the popsicles freeze well, you may need to thin out the layers by adding a little milk to the yogurt and water to the jam.
- If you are using store-bought yogurt, make sure to check the ingredient label. If there is added sugar, you may want to reduce the amount of honey you add or even skip it altogether.
- A funnel is super helpful to get the ingredients into the molds without making a huge mess.
- I use a popsicle mold to make these, but you could also use small paper cups if you do not have one.
Recipe FAQ’s
The best way to ensure a creamy texture is by using full-fat yogurt. Use whole milk instead of water to thin out your yogurt if needed as well to avoid ending up with an icy consistency. You can also blend up your jam into a strawberry puree. This may help to create creamy popsicles as well.
I have found a minimum of 3 hours to work well.
I prefer a full-fat Greek yogurt. The high fat content helps the freezing process. Greek yogurt also has a lot of protein, making this a perfect healthy snack. Just be sure to check the ingredient label on your yogurt, and avoid any with a bunch of added sugar.

Perfect summer treat! Thank you!
Hi, Laura! What’s the best way to serve these at an event without letting them melt?
I pull them out right before serving! You can also lay them over ice.
Quick question… I was on your page reading about making milk kefir which directed me to this page to make these popsicles with the kefir.
As I got to reading this article though, I noticed you said you did not recommend the consistency of kefir for this recipe. So my question is, can I make these popsicles with kefir or not?
Thank you in advance!
I think they will be fine if you do not expect to make the layers and just mix the jam with the kefir.
I made these – they are delicious
Wonderful to hear.
