Frozen yogurt is a delightful alternative to traditional ice cream, offering a tangy and refreshing taste with a lower fat content. This three-colour version not only tantalizes your taste buds with vibrant flavours but also pleases the eyes with its colourful presentation. Creating a homemade frozen yogurt allows you to control the sweetness and ingredients, ensuring a healthier treat. By incorporating fruit purées, you introduce natural flavours and colours, making it an excellent choice for both adults and children.

Instructions

Prepare Fruit Purées

In a blender, purée the strawberries until smooth. Transfer to a bowl. Repeat with the mango and kiwi, using separate bowls for each fruit.

Pro tip: Strain the purées if you prefer a smoother texture without seeds.

Mix Yogurt Base

In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

Pro tip: Adjust the sweetness by adding more honey if desired.

Combine and Layer

Divide the yogurt mixture into three equal parts. Mix each part with one of the fruit purées.

Pro tip: Use clear glasses to layer the yogurt for a beautiful presentation.

Fill Molds

Using a spoon, layer the different fruit yogurts into popsicle molds, alternating colours to create a layered effect.

Pro tip: Tap the molds gently on the counter to remove air bubbles.

Freeze

Insert popsicle sticks into the molds and freeze for at least 6 hours, or until fully set.

Pro tip: For easier removal, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds.

Serve

Remove the frozen yogurt pops from the molds and serve immediately.

Pro tip: Garnish with fresh fruit for added flavour.
