What do you need for making lemon pops?
Popsicle molds (the Amazon link opens in a new tab).
Otherwise, just 3 ingredients: Creamy Greek-style lemon yogurt – I use low-fat, lemon, and honey.
Optional: a few drops of yellow food coloring. The pops taste the same (great!) with or without the color.
Alternative sweeteners, everything to taste: Regular sugar, golden syrup, agave syrup, stevia, erythritol, or xylitol.
Tips
- You can use plain Greek yogurt to make the lemon popsicles; however, I prefer creamy lemon yogurt; it adds more flavor.
- Use as much honey as needed; it also depends on the sort of yogurt you are using. If the yogurt is plain, you will need more honey; if the yogurt is sweetened, you will need less honey.
- Make the lemon pops at least one day before you want to serve them. It is best if they have time to freeze overnight.
- Run the molds under warm water to release the lemon popsicles from the molds.
Popsicle variations
- Use other dairy products instead of yogurt. For a richer version, try sour cream or smetana.
- Vegan alternative: use vegan yogurt and vegan sweetener.
- Make lime popsicles using the juice of 2-3 limes.
- Add some Limoncello or lemon vodka for boozy popsicles to taste (not too much).
