DIY Diary: Frozen Yogurt Pops

Here in New York, we're bracing for a two-day heat wave, and I, for one, am not looking forward to it.  I've lived on the east coast for my entire life so you'd think I'd be used to the heat and humidity that accompanies summer in NY, but I'm a wimp when it comes to hot weather, especially the steamy kind.


But I'm also a have lemons, make lemonade kind of gal so I thought some home-made frozen yogurt pops would help us survive the blast of heat headed our way tomorrow. What I love about DIYs is the simplicity of ingredients.  For these frozen yogurt pops, all you need are:  fresh strawberries, plain yogurt, and honey or brown sugar syrup.



Take a cup of strawberries and slice some, quarter some.  Puree the sliced strawberries in a blender or food processor and set aside in a bowl.



In another large bowl, add one cup of plain yogurt and two tablespoons of honey or brown sugar syrup.


Add one heaping tablespoon of strawberry puree and blend lightly.




In a frozen pop mold, layer some strawberry puree, yogurt, quartered strawberries, and honey or brown sugar syrup.



Pop the tops on and freeze for at least four hours before eating.







Enjoy!!

    Well what do you know? Us Kansans are also preparing for our very own heat wave! Those popsicles look so, so yummy! Isn't frozen yoghurt just the best? My mother and I make it almost every week in a different flavor.
