1 heaping cup raspberries
1 Cup blueberries
1 Cup vanilla flavored Greek yogurt
1.In a food processor or blender, puree raspberries & blueberries (separatly) until smooth. Set aside. If your blueberries are too purple, add a little blue food coloring.
2.Put yogurt and berry purees in small measuring cups with pourable spouts. Use water to thin them so they pour easily. Keep these cups chilled in the refrigerator when you are not suing them.
3. To layer your pops, start by pouring a little of the blueberry in the bottom of each mold. Put the mold in the freezer and freeze until firm, at least an hour, or more.
4.Layer yogurt into each mold for the next stripe. At this point, cover the top of the mold with foil and insert the popsicle sticks, making sure they are inserted into the frozen layer a little to stand upright.
5.Put back into freezer until solid.
6. Remove the foil at this stage, you won’t need it since the stick is in and you need to layer. Next comes your raspberry stripe, and so on until the molds are filled. Make sure to freeze each stripe until solid before adding the next.
7. Once filled and completely frozen solid, you can un-mold your pops. Fill the sink with hot water. Immerse the mold just up to the lip, being careful not to let any water splash onto the top. Hold it for 30 seconds, remove, and try to pull the pops out. If they don;t slide out, immerse again for just a few seconds. I recommend keeping the popsicles in the mold until you are ready to serve or if you are working in batches, wrap each pop quickly in waxed paper or put into a baggie and put back in freezer until ready to serve!
