Why You’ll Love Peach Yogurt Popsicles Recipe
These popsicles are simple to make with only a few wholesome ingredients. The Greek yogurt gives them a creamy texture while the peaches provide bright fruity flavor in every bite.
They are also naturally sweetened with honey, making them a lighter alternative to store-bought frozen desserts. The chunks of peaches throughout the popsicles add extra texture and freshness.
Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
1 pound frozen sliced peaches
2 cups plain Greek yogurt (5% fat)
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
Directions
Add half of the frozen peaches, Greek yogurt, honey, cornstarch, and cardamom to a food processor. Blend until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
Add the remaining peaches and pulse a few times until the peaches break down into chunky pieces. This gives the popsicles extra texture.
Spoon the mixture into popsicle molds. Cover the molds and insert the popsicle sticks.
Freeze for at least 5 hours, or until completely solid. To remove the popsicles easily, run the molds under warm water for a few seconds and gently slide them out.

Variations
Use fresh peaches instead of frozen peaches when they are in season. Simply peel and slice them before blending.
Swap peaches with mangoes, strawberries, or mixed berries for different fruity flavors.
Add a splash of vanilla extract for extra sweetness and warmth.
For a dairy-free version, replace the Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt or almond milk yogurt.
You can also stir in granola or chopped nuts before freezing for added texture.
Storage/Reheating
Store the popsicles in the freezer in their molds or transfer them to an airtight freezer-safe container once fully frozen.
Place parchment paper between popsicles if stacking to prevent sticking.
They are best enjoyed within 2 months for the freshest flavor and texture.
These popsicles do not require reheating. Let them sit at room temperature for 1–2 minutes before eating if they are very firm.
FAQs
Can I use fresh peaches instead of frozen?
Yes, fresh peaches work perfectly. Slice them and freeze briefly for a thicker texture if desired.
What does cornstarch do in the recipe?
Cornstarch helps improve the texture and reduces iciness in the popsicles.
Can I skip the cardamom?
Yes, cardamom is optional. It adds a subtle warm flavor but the popsicles are delicious without it.
Can I use flavored yogurt?
Yes, but plain Greek yogurt keeps the sweetness balanced and allows the peach flavor to stand out.
How long do the popsicles need to freeze?
Most popsicles need at least 5 hours, though overnight freezing works best for a firm texture.
How do I remove popsicles from the molds easily?
Run the molds under warm water for a few seconds and gently pull the popsicles out.
Can I make these popsicles without honey?
Yes, you can substitute maple syrup or another sweetener of your choice.
Are these popsicles healthy?
They are a lighter homemade treat made with fruit, yogurt, and natural sweetener.
Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?
Yes, though Greek yogurt creates a creamier and thicker popsicle.
Can I make mini popsicles for kids?
Absolutely. Mini molds work great and freeze slightly faster than full-sized popsicles.
Conclusion
Peach Yogurt Popsicles are a refreshing homemade dessert that combines creamy yogurt with sweet peaches for a cool and satisfying treat. Easy to prepare and naturally flavorful, they are perfect for summer afternoons, healthy snacks, or simple frozen desserts the whole family can enjoy.
