Surprise Yogurt Pops Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the acai, banana, mango, pineapple and coconut water in a blender. Puree until smooth.
• Layer the fruit puree and yogurt in 10 ice pop molds, starting and ending with the puree (2 or 3 layers of each). Swirl slightly with a skewer. Add sticks and freeze until solid, at least 6 hours.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the granola on a large plate. Fill a short wide glass with about 2 inches of yogurt (about 1/2 cup). Remove the pops from the molds and lay on the prepared pan (return to the freezer if they begin to soften). Working quickly, dip each pop in the yogurt at an angle, then dip in the granola and return to the pan. Freeze until the yogurt hardens, about 1 hour.

Steps:

• First make the cake. Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Grease and line the base of a 20cm sandwich tin. Place the butter, sugar and vanilla extract into a bowl and beat well to a creamy consistency. Slowly beat in the eggs, one by one, then fold in the flour and mix well. Tip into the cake tin and bake for about 20 mins until risen and golden brown. Set aside to cool completely.
• While the cakes are cooling, make the buttercream. In a large bowl or the bowl of stand mixer, beat the butter and icing sugar together until smooth, add the vanilla extract and milk and beat again. Once the cake is cooled, crumble into large crumbs. Add the butter cream and stir together. Take chunks of the cake mixture and roll into balls, transferring each ball to a lined tray or plate, push a lollypop stick into each, then put into the fridge for an hour to set.
• Melt the white chocolate in the microwave, blasting it and stirring at 10 seconds intervals until smooth. Tip the sprinkles into another bowl. Take each of the chilled cake pops and dip into the white chocolate, allowing it to drip off a little over the bowl. Dip into the sprinkles, then stand upright in a mug to dry at room temperature for an hour, or in the fridge for 30 mins.

Steps:

• Open the yogurt containers. Spoon out all but 2 tablespoons of the yogurt from each container and place it in a medium bowl. Place 1 teaspoon granola, 5 blueberries, 1 halved raspberry and 1 halved blackberry in each container. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of yogurt on top of the berries. Repeat until you have a total of 3 layers each of yogurt, berries and granola in each container.
• Place an ice pop stick in the center of each yogurt container. Freeze until solid, at least 4 hours and preferably overnight.
• When ready to serve, remove a yogurt container from the freezer, dip the base into warm water and let sit for 15 to 20 seconds. Using the stick, gently pull and twist the yogurt pop out of the container. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In blender, place all ingredients. Cover; blend until smooth.
• Divide mixture among 6 (5-oz) paper cups. Cover cups with foil; insert craft stick into center of each pop. (Or fill ice pop molds according to manufacturer's directions.) Freeze about 6 hours or until frozen.

Steps:

• Have ready a 10-pop (1/3 cup each) popsicle mold (or other similar size). In a small saucepan, combine the cream, sugar and salt over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring, just until the sugar has dissolved, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and let cool completely.
• Add the yogurt to cream mixture and stir thoroughly to combine. In a small bowl, stir together the jam and lemon juice.
• Using a large spoon, distribute the mixtures evenly among the molds, alternating between the yogurt mixture, the jam mixture, and the graham crackers. Use a butter knife or a skewer to swirl everything, but be careful to avoid overmixing. Cover and freeze for 1 hour.
• After 1 hour, add the popsicle sticks and continue to freeze until solid, at least 8 hours.
• To unmold, briefly dip the mold in hot water a few times just until the pops can be pulled out. Take care not to melt the pops.

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. Peel the bananas and cut them in 1/2 crosswise. Insert a popsicle stick into the cut end of each banana 1/2.
• Put the yogurt and the toppings into shallow bowls. Dip the bananas first in the yogurt and then into toppings as desired. Set the bananas on the baking sheet and freeze for 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Mix together the yogurt, granola and maple syrup in a large bowl. Pour the mixture into ice-pop molds and add a stick to each. Freeze until the pops are completely frozen, at least 5 hours.

Steps:

• Spoon 4 ounces of yogurt into each of 2 6-ounce paper cups.
• Press 2 slices of banana into each cup.
• Insert a wooden popsicle stick into each cup and freeze overnight or for 4-6 hours until solid.
• To serve, wiggle the frozen yogurt popsicle out of the cup or peel off the cup if it's easier.
• Note: wooden popsicle sticks are available at most craft stores.
• Children 2-4 should be supervised when eating these pops due to the wooden sticks.
