Raspberry and vanilla icy poles are a delightful and refreshing treat, perfect for hot summer days or whenever you crave a healthy, sweet snack. These icy poles combine the tanginess of raspberries with the creamy richness of Greek yogurt, all sweetened with a touch of sugar and enhanced by fragrant vanilla extract. They are simple to make and offer a delicious way to enjoy a frozen dessert without the guilt.
Instructions:
- Wash the raspberries thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- In a mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt, sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- Gently fold the raspberries into the yogurt mixture. If you prefer a uniform color and flavor, lightly mash some of the raspberries with a fork before folding them in. If you prefer a more texture-rich treat, keep the raspberries whole.
- Evenly spoon the mixture into icy pole molds. Leave a small gap at the top to allow for expansion as the mixture freezes.
- If your icy pole mold has individual slots for sticks, insert them now. If not, cover the mold with its lid and insert the sticks through the designated slots.
- Place the molds in the freezer and let the icy poles freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until they are fully hardened.
- Once frozen, remove the molds from the freezer. To easily release the icy poles, run the outside of the molds under warm water for a few seconds until the icy poles loosen.
- Enjoy your refreshing Raspberry and Vanilla Icy Poles immediately! Store any extras in the freezer.
Tips:
- Use fresh or frozen raspberries for convenience and availability.
- For a creamier texture, consider blending the raspberries with the yogurt and sugar mixture.
- Adjust the sugar to taste; you can use less or substitute with honey or another sweetener if preferred.
- To ensure even freezing, occasionally stir the mixture while it is setting in the molds.
- If you don't have icy pole molds, use small cups or ice cube trays with wooden sticks as an alternative.
- For an added twist, you can mix in small pieces of fresh fruit, chocolate chips, or granola before freezing.
