    My childhood is filled with memories of scorching hot summer days by the pool or the lake, eating icy red, white and blue bomb pops, the melting colors dripping down my chin and all over the place. If the popsicles came from the ice cream truck, it was an especially lucky day. And no Fourth of July weekend was complete without them.

    Now those days are gone, but they're replaced by watching my own little ones slurp melting popsicles off sticks in the driveway or backyard. They LOVE popsicles, and they love helping me make them. As a mom, I enjoy knowing exactly what's going into them, and adding a little more nutrition to my kiddos' warm weather treats.

    Why You'll Love These Berry Cheesecake Greek Yogurt Popsicles

    These fruit and Greek yogurt-based popsicles taste like creamy cheesecake with layers of real strawberries and blueberries. They are even made healthy with just a hint of sugar and have added protein from the yogurt. Crumbled graham crackers add to the taste of real cheesecake with minimal effort. I love the red, white and blue layers for summer - they're perfect for the Fourth of July, Memorial Day, or just because!

    The Ingredients

    • Strawberries
    • Blueberries
    • Lemons
    • Sugar
    • Plain Greek yogurt
    • Milk - dairy or non-dairy both work
    • Graham Crackers - honey or cinnamon flavored

    You'll also need a popsicle mold. This is the mold I use. This silicone mold is cool, too!

    How To Make Red, White and Blue Berry Cheesecake Popsicles

    1. Mix the strawberries and blueberries with sugar and lemon juice in separate bowls. Let them sit for 10 minutes so that the berries get nice and juicy.
    2. Whisk the yogurt, milk, remaining lemon juice and remaining sugar until smooth. Crumble the graham crackers and gently stir them into the yogurt mixture.
    3. Layer into the popsicle molds! Pour the strawberries (juice and all!) into the bottom of the popsicle molds. Mine made 6 bigger popsicles.
    4. Add the yogurt on top of the strawberry mixture. Give them a little tap on the counter so that the yogurt mixture can sink down into any gaps between the strawberries.
    5. Add the blueberries on top of the yogurt layer.
    6. Add the sticks to the popsicle molds and freeze until firm - usually 4 to 6 hours.

    Tip: To help the popsicles slide out of the molds more easily, leave them at room temperature for a few minutes, or run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds to loosen them up.

    Substitutions and Recipe Variations

    • Use any kind of berry you'd like in place of the strawberries or blueberries.
    • You can substitute vanilla Greek yogurt for more sweetness.
    • If you don't have graham crackers, vanilla wafer cookies work, too.
    • If you don't care about the layers, feel free to mix the berries in with the yogurt mixture before pouring into the molds.

    • Cuisine: American

    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 1 cup blueberries, roughly chopped
    • 1 cup strawberries, hulled and chopped
    • 4 tbsp granulated sugar, divided
    • Juice of 2 large lemons, divided
    • ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt
    • ¼ cup milk of choice
    • 1 graham cracker sheet (2 squares), crumbled into large pieces

    Instructions

    3. Pour strawberries into the bottom of popsicle molds. Add cheesecake mixture, leaving room at the top for blueberries. Lightly tap molds on the counter to push the filling down into the strawberries. Add blueberries last.

    5. Once frozen, leave the popsicles out at room temperature for a few minutes before removing from molds, or run molds under warm water for a few seconds to gently loosen from molds.

      Kaleigh this is one of the best healthy makeovers I've seen! I'd so much rather have one of these bomb pops than the original!
