We're lucky to have a recipe to share from Christine's new cookbook. These firecracker pops may look complicated to make but rest assured, this process is a cinch! With no need for food coloring, you'll still achieve the bright colors from raspberries and blueberries. They're festive, colorful and delicious!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup frozen blueberries
- 2 frozen bananas
- 1 cup plain whole milk yogurt, divided
- 1/2 cup almond milk, homemade or store-bought
- 1 tablespoon honey, divided
- 1 cup frozen raspberries
Steps:
1. In a blender, combine the frozen blueberries, 1 banana, 1/2 cup of the yogurt, 1/4 cup of the almond milk, and 1/2 tablespoon of the honey and blend until smooth. Pour into a pitcher or glass measuring cup and give your blender a quick rinse.
2. Combine the frozen raspberries and the remaining banana, 1/2 cup yogurt, 1/4 cup almond milk, and 1/2 tablespoon honey in the rinsed-out blender and blend until smooth.
3. Pour a small amount of the raspberry mixture into your pop molds, followed by a small amount of the blueberry mixture and alternate until the molds are full. For the most part the stripes will hold their place, as the mixture will be thick (work quickly before they have a chance to thaw and become runny); however, if you want perfect stripes, you can stick the molds in the freezer for 30 minutes after every stripe to set the color before adding the next stripe. Insert sticks and freeze for at least 3 to 4 hours, until hardened.
