Ingredients:
- 3 ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and diced
- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup Greek yogurt or heavy cream
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional, for brightness)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Peaches: In a blender or food processor, blend the diced peaches, honey, and lemon juice (if using) until smooth. Taste and adjust the sweetness if needed.
- Add the Cream or Yogurt: In a bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt or heavy cream with the vanilla extract until smooth. You can leave the cream plain or lightly sweeten it with an extra drizzle of honey, depending on your preference.
- Layer the Popsicles: Pour the peach puree and the yogurt or cream mixture alternately into popsicle molds, creating layers for a swirled effect, or mix them together for a more uniform flavor.
- Freeze: Insert popsicle sticks into the molds and freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until fully set.
- Serve: Once frozen, run the popsicle molds under warm water for a few seconds to release the popsicles, then enjoy.
