Striped Ice Pops

By beltranm

Kids love helping to make these frozen treats almost as much as they love eating them. If you're making the pops for adults only, you can add Chambord, a raspberry-flavored liqueur.

Preparation

Step 1

1. Make the vanilla-yogurt mix: Stir together all ingredients.
2. Make the raspberry puree: Puree raspberries and sugar in a food processor. Strain through a fine sieve; discard solids. Stir in Chambord.
3. Make the ice pops: Pour a few tablespoons vanilla-yogurt mix, raspberry puree, or juice into each of ten 3-ounce ice-pop molds; freeze for 1 hour. Repeat once, alternating to create stripes. Cover molds, and insert sticks; freeze for 1 hour.
4. Remove tops of molds, and repeat pouring and freezing (for 1 hour between each layer) to create stripes until molds are full. Freeze until very firm, at least 3 hours or overnight. Remove ice pops from molds to serve.
