Servings and timing

Prep time: 10 minutes

Variations
Use honey Greek yogurt for a naturally sweeter version.
Replace shortcake with vanilla wafer cookies for a slightly crunchier texture.
Add a tablespoon of strawberry jam for a stronger berry flavor swirl.
Mix in a few blueberries or raspberries for a mixed-berry variation.
Use coconut milk in place of regular milk for a richer, dairy-enhanced flavor.
Storage/Reheating
Store the popsicles in their molds or place unmolded popsicles in an airtight freezer-safe container. They will stay fresh for up to 2 weeks. Keep them well-sealed to avoid ice crystal formation. No reheating is necessary—just thaw for a minute at room temperature before serving if they are too firm.
FAQs
How long do these popsicles take to freeze completely?
They typically need 4–5 hours to become fully solid.
Can I use fresh or frozen strawberries?
You can use either, but fresh strawberries give the best texture. If using frozen, thaw and drain them first.
Can I make these popsicles without shortcake?
Yes, simply omit the shortcake or replace it with another soft cookie.
Can I substitute the Greek yogurt with regular yogurt?
Greek yogurt provides a thicker, creamier texture, but regular yogurt can be used—it will just freeze slightly icier.
What type of milk works best in this recipe?
Any milk works, including dairy or plant-based options. Thicker milks like whole milk create a creamier texture.
Can I add sweetener to the mixture?
Yes. A teaspoon or two of honey, maple syrup, or sugar can be added if you prefer sweeter popsicles.
Will the shortcake pieces stay soft after freezing?
Yes, the yogurt mixture helps keep them pleasantly tender rather than hard.
Can I make this recipe lactose-free?
Yes. Use lactose-free yogurt and lactose-free milk.
Do I need a blender for this recipe?
No blender is required. Simply mix everything by hand.
How do I prevent popsicle sticks from tilting?
Insert sticks after the first hour of freezing, when the mixture is semi-firm and will hold them upright.
