I’ve been making these raspberry yogurt popsicles for my kids for years, and they never disappoint. They’re creamy, refreshing, and packed with real raspberry flavor.

The secret? We don’t just blend raspberries and call it a day.

Trust me, I’ve tried it. The result is a popsicle that’s… fine. But on a hot summer day, “fine” isn’t what we’re after.

The key to making these popsicles truly lick-worthy is simmering the raspberries first. Yes, it takes an extra 10 minutes and dirties one more dish. But that short simmer concentrates the berries’ natural sweetness and transforms them into a raspberry flavor bomb.

Here’s how we do it: toss the raspberries into a small saucepan with a little water and lemon juice and let them simmer for a few minutes. Then blend the mixture until smooth and pass it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the seeds. Mix the raspberry puree with creamy yogurt, spoon it into popsicle molds, and pop them into the freezer.

And then comes the hardest part of the entire recipe: waiting.

Once frozen, hand one to your little one, grab one for yourself, and enjoy a sweet, refreshing treat together. Because summer days are always better with a popsicle in hand.

#mymomhack – I usually leave these popsicles unsweetened for babies, but for toddlers, older kids, and adults, a small drizzle of honey or maple syrup can take them from “yum” to “can I have another one?”

  • Simmer a few cups of raspberries and lemon juice until tender.
  • Blend the raspberries, then press the puree through a fine-mesh colander. This removes any seeds.
  • In a medium bowl, swirl together the raspberry mixture and yogurt.
  • Spoon into small baby-friendly popsicle molds. Transfer to the freezer and let freeze for at least 5 hours.
  • Take a popsicle out and serve it to your baby or toddler.

Ingredients 

  • 2 cups raspberries, fresh or frozen
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup plain yogurt, whole milk, Greek yogurt, or plant-based

Instructions 

  • Place the raspberries, water, and lemon juice into a small saucepan and heat over medium-low heat for 10 minutes or until soft and broken down.
  • Let cool slightly, and then transfer the raspberries to a blender or food processor and puree for 1-2 minutes until smooth.
  • Pour the raspberry puree through a fine-mesh colander into a medium bowl to remove any seeds.
  • Gently stir the yogurt into the raspberry puree. You don't want it mixed all together, you can leave it so the ingredients are just swirled together.
  • Spoon the raspberry/yogurt mixture into small baby-sized popsicle molds. Place the molds in the freezer and freeze for at least 5 hours or overnight.
  • Take the popsicle out of the mold and hand it to your baby.

Notes

Age: 9+ months 
Extra Raspberry Mixture: depending on how big your popsicle molds are, you may have extra raspberry mixture. If you have extra, you can serve it to your baby as a puree. 
Sweeten for Toddler: You can sweeten the raspberry mixture with 2 tbsp of honey or maple syrup, if needed. 
Added Veggie: Feel free to add 1/4 cup grated carrot or zucchini to the raspberries as they simmer for a little veggie boost.
