I like pink food.
There. I said it.
Also. I’d like to know if Kraft needs a pink popsicle model. Cause… dang. I’d really like to get in on some popsicle model dollars. Actually. Truth be told. I’d probably work for free popsicles. Let’s make this happen .
We’ve got fresh raspberries, lemon and a touch of sugar.
Raspberries cooked down just a bit… that’s a gorgeous color.
Would I look reasonable with raspberry colored hair?
Goat’s Milk Yogurt. Such a dream come true. It’s slightly tangy, has an alluring sweetness. It brings a lovely summery character to these popsicles.
Think: new summer love. Like… brand new, stupid hot, summertime love. These popsicles taste like that.
No? Not getting it.
Ok…
Think: fresh, sweet raspberries atop bright pillows of goat cheese on a lazy, late summer afternoon. Better? Delicious.
Where did I find my popsicle molds? A very fancy, very exclusive place called The 99cent Store. Everything is a dollar. Everything is everywhere. This place would make Martha Stewart’s head explode.
Find your popsicle molds at the dollar store, in the summery department of your drug store or online somewhere… Amazon perhaps?
Molds come in all different sizes and shapes. I found these molds endearing, clever and most importantly… cheap.
Raspberry and Goat’s Milk Yogurt Popsicles
adapted from thekitchn
makes a dozen small popsicles, but it depends on the size of your popsicle molds
2 cups fresh raspberries (or thawed and drained frozen raspberries)
1/4 cup sugar
2 Tablespoons water
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 cup goat’s milk yogurt
Bring the raspberries, water and sugar to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Simmer for three to five minutes until the fruit is soft and slightly broken up. Add the lemon juice and pour into a medium bowl. Place in the fridge to cool to chill.
Once cold, add the yogurt to the raspberry mixture and stir to combine. Pour into the molds and freeze for at least eight hours, or overnight.
To unmold the popsicles, run the mold under warm water to loosen the popsicles.

Because my husband loves me *and because my husband knows how to keep me happy* I got a matte gray kitchenaid stand mixer for Christmas, and I absolutely LOVE it! Oh, and I totally love this idea of a healthy popsicle. I’m going to have to try this–it looks incredibly easy, too. Now for finding the goat’s milk yogurt….
I would never have thought to use goat’s milk yogurt… ever….
But I’m intrigued by your gorgeous popsicles and I think I might try!
You have the cutest popsicle molds ever! My dollar-store molds are blah… I gotta hit up your dollar-store! (and yes, you are a fab popsicle model, but I’m thinking that if your hair matched the popsicle Kraft might object)
Wow. That picture of you, Joy. I mean, I realize that nobody’s face is symmetrical (and heaven knows MINE is NOT!) but that popsicle is placed to make your face look like two halves of completely different people! UBER-COOL! You’re “of two minds” about things a lot, anyway, right?
Sorry. Didn’t mean to go off. But isn’t that a fascinating picture? :D
my eyes are crooked. it’s weird.
If you are milking your own goat, how much time will this recipe take?
Haha. Thanks for the recipe.
Milking time (me) 2 minutes, making the milk into yogurt – 12 hours, so less than 15 hours Including freeze time ; >)
Love my goats! Fresh milk is great.
Thanks for the idea – tried something similar last summer for the kiddos – didn’t work out so great, but now I see where I goofed.
i love the size of your popsicle molds… i got mine at the grocery store and they are a bit tiny! these yogurt pops look yumE
This recipe sounds great. Have you seen the Zoku Posicle Maker? It’s sooooo cool.
2 of 3 of my husband’s favorite things, raspberries and yogurt (the 3rd is ME!) I will make these for him and call them Joy’s Raspberry Goat Pops ahahahaaa!! :D
*love*
truly, I love you!!… mean it!!
Look amazing. I would never have thought of using goat milk yoghurt. I don’t even think it’s available here!
HOW in the world do you keep your freezer so neat and tidy?? I’m impressed Joy. My freezer looks like my closet, where everything is packed to the brim. Trying to find room for my popsicle rack? G’luck. :) On my list of things to do this weekend–rearrange my freezer so I can make these popsicles!
I want to make star shaped popsicles in those silicone ice cube trays from the Christmas Tree Shop/Ikea. Not nearly as cheap, but how cute would those be in pink? They could be goat milk mochi. Also, when in doubt or in lack of popsicle molds/adorable silicone trays, use dixie cups and plastic spoons. Just sayin.
I got my Popsicle molds in Ikea cheap and very useful!
We eat goats yogurt all the time, will for sure have to give this a try, these look yummy :)
You’ve furthered my desire to buy a mold and eat popsicles for breakfast lunch and dinner. Yumm…..
So, after reading this, I did indeed high-tail it to the dollar store and buy a popsicle mold. And make strawberry lemonade popsicles. And muse about my lifestyle.

Thanks for the inspiration :)
Must make another comment marvelling at the state of your freezer … mine hasn’t had that kind of space in it since the day I brought it home. Heck, not even then!!!
The popsicles look yummy and we have a dollar store nearby that I must visit soon. :)
I made the popsicles with Greek vanilla yogurt as goat yogurt was unavailable in my local market. These are fabulous and my 3 daughters loved them. Thank You. This is a recipe and a dessert they will remember long after I am gone. Love your posts! John
Love this recipe. I had seen goats milk yogurt at my local farmers market but didn’t know what else to do with it besides make smoothies. This is a great idea! I can’t find Popsicle molds (cause it’s the end of the summer) so I used shot glasses and Popsicle sticks. Worked great! I also used honey instead of sugar. Mmmmm
Hiya – I NEVER comment and I read a lot of food sites. However, LOVE this recipe and will definitely try. Wish I’d come across it in early summer (saving it for next) when I was thinking about making a low-cal ice cream or popsicle. I tend to be very frugal (necessity) and get ideas based on whats on hand. So back in June I mixed a very teeny taster of lime juice, pineapple juice, skim milk and froze it … yum. I then tried banana, brown sugar, and skim milk … great as a drink, yuck as a popsicle.
Thank you for the recipe and advise on where to buy molds (love little finds at the 99cent store). Also want to compliment you on your site, recipes, and your writing. It’s always a good read when someone writes like they speak and has cool ‘n wacky humor! Lastly, everyone’s eyes are a bit crooked – but yours are gorgeous too.
And this would be why I never comment on sites … I’ve written waaay to much. Believe it or not, I don’t talk a whole lot. Okay … I’m done
… almost.
Good luck with your blog, event business, and baking!
you’re so right, the colour is gorgeous! As I was putting it into the fridge I said “oh wow.. she was right!” and my mum was like “..who?” :D anyhoo
thank yor for the recipe!
Inspired by your pink popsicles, a post on my blog:
http://www.sugarandink.net/2011/07/popsicles-and-summer-heat.html
Let me know what you think :-)
This morning I stumbled on your site and liked it. Now, as I’m waiting for my baked peppers to be ready for pealing, I stumbled a little more and you surprised me again. I’m definitely doing these popsicles tomorrow. But, I’ll try them with sheep yoghurt, it’s much sweeter than goat. I’ll post the pics for sure.
