Raspberry and Goat’s Milk Yogurt Popsicles
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.

Mmm. That is definitely a beautiful colour. Why do you add lemon juice, though? Wouldn’t it curdle the yogurt? It looks delicious though. (And you can definitely be a popsicle model. :D)
Great idea Joy, here it’s so hot I like to look at fresh things, just for a change. The colour is beautiful, now I’ll start looking for the molds, I think Ikea might have them.
May I ask your opinion about kitchen robots? I was starting to think to buy a Kitchenaid, or something in the line, are they really useful even for a strictly amateur baker like me?
Thanks for the help
Silvia: I am definitely an amateur baker, and I simply could not live without my KitchenAid stand mixer. Seriously, I’m not sure if I had ever truly lived before my stand mixer arrived at my doorstep as a wedding present. If you buy only one kitchen robot, make it a stand mixer. You won’t regret it. (Unless, of course, you don’t have a coffee maker. If that’s the case, add that to your list too.)
Might I suggest to get the KitchenAid mixer, but get a small to med size one. I received a Professional size one as a gift and it’s great because I can mix dough without it stalling, but I also can’t whip up less than 5 egg whites at a time unless I put it on super-fast (which is, quite frankly, kinda scary). I wish I had a smaller one. I find myself using my hand mixer and food processor far more frequently.
I bake a lot. Mostly yeast breads.
I don’t even own any sort of mixer, but sometimes I wish I did.
Silvia, I have to agree with the previous commenter about the KitchenAid. I love my KitchenAid. I use it for absolutely everything – cookies, bread, cake, muffins. It’s wonderful and it lives on my counter all the time, never in a cupboard. Definitely my favorite kitchen appliance. But then, I don’t drink coffee…
Ikea does have popsicle molds! (at least they did last season!) We love them, they’re cheap, and they work great! Also, I use my Kitchenaid all the time, and I’m very amateur ;)
I dont have the Kitchen Aid brand (although I wish I did) but have a similar one – a Sunbeam retro mixmaster. And I LOVE it. I use it so much more than I thought I would. And although it is alittle annoying trying to mix small amounts (eggwhites need to go into the small bowl when they are small and then get transferred into the big bowl when they get big), but apart from that, it is a match made in heaven. They make baking so much easier. And you feel like a domestic goddess while doing it.
Silvia, I have to agree with Shauna….I could not would not be an amateur baker who loves to bake without my Kitchenaid mixer. I got tired of waiting for the whole wedding thing so I just went out and bought one myself. :)
It’s so great because you can just walk away and get other things done…creaming butter for 5 minutes?? Great–in the meantime you can move on to chopping chocolate for those fantastic cookies you’re making. I recently took the plunge and made some lovely friends their wedding cake–I had to make many, many batches of swiss meringue buttercream which requires about 15-20 minutes per batch of whipping egg whites and hot sugar syrup (you whip until the mixture cools to room temperature). Thinking of doing that all by hand, well, it’s just not right is all…..
I have a Kitchenaid stand mixer, not the big boy, but “family sized,” and I hardly ever use it. Got a hand-held mixer for Christmas two years ago and I use it for everything. The stand mixer is just too big, I have to move it off the side counter and onto the main counter to use it, it’s heavy, takes time to clean, and a million other hardships.
My other favorite ‘bot is my VitaMix blender. Oh the smooth and creamy things it does to stewed tomatoes. I don’t even remove the skins or seeds and it makes the perfect base for spaghetti sauce, salsa, tomato soup, and a million other wonderfullnesses. Oops. Got off subject there. Get a Kitchenaid if your heart is set on it.

From one amateur baker to another–those things are one of my top 5 modern inventions Ever Ever. Seriously, they make it so easy to bake (and to clean as you bake). I bake much more often that I ever did with my hand mixer. I didn’t think I needed one, but having had one, I will never go back. Love, love, love it.
Thank you everybody, today I’ll go have a look in a store, usually it takes me some time to make up my mind, but my birthday is approaching…
XXX
looks great! I like pink food too and today I`m going to do pink fish ;P
dang! i love your blog! just found you. will be back :)
greetings from spain
p.s. popsicles in my house are “poopsicles”… my kids have a funny sense of humor…
Mmmmm, I would love to have one of those goat milk popsicles…….really hot here today!
LoveloveLOVE that pic of you modeling that adorable popsicle! I totally think you have a career in food modeling. You live in LA, right? You should definitely be able to get in on that action.
These are beautiful. So beautiful, I want to eat 5 of them.
Love it!!! And how cute these ice cream molds!!
These popsicles looks pretty darn good! I love raspberries!
Shouldn’t the popsicle molds be 99 cents? I think you should go back and demand your penny back.
Sorry. It’s early. I’m silly. Thy look fantastic and now I want popsicle molds before summer ends.
wow, that colour is delicious. i’d eat anything if it came in the shade of pink. you’ve made me crave raspberries. mmmmmmmmmm
You read my mind!
i’ve never tried goat’s milk yogurt but it looks delicious. and pink food is really cool! don’t let no one tell you otherwise!
I just ordered some Popsicle molds off of amazon!! (I had to spend a few extra bucks to get super saving shipping!) haha, anyway, as soon as they get here I have big plans for them – this recipe couldn’t have shown up at a better time! Thanks!
That looks sooo refreshing as I melt here in Hotlanta. I’m thinking weekend project with my daughters – yum!
Is your freezer really that empty?! That’s crazy talk.
Raspberry colored hair can be very pretty. Just dont go too with too much pink in it ;)
Yummolicious. Sadly – no desserts for me today. Canning 12 pints of sweet zucchini relish. Wish you lived nearby, I would make a trade for a popsicle if you were interested!
sweet zucchini relish!? holy cow.
Ooo, I’d love the recipe for sweet zucchini relish! Got two gi-gundo zukes in the garden right now.

Super easy and fun as well. My 2 daughters even helped me can :)
You can change up the spices if you’d like, but be sure to keep the amount of veggies/sugar/vinegar the same if you can the relish. If you change the acidity then the food could spoil and get you sick.
Good luck! :)
I love goats cheese but however much I try (rather desperately) to love goats yogurt, I just can’t. There’s something in the flavour that only seems to work for me in savoury mode. That being said and if there was a dollar store selling those popsicle moulds in my country (plus an abundance of raspberries) I would absolutely give these a try. I think its that fantastic popsicle modelling shot that’s got me convinced.
looks good for such hot weather :)
Please tell me that is a secondary freezer. It is way to empty and clean to be your only one. I need to clean out mine to make room for popsicles!
Well we’re with you on the pink food. Love. It’s pretty. And makes us happy. These popsicles look delicious…we need to find this goat’s milk yogurt asap.
making popsicles is on my summer to-do list – subsection: FOOD. i’m running out of time, so clearly this has to happen this weekend!
Way to be, Joy! Way to find the cutest popsicle molds in the west. These look tasty and since I love goat cheese and I’m super confident goat’s milk yogurt is a winner.
Those look fantastic. I may have to go on my own search for cheap popsicle molds now.
Totally random, but you have the cleanest freezer known to man. Mine’s so full I can hardly get the door to shut!
ha! don’t be fooled. i just moved.. that’s why my freezer is so dang clean.
Oh my goodness! You look like you were made to model pink popsicles! Get on that. You could make big bucks, or score gazillions of popsicles :)
Love the idea of the raspberry-yogurt combo! My type of popsicle for sure!
I’m definitely with you on the enjoyment of pink foods! These look delicious. I need to hunt down some popsicle molds…
Love, love the recipe, but I ADORE your use of the brown paper in your photos. You are a wonderful photographer…forget the modeling. PHOTOGRAPH those dang models Missy! ;-)
Oooh goat cheese in a popsicle sounds absolutely amazing! And I agree, I LOVE pink foods, too! Your molds are just lovely :)
Hey Joy,
That looks so creamy and nurturing to both the mind and soul! I’m trying this soon!
I would totally go ballistic if you did a “Back to school lunch/snacks” related post, with easy and yummy snacks to wrap up quickly before going to school.
I just hate waiting in those dreaded lines. I peer down the isle and notice a red creature writhing with boils and stringy bubbles.
That creature is would be our special Tuesday’s Lasagna Day.. Satisfactory isn’t it?
P.S. I’m pretty sure my lunch box would probably have all my friends drooling.
Yes I am evil like that..
YOU ROCK!

Those look great and ever since I went to a goat farm in Hawaii and tried their fresh goat’s cheese, well, dang, I’ve been more hooked than before.
goats in hawaii. love.
these are so pretty! i have a good friend whose mother makes and sells goat’s milk popsicles in austin…they’re amazing!
These look sooo good. I have popsicle molds hiding in my kitchen… somewhere. My kids would love if if I actually used them once in a while! BTW, I love the shot of your freezer. I have the same ice cream maker, in red! :)
You have the cutest little freezer! These popsicles looks great.. and so simple.. I could really go for one right now!
Love these Joy! Such a pretty pink color!
The 99c store is my favorite place to shop. Hey, these day’s it’s the only place to shop! LOL
I seriously love the beautiful color of these popsicles. Yum!
I want yogurt pops so bad! Have to go to the dollar store and scope the place ;)
I never would have thought to look at the dollar store for the molds – great idea!
Joy, why is your freezer so dang clean?? Please tell me you cleaned it up just for that photo. Please? It’ll make me feel better about my freezer. A bag of frozen corn spilled in mine, so everytime I open the door, another shriveled kernal rolls out. Problem is, I can’t find the source of the spill! And then, I have stacks upon stacks of frozen tomatoes and tomatillos from the garden. And when these fall out, let’s just say a trip to the ER might be necessary. Ouch!
I like your beautiful dessert, even if you do have a freakishly clean freezer :)
I didn’t know you could get popsicles molds at the 99 Cent Store – Gotta make a stop there today and give these a try before summer’s up! Gorgeous photos of the pink popsicles and you too, Joy. Thanks for sharing this awesome recipe!
For my fellow earth-friendly peeps out there, check out some fun BPA-free popsicle molds reviewed by a “green mom” here: http://www.naturemoms.com/blog/2010/03/31/bpa-free-popsicle-molds-for-summer/
My favorites are the Tovolo Star pops…So fun!
Mmmm… looks so tasty and EASY!! I wonder if I can make ‘em “low-sugar” for my toddler.

Pink food is definitely some of the best food; somehow it always manages to taste wonderful. These pops sound delicious!
I’ve never heard of goat’s milk yogurt. You’re making me step out of scaredycat city and use ingredients I’ve never touched before.
Love them! I got the same in my freezer but pinneapple. Anyway, I like your pink food and especially rasberries!
WOW… pink just makes me smile. Lovely. I have never tried Goat’s milk yogurt. This is going to have to be a must soon. Alas, I have to get a popsicle mold. Thanks for the inspiration.
Hey Joy! These look awesome!! I really want to try these right now, but I ate the last of my yogurt yesterday. Is it good that the store would make Martha Stewarts’ head explode?! The popsicle molds are super cute too! Can’t wait to see what you’ve baked up next! =)
These look so creamy and delicious! I love berries!
I keep seeing foodies make popsicle this summer, yet I somehow haven’t made some of my own yet. How can this be??? They look so tasty! I’ve never tried goat’s milk yogurt, but it sounds delish. Thanks for the post…I’m all about the cheap, too!
Seriously, you need this: http://www.zokuhome.com/
SERIOUSLY!
want.
