Happy Canada Day!
Can’t believe I have been in this country for 26 years! I am so thankful that my parents made the decision to move to Canada. I love this country, the friendly people, the weather (especially for us who are in the west coast), the amazing scenery. It’s a fantastic place for my kids too, so many activities they can enjoy. (Well, only now I am worried they won’t be able to afford to have their own house when they grow up….)
Our weather has been really nice and today is a great day for a picnic or BBQ. These little popsicles make a perfect cool treat and are so easy to make.
Makes about 12 popsicles
- 850 g vanilla flavoured Greek yoghurt
- 1 kg fresh raspberries
- 200 g granulated sugar (adjust to your own taste)
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- Prepare raspberries by heating them together with sugar and lemon juice in a non-stick pot over medium heat
- Turn heat down to low when liquid starts to bubble
- Gently mesh raspberries with a wooden spoon, cook until thickened
- Strain seeds, let cool
- To make popsicles, layer yoghurt and raspberry sauce alternately in small paper cups or popsicle molds, freezing in between layers (You can also swirl them together to make a marble effect). That’s it, enjoy!
Happy Canada Day Vicky! You’re right it’s an awesome country, I’m happy they adopted me π. Your popsicles look perfect for today, but also for all summer. Beautiful flavors and colors!

Sounds so refreshing and delicious! I keep eyeing the popsicle moulds and always end up not buying them (Because I’m cheap and I’m not sure I’d really use them. And did I mention I’m cheap? π ). It never occurred to me to use paper cups!

I am cheap too! That’s why I drew my own prop and used paper cups (from $ store! )😁
