These homemade 4 Ingredient Creamy Fruit Popsicles are the healthier dessert we all need to have stashed away in our freezers this summer. Made simply with just four ingredients…creamy Greek yogurt, fruit jam, milk (of any variety, but I love coconut milk), and vanilla. It does not get any simpler. They’re extra creamy, so fruity, and so very delicious. These pops are everyone’s favorite…from kids to adults. The perfect summer snack or dessert to keep stocked in the freezer for the hottest days of the year.
Fruit popsicles! I feel like these are something new for me. I’ve never really ventured much into the frozen fruit dessert area. I’ve mostly stuck to either frozen chocolate treats or baked berry recipes when it comes to summertime desserts. But this year I am really excited to explore recipes I’ve never shared before.
I’ve said this before, but when it comes to creating new recipes I get bored very, very easily. If I feel like I’m creating something too similar to a recipe I’ve already shared I quickly lose interest. This summer I’m thinking about summer recipes I haven’t really touched upon. Frozen fruit desserts are definitely something I don’t have a lot of here on HBH.
Actually ice cream in general is really something I haven’t explored a ton. So expect lots of frozen treats this summer!
But back to these popsicles…don’t you just love their fun colors…and their creaminess!
When it comes to fruit popsicles, the icy ones are great. But I honestly see those as more of a slushy type dessert, good for a crazy hot day at the pool or on the lake. In terms of real-deal summer desserts, I want something frozen that’s very, very creamy. If it’s not going to be ice cream, it’s going to be the next closest thing.
Enter these popsicles, shockingly they have just four ingredients. They took me forever to create, but I’m so glad I did…they ended up being SO GOOD.
And the best part? They are so simple. You need absolutely nothing fancy to make these. Just a mixing bowl, yogurt, fruit jam, milk, and vanilla – that’s it.
Here are the details
As I mentioned, I didn’t want these fruit popsicles to be icy, I wanted them creamy. So instead of using just fruit, I used a mix of plain Greek yogurt and fruit jam. The yogurt and jam are really the secret ingredients here.
The yogurt obviously makes things creamy as can be. The jam adds just the right amount of sweetness while also providing ample berry flavor – and without adding any liquid like fresh fruit would.
And what I really love? Since you don’t have to blend the berries up, you don’t even have to dirty a blender to make these popsicles. Just one bowl.
Simply mix the yogurt with whatever fruit jam or jams you love most. I made four flavors, blackberry, raspberry, strawberry, and mango peach. You can mix and match or just stick to one fruit flavor.
Add milk or coconut milk to thin the mix out (I use coconut milk or heavy cream for an extra creamy popsicle…so delicious and makes them almost ice cream-like). Then add a splash of vanilla for great flavor.
Now we freeze
Divide the creamy fruit mixture between popsicle molds. I used these molds, but also used some paper Dixie Cups too. Actually, the Dixie Cups worked even better. Simply rip the cups off.
If you don’t have popsicle molds or Dixie Cups here’s another option. Spread the mix out into a square brownie pan, freeze, then cut into rectangles, insert popsicle sticks and freeze again.
I will say, if you plan on having an ice cream-filled summer, you should probably invest in some molds or Dixie cups…they’re fun!
So, why are these better than store-bought?
There are so many reasons…
Most importantly, these pops are actually creamy because they use real yogurt. They also use real fruit…well jam with real fruit, be sure to find a great high-quality jam. I LOVE The Little Market jams), and they’re made so much healthier without added sugar.
It’s summer, so we all could use a frozen creamy dessert to help get us through the mid-week slump. Plus, you need only 15 minutes to make these and there’s a good chance you have everything in your kitchen right now. These pops are perfect to keep in the freezer for an afternoon snack or late-night dessert.
It’s the first week of summer, so let’s do it up right!

Creamy Fruit Popsicles
Servings: 6 popsicles
Calories Per Serving: 89 kcal
Nutritional information is only an estimate. The accuracy of the nutritional information for any recipe on this site is not guaranteed.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup fruit jam (I use blackberry, strawberry, raspberry, and mango peach)
- 1/4 cup whole milk or canned coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- 1. In a bowl, stir together the yogurt, fruit jam, milk, and vanilla. Add additional milk, if needed to thin the mix if it feels too creamy. 2. Evenly divide the mix between 6-8 Dixie cups or popsicles molds. I recommend Dixie cups over molds as the pops can be hard to remove from molds. Insert popsicle sticks. Freeze until firm, 4 hours or overnight. To make layered popsicles, pour 2-3 flavors into each mold. Keep in the freezer until ready to eat!
Notes
To Remove the Pops from the Molds: To remove the popsicles run the mold under hot water for 10 seconds and then pull the popsicles out of the molds.
If you Don’t Have a Popsicle Mold: just use paper dixie cups!
What percent fat Greek yogurt do you use?
Hey Randi,
I used full fat greek yogurt. I hope you love this recipe, please let me know if you give it a try! xTieghan
This looks like a great treat to make for my visiting granddaughters this summer!
Thanks Amelia, I hope you love the recipe:) xTieghan
They tasted delicious before I put them in the mold and I was excitedly waiting for them to freeze. I put them in the freezer of my over flow or spare fridge.They were the only thing in there. Four hours later we’re still semi soft, popsicle stick just pulls out. I left them overnight in my stand up freezer and still the same. Wondering what went wrong ?
Hey Katherine,
Sorry to hear this. Was there anything you adjusted in the recipe? Sorry did you put these in the freezer or fridge? There’s really no reason for these not to freeze. Let me know how I can help! xTieghan
Too much vanilla extract…most contain alcohol, alcohol does not freeze… maybe?
Hey Curly,
That would not be the issue. The amount of alcohol that vanilla MIGHT contain is so so small that it would not affect the freezing of these:) xTieghan
Could you make these dairy free with a plant based yogurt and milk ? If so do you recommend a certain kind, almond? Oat?
Hey Lanie,
Yes, any of those will work just fine for you. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan

The cone shaped Popsicles are so beautiful! If those were paper cups, how did you get them to stand up for freezing? TIA
Hey Suzanna,
I just put them into regular cups until they were frozen. I hope you love the recipe! xTieghan
Can you use dairy free yogurt instead? Will it still be as creamy you think ot will it be more like a popsicle?
Ps. Love all of your recipes, you are my forever go too!
Hey Em,
Yes, dairy free yogurt will also work well here. I hope the recipe turns out amazing for you. Please let me know if you give it a try! xTieghan
Hi,
These popsicles look fantastic! I’m inquiring about the jams in put in the recipe. Am I to use all of the flavored jams listed or just one? Thanks a bunch.
Hi Shawn, I was going to ask the same thing. 1/2 c if each jam or a total of a 1/2 c of 1 jam or glob all the jams in a 1/2 c?
It’s 1/2 cup of one flavor of jam. There is a story on IG that shows her making them and that is where I saw it specified that you use one flavor at a time.
Hey Kristen,
You are going to use 1/2 cup of jam total. If you want to use several flavors like I did, I made separate bowls for each. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Hey Shawn,
It’s really up to you. I used a varieties of jams but use whatever you like:) I hope you love the recipe! xTieghan
I’m going to make them for sure! Thank again for a wonderful and healthy recipe!
Thanks Stella! I hope you love them!
Does it matter if you use non fat, low fat, or whole milk greek yogurt? These look great! Can’t wait to try.
Hey Amy,
Any of those will work just fine here! I hope the recipe turns out amazing for you. Please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Hi.
Do you think these could be made using unsweetened almond milk?
Thanks.
Hey Nancy,
Yes, I think that would work well for you. I hope you love the recipe!! xTieghan

Hey Anita,
Yes, that will work just fine! I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan

For the greek yoghurt, can I use 0%? or does it have to be 10%?
