Boozy Strawberry Rhubarb Yogurt Pops
I am dedicating the next few posts to frozen treats, ice cream. sorbet and popsicles. These popsicles are so simple to make and sort of nutritionally sound because they contain very little sugar and if you omit the booze it’s like a frozen breakfast popsicle. A few posts back I told you I made a rhubarb cordial, I used it in the Pavlova and now in these popsicles. They are so easy to make, all you need is a popsicle mold and a few ingredients, no cooking required. You don’t need to use any alcohol in your pops, honestly there is so little in this it’s almost not there, but for a family friendly popsicle simply omit. I didn’t really use a recipe for this, eyeballed and the measurements below are approximate, it just happens that it made pretty much the right amount to fill the molds. I added and tasted so bear in mind that this is not exact.
I just got a great popsicle mold made my onyx, it’s stainless steel, freezes quickly and the popsicles come out like a dream. I am very happy with it because it also has a feature that ensures the stick remains in place and can be inserted when you first place it in the freezer, genius.
I’ve got my ice packs and insulated carrier ready because I’m bringing these beauties to Fiesta Friday #126. This is a holiday weekend and Angie’s co hosts are all of us. It is up to us to vote on our favorite recipes.
Strawberry Rhubarb Yogurt Popsicles
Makes 8
measurements are approximate
Strawberries
2 cups strawberries cleaned and sliced
2 tbs sugar (use if you like and sweeten to taste)
1/4 cup rhubarb cordial
Yogurt
2 cups whole milk greek yogurt (approximately 14 oz)
sugar to taste
2 tbs rhubarb cordial
1 tsp vanilla
Mash the macerated strawberries with a fork. Mix the yogurt with the sugar, rhubarb cordial and vanilla. The cordial thins the very thick greek yogurt slightly, if using greek yogurt you will want to thin it a bit with either the cordial or a liquor, water, milk or cream or fruit juice, your choice. Layer the strawberries first, then the yogurt and end with the yogurt. Place in freezer and enjoy in 4+ hours. See how easy this is.
Happy 4th be safe! xx
Thank you! Not doing too much a few friends are coming over. Low key!! Be safe and come home soon!!
On the 5th! woo-hoo…xx
Strawberry rhubarb is a match made in heaven! Love all the fruits and yogurt – I am so going to make them for my daughter’s breakfast (minus the booze) because popsicles are a genius way to get kids to eat more fruits. And your popsicle maker — OMG — I have not seen an object more divine 🙂
Yes I think they are a great cool breakfast in the go! Happy 4th and thank you so much!!
These are perfect for cooling us down! I’d get in trouble with these and it would be difficult for me to share. 🙂
I love Popsicles in the summer it’s so great to satisfy the sweet craving and cool you at the same time, a little booze doesn’t hurt either!! Thank you so much and happy 4th!!!
Cheers!
Yum! Love the strawberry-rhubarb combination, and what a beautiful Popsicle maker! I think it’s time for me to make an upgrade 🙂
I have a different one that I had been using but love this mold so much I now want the other shapes. The stainless freezes quickly and releases easily. It’s the best. Thanks Jasmine.
Perfect treat for this hot summer and here where i live the temperature is more than 45°C.😓😓
What 45C thats blazing hot. You need a popsicle my friend.
What a great idea Suzanne, these Popsicles look fantastic. I can’t wait to get home to make them. Have a wonderful 4th of July. I will be driving on the German Autobahn on the 4th.
Oh lucky you going to Germany. Have a safe and wonderful trip and thank you so much Gerlinde.
These look absolutely divine 😊
Thank you so much.
I loved the tie-die / ombré effect on the Popsicles! The onyx Popsicle maker is sure shot genius invention.. I am going to look for one myself 🙂
Thanks so much Sonal, never thought of tie dye, love that tie dye pops. Thank you so much. Highly recommend the onyx mold.
Reblogged this on ravenhawks' magazine and commented:

I really want one of these. Stunning!
Thanks Emma, it’s a delicious popsicle.
Can I have one right now?? Sounds like the best flavour combo!
You sure can Jenn thanks so much.
Happy 4th! These are going to be perfect for the long weekend. I’ll be making some popsicles myself tonight 🙂 Can’t beat homemade!
Thanks Sarah. I am loving making the popsicles and have to stop myself from filling up my freezer with all manner of frozen treats.
Oooh Suzanne, that really does sound like a treat on this hot humid day. Perfect time of year for a mini-series on frozen treats. Brilliant.
They turned out really pretty too. But your foods always do. 😀
Have a fun-tabulous Fourth of July. Mega hugs!
Thank you so much Teagan, I loved making these popsicles and am having fun with my new toy.
Mmm, I would so love to have one of these for breakfast, Suzanne – minus the booze – it’s like fruit and yogurt 🙂
BTW, that rhubarb cordial sounds delightful! Hope you have a wonderful 4th of July weekend
Thanks Shashi, yes without the booze it’s frozen breakfast on a stick. You have a wonderful 4th of July holiday as well.
I should have brought my cooler to Fiesta Friday today so I could bring these home! Is it wrong that I want one of these at noon?😋
You are too sweet, thank you so much Michelle.
Ooh, lovely lollies 😍😍😍
Thanks so much Elaine, love lollies.
Lokks extra delicious! I love the use of the rhubarb cordial here, and the lovely pattern! 🙂
Thank you so much Ronit. it was a nice way to use some of the cordial and it tastes so nice with the strawberries.
These sound very refreshing and yummy Suzanne. Have a great Fourth of July weekend 🙂
Thank you Jess you have a wonderful holiday as well.
Wow, I got dragged into this post just by looking at those gorgeous popsicles Suzanne. I always wonder if I need to invest in all these amazing gadgets I see on various blogs. However, I’m convinced I need to have those stainless steel ones. Just love the flavors of your boozy popsicles. 🙂
They are not tremendously boozy, just a touch, of course more can be added but I like it light especially in the summer. Thanks so much Loretta. Recommend this brand of popsicle mold, it’s super good quality.
These look absolutely beautiful Suzanne, love the color and the contrast layers too! 🙂
Thank you so much Linda.
I’ve had a bit of catching up to do – I’ve been off my game, lol! I have been wanting to make boozy pops and these look amazing! Wish I had one right now!! 🙂
Thanks Mollie, I hope you are doing ok. Love a boozy pop or a boozy slushy drink. I am going to make one for my next post.
I am, thanks, and I’ll look forward to that!! 🙂
Sounds yummy
Thanks so much Lynn.
Most welcome xx
Those popsicles are so pretty. I just love strawberry and rhubarb together and booze? Yep, I like booze. I’ve never seen popsicle molds like those. Will definitely head over and check them out.
It is a wonderful mold, best quality I’ve seen and I love that it’s not plastic. Thanks Julie.
They look Yummy! Very sophisticated popsicle gear you have there!! 😉
Thanks Julianna. I have been looking for that type of mold but didn’t want plastic. Was so happy to find them at a reasonable price and such good quality.
Gorgeous pops Suzanne! I am looking forward to your other frozen treats too. Happy 4th!
Thank you so much Kathryn, Happy 4th of July to you as well!!
Perfect for 4th of July weekend! Yum!
I landed on your blog from Sumith babu’s. Lovely creation 😊
I’m so glad you did. I enjoy Sumith’s blog and thank you for stopping by here. Looking forward to visiting your blog a well.
Sure, you are most welcome on my humble virtual abode.
The vivid colour looks so inviting and makes me want to reach in and grab one. Sadly that’s not possible! I like the idea of the pops being sugar lite.
Thank you so much, yes these are tart, light on the sugar and really delicious.
Lovely ice-pops! Are these boozy? Is rhuabrb cordial boozy? Is it falvoured with gin? Vodka? I love to make these soon though! 🙂 A beautiful presentation too! xxx
Hi Sophie, yes the rhubarb cordial is vodka, rhubarb and sugar. Very boozy indeed. I used only a small amount so these pops are not intoxicating but it does give such a nice flavor when the strawberries macerate in the cordial. Thanks so much.
Hope you had a nice 4th! I love the idea of these popsicles. Yum!
Thanks Debbie, hope you had a nice holiday as well!!
These are so beautiful, Suzanne! They must taste wonderful, too. I can imagine that the tartness from the rhubarb and the creaminess from the yoghurt would be a great combination! How fun that you were able to get more than one use out of the cordial!
Thanks Shari they are really good the strawberries taste do fresh and the whole thing is only lightly sweetened it is a really nice combination😃😃
Yes, super easy, but oh soo stunningly beautiful! I love all the layers. The contrast of the strawberry and rhubarb against the white yogurt is perfection.
Thanks Patty had one tonight at 11pm it’s still in the mid 80’s Popsicle weather❤️💕
This is a winner, Suzanne! So refreshing and I second Patty, they are stunningly beautiful!
Thank you so much Angie, they were fun to make and are so good on a hot day.
OK Suzanne– these are the prettiest popsicles on record! And that popsicle maker!! You have the best equipped kitchen– I always love what comes out of it… Stay cool! xo
Thanks Rhonda, the colors are so pretty, the strawberries were so red, I almost added a layer of blueberry for a patriotic popsicle, LOL. I totally love my popsicle mold, it’s great quality and makes the prettiest popsicles.
Yep, they do look like holiday pops!! even without the blue. Fun post Suzanne!
These look so pretty and sound delicious!
Thank you so much Caroline.
Oh you are just doing this to make me drool! RHUBARB!! I ADORE rhubarb!! And boozy popsicles with rhubarb? I think I’ve died and gone to heaven! And that popsicle maker, wow! I have an issue with using sticks that are made in China (don’t trust that they are safe/chemical free). Do you buy yours any place in particular, Suzanne?
Thanks so much, I don’t know where the popsicle sticks are made, I got them from the same place I got the mold, they are bamboo, compostable, reusable (they say but I wouldn’t do that) I hope they are chemical free.
Ooh, those sound pretty good! I’ll look for them, thanks Suzanne!
Suzanne,
Popsicles are my favorite part of summer. I love Greek yogurt popsicles and these boozy ones are just perfect:)
In the summer I can’t get enough of popsicles, ice cream and frozen drinks. You are so right, it’s the best part of summer.
I just received an email from Food 52 advertising this popsicle maker and ordered it from them. Looks like a great kitchen gadget for me to have. I missed your post so I’m glad that you were featured so I could read all about it 🙂
Oh thats great, I love it. I was previously using Zoikos brand which was good but this one is so much better and I prefer not just the shape of the popsicle but the fact that it’s stainless steel rather than plastic. I just saw it in the Food52 shop. Very cool, thank you Judi.
