PREPARATION
- Mix The Base: In a small bowl, gently mash the raspberries with the back of a fork until slightly pulpy. This releases natural juices and creates an attractive flecked colour.
- Fold In Peach: Stir the finely chopped peach into the mashed berries, ensuring even distribution of fruit in each bite.
- Sweeten And Cream: Add the plant-based yoghurt and honey (or maple syrup). Fold gently until the mixture is uniform and still lightly marbled. Avoid over‑mixing to maintain fruit texture.
- Fill Moulds: Spoon the mixture into a single lollipop mould or small paper cups, leaving a few millimetres at the top for expansion.
- Insert Sticks: If using cups, freeze for 30 minutes first, then insert lollipop sticks or wooden skewers into the centres so they stand upright.
- Freeze Solid: Return to the freezer for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight, until fully set and firm to the touch.
- Serve: To unmould, briefly dip the mould or cup in warm water for a few seconds. Gently pull out each pop and serve immediately.

TIPS
- Uniform Chopping: Dice the peach into small and even pieces so each pop has consistent flavour pockets.
- Prevent Splashes: Spoon the mixture slowly into moulds to avoid mess and ensure neat edges.
- Chill Tools: Freeze the moulds or cups for five minutes before filling to speed up the setting process.
- Sweetness Check: Taste the mixture before freezing, so adjust honey or syrup to suit the ripeness of your fruit.
- Layered Look: For a swirled effect, layer yoghurt and fruit purée instead of folding together, then marbly stir lightly.
- Portable Snack: Store finished pops in a sealed freezer bag upright to prevent sticking.
VARIATIONS
- Berry Blend: Replace half the raspberries with blueberries or strawberries for a mixed‑berry pop.
- Citrus Twist: Stir in ½ teaspoon lemon or lime zest to brighten the flavour.
- Mint Freshness: Add 1 teaspoon finely chopped mint to the yoghurt mixture for a cooling note.
- Creamier Base: Swap plant yoghurt for coconut cream for extra richness.
- Protein Boost: Mix in 1 teaspoon of plant-based vanilla protein powder for a more filling snack.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Fridge: Not suitable for pops that require freezing to maintain texture.
- Freezer: Store in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to two weeks. Label with date to enjoy at peak flavour.
- Serving: Pull only needed pops from the freezer; allow a 30-second rest at room temperature for easier biting.
