Step 3: Next, blend the frozen raspberries with 100g of yogurt until smooth. Pour this layer over the kiwi layer and freeze for 1 hour until set.
Step 4: Finally, blend the frozen blackberries with the remaining 100g of yogurt. Pour over the raspberry layer, cover the moulds, and freeze the lollies overnight to fully set.
Step 5: To serve, run the moulds briefly under warm water to loosen the lollies and carefully remove them.

Tips & Variations

Use Greek yogurt for a thicker, creamier texture.
Try adding a touch of honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness if desired.
Swap fruits based on seasonal availability or your favorites to customize flavors.
If you don’t have ice lolly moulds, small paper cups and wooden sticks work well as substitutes.

Storage

Store the rainbow fruit lollies in the freezer, covered, for up to two months. To serve, briefly run the mould under warm water to loosen each lolly before removing. Avoid refreezing once thawed for best texture and taste.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use fresh berries instead of frozen?

Frozen berries help create a smooth, thick texture and keep the layers from mixing. Using fresh berries may result in thinner layers and longer freezing times.

Do I need to add sugar or sweetener?

The natural sweetness of the fruits and yogurt is usually enough, but you can add a little honey or maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter lolly.

Notes

Use full-fat or Greek yogurt for a creamier texture, or low-fat yogurt to reduce calories.
Ensure each layer is fully frozen before adding the next to maintain distinct colors and textures.
You can substitute fruits based on seasonality or preference, such as using strawberries or blueberries.
To keep the sticks upright while freezing, tape them securely to avoid slanting.
This recipe yields 6 lollies, perfect for a small batch treat.
Use fresh or frozen fruits; frozen fruit can help with the chilling process.
