Ingredients
- 1 cup thawed orange juice concentrate
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 cups full-fat plain yogurt
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Directions

In a small saucepan, combine juice concentrate and sugar over medium-low. Cook, stirring, until sugar is dissolved, 3 minutes.
-
Stir in yogurt and vanilla. Transfer to a large liquid-measuring cup, pour into ten 3-ounce ice-pop molds, and insert ice-pop sticks. Freeze until pops are solid, about 6 hours (or up to 1 week). Briefly run molds under hot water to release pops.

I saw this recipe and I had some orange juice concentrate on hand, but didn't have the yogurt. So I just whipped up some cream and blended it into the orange juice concentrate. This is not much of a healthy change, but I think the whipped cream will lighten up the mixture and solve the texture problem.
We did not care for this recipe. Tasted too much like frozen orange juice concentrate right out of the can. Very heavy for popsicles.
Is there a reason for the full fat plain yogurt? Could you make with Greek or low fat regular? Is it a freezing issue?

Where does one get "regular old popsicle moulds" like that!??!!?!
I would definitely make these if I had moulds like those.
