Got 30 minutes? Then you can make these quick patrioticly-hued, red, white, and blue pops, which are a perfect dessert for the Fourth of July. You can also make these a non-holiday cool treat using other berries or fruit in other colors.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups halved hulled strawberries

  • 6 tablespoons sugar, divided

  • 5 tablespoons lime juice (from 3 limes), divided

  • ½ cup full-fat plain yogurt

  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream

  • 2 cups blueberries

Directions

  1. In a blender, combine strawberries, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1 1/2 tablespoons lime juice. Puree, scraping down sides as needed. Pour through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing on solids; discard solids. Divide puree among six 4-ounce or eight 3-ounce ice-pop molds. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.

  2. Combine yogurt, cream, and 2 tablespoons each sugar and lime juice. Remove molds from freezer and top with yogurt mixture; insert ice-pop sticks. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.

  3. In clean blender, puree blueberries, remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, and remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons lime juice. Pour through clean sieve into a bowl, pressing on solids; discard solids. Remove molds from freezer and top with blueberry puree. Freeze until solid, 6 hours more (or up to 1 week). Just before serving, briefly run molds under hot water to release pops.
